What could have been. So i was killing time looking at some PS3 games at Wal Mart yesterday(Friday) when what game do i see KILLZONE 2! Like 15 copies just sitting there in the case! My heart skipped a beat and i could not believe it, could I play the most anticipated release of the year a full week early? I got an employee to open the case and we went to the register to ring it up, when he scanned the game the register started beeping and a message came up saying "Product not authorized" I was like oh crap nooooooo! he then looked looked it up on his computer and told me that he could not sell it until the 27th and that someone had accidentally put it out. I pleaded with him to no avail. He then proceeded to remove all copies of the game. BUMMER!!! o well less than a week to go.

BTW anyone else have a simaler experience or was successful in getting it?

They probably put a lock on it so the computer cannot sell it until that set time.

Wow...that has never happened to me before. I would probably think of putting it down my pants and give a reason to the employee to not take it back but I highly doubt that would work:P:P. It would be funny if it did. Anyway atleast u can see u were THAT close to getting one of 2009's biggest games a week before its release.:D

Have not heard or seen any killzone 2 games yet...but when Mass Effect launched for the 360 about two weeks before the street date rumors where flying that people where getting copies at K-mart so I stopped by one and sure enough their it was. I asked the clerk for it and took it out of the electronics department to the front registers and the lady that rang it up didn't say a word. It was good to get a single player game early but for a great multiplayer like KZ2 looks to be it would be torture to only be able to play campaign and bot battles.

Sorry to see that about a game you've been waiting for. But in a sense, they get pissy over stuff like that anyways so it's kinda good that he couldn't sell it to you. They seem to be trying to really crack down on that.

Though, I would've lost my head back in June if it were me and MGS4 lol

I was also at a walmart once and saw James bond 007: everything or nothing with cover art of bond repelling down a building then went to buy it at Gamestop and the employee said it wasn't going to be released for another week. I even went back to walmart and couldn't find it anymore until about a week later when it was released with new cover art. Did I miss that there was a demo or different version that Walmart had?

I almost had the same experience but it made me feel dumb. I see a copy of Killzone 2 about a month ago in Best Buy just on a self lined up like you line books up on a self. So I could only see the spine of the game. So anxiously, feeling like it was taking forever to grab the game. I finally did. Feeling that it had the plastic wrap around just made it more real. I grab anxious to see the front, and turning it over fast but felt like forever to see the cover of Killzone 2 and almost pissing myself. Then I read at the top "Reserve Your Copy Today".I almost started crying.
