I'll stay because I still care about my post count

Now, I'm a PC'er, so this doesn't affect, but I do the big name stores have less manners than the more dedicated game stores. (EB Games, Funcoland, Gamestop), when it comes to games. I have experienced up to 4 day delays or early releases from big name stores, who aren't dedicated to gaming, (WalMart, Target, KMart). It just happens.
And that is the same reason store like EB would not put a game on the shelf prior to the release date, but a chain like Wally World would. The wage slaves at Walmart just grab a box and whatever is in it, so long as it is the right type of item, goes on the shelf. HL2 was on the shelf 2 days prior to the release date at the Walmart in my town, and with one of those goofy "Just Reduced" labels on it.
Yeah, I don't have much respect for big chain stores when they pull off stuff like that. It seems to me that they pull off this kinda things, because they won't get punished by it.
The thing is that even if they do get hit with a fine from the publisher for putting a game out on the shelf early it would barely even show up on their end of the year buget outlook.
Ya man, those giant retailers would pay off the fine with their bellybutton lint.

Not only does it work, it really works.
Especially coming from a lovely sweet creamy caramel like Kazic.
Bad Gandalf! Stop eating Kazic!

There's like a Target near where where I am driving tommorow, how convienent can you get?

WHEN DOES TARGET OPEN???

OK folks, I've got some good news for you: even thougth game retailers like EBgames or Gamestop got the game last week, they've refused to sell it until the 7th (Tuesday).
However, Target stores are putting it on the shelve at midnight tonight....so you can pick it up first thing tomorrow morning! (w00t)

Plus, those are starforge robes, they weren't exclusive to Revan.

It's the 6th, of course. I just hope stores will follow through.

Of course, Microsoft probably stuck those big "do not sell before 12/6" labels on them.

LOL, people like that can get annoying. Do you guys think I could trick my best buy into handing over a copy of tsl?
You gotta be good friends with one of the staff there. Like I said earlier, I am mad because I lost my store connections. Before, I was able to snag such titles a week before they actually released.

Nah, he wasn't that bad of a poster, but the thing was back in the flame days, he'd always switch sides in an argument.

Very demoralizing, he's like Duh, you should know.

It was a reaction of OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN...
Masked Sith Dude with no name... lets call him MSG
Like, d00d, where's OSW been anyway?
-
Masked Sith Guy always had a certain ring to it. Just like before Darth Sion was named, he was known as Sexy Mofo.
Kay, maybe not.
-
How did we ever start calling Darth Nil MSG. Ya'll know that's a type of perservative right?
Masked Sith Guy is the name we gave him before his actual name was revealed.

How did walmart get the game early anyways? Here the game isn't even shipping tell the 6th. So how was walmart selling the game early, it dosn't really make sense... Perhaps those who said they got it from walmart lied as well?
All stores get games early, that way they can put them on the shelves opening day. It wouldn't make sense to ship the game out to stores the day it comes out, they wouldn't have enough time to stock their shelves and label and price everything in their databases
Actually i asked two stores and they both said it will be shipped on the 6th... They will have it in possibly late on the 6th or on the 7th.
That's not good hear.

No, they really do have it. Mine had it but was sold out.
I figured you were lying jedi. But just incase I wanted to make it clear no story or plot spoilers lol. I would have been upset to get the game and then have it play out just like you told me.
