I'm going to try to get mine early since every person is going to GameStop or EB Games (I pre-ordered at the former) and getting it early :P.

You can't get it early. It's like a $3 million fine if you break street date (6/12). I don't think that the local manager has the money to cover that.

I dont understand why people dont have the patience to wait till release day? Im waiting for Thursday morning at 9:30 when the mall opens so Im just going to wake up, get dressed, call my grandma since my mom will be at work, and Ill take her car up to get the game, come home (Probably going atleast 10 MPH over the limit) and play the game.

he probably just told you to come in on wednesday so you'll waste your time and just have to come back the next day for asking a stupid question. why would you go to gamestop, the place that knows the most about video games (compared to other stores), and ask for something early. go to wal-mart next time or something.

Ive lost reciepts before aswell and all you have to do is say you preordered it and they'll ask for your information and if you answer right, which you obviously should, you'll get your copy. I dont know about midnight releases, Ive never been to one.

That's what I'm thinking, but I'm sure about midnight releases. I'm gonna check tomorrow and make sure they'll give it to me. :?

gamestop owns eb games, it was a purchase they made about a year ago if i remember right. i hate having to wait til the 12th when i know they have had the game in stock for a week. why cant they just sell it when they get their copies? it's pointless imo, except for wanting to have the highest total day one sales possible, to look better on NPD stats.
