I was at Walmart today and I was looking at the games, and they had a sign up saying Metroid PRime 3 will be in on 8/23. Then I got on the website to see if it was just a mistake, and the website said that the games ships on 8/21, so it adds up. I'm wondering if its just my walmart or other walmarts as, well, if so I'm going to be able to get the game almost a week early!

I wouldn't consider that a week early. That's how shipping is supposed to work, but a lot of places are real lazy about getting software in on time, so I guess I can see why that would surprise you...

There was one game I wanted for the GameCube that I couldn't find until a month after it came out.

That must be old advertisements. MP3 was originally dated to be shipped on the 21st. It was pushed back a week to ship on the 27th. Stores like Walmart usually gets their games in a few days late.

Sheesh, this is why I hate shopping at Walmart, mybe, they said call on the 23rd to see, but I doubt they will have them out.

But my previous post being said, I've never seen Wal-Mart specifically say they're having a game out on such-and-such date, so I assume it's real and they'll stick to it.

Silly Wal-Mart. I hate that store. That is why I love the South Park episode of Wal-Mart.

Yea they do sometimes get them early. One time I got a game early due to new employee's and they mistaked and sold me a game before it was supposed to come out. Happened with a DVD too once.
