I'd be amazed if some shop in Austrailia got it before EB, CompUSA, Best Buy, Circuit City, Walmart, Target, and Gamestop in America. That'd be crazy.
I guess it's possible, but unlikely. Who knows though.
If you did, great. Post some screenies for all of us to look at while we wait.  |
EB games does not get titles before other shops. Maybe their main warehouse does but the shops sometimes get the titles on the shelf very late. |
You can't really generalize how EB does things. The retail environment is too dynamic.
I worked for EB for close to 2 years, and we had stock in the back room for many products before release on a LOT of occasions. In fact, I think our store beat every other retail outlet in our area on just about every release date "time", i.e, the time we put the product on the shelf or handed out the product (at least that's what our customers told us). The only time I can really remember getting something late out at our store, was UT on the XBOX....and it showed up in the evening. Other than that, and as far as I can remember, we were always on-time, or early, while I was there. I can't remember any titles ever being put out "very late" though.
I also worked for Best Buy and CompUSA. Best Buy was usually right on time or very close to release on the street-date, while CompUSA sometimes took a while longer depending on title. CompUSA was probably the worst that I can remember. lol
