I just heard from my friend that Modern Warfare 2 is selling in Gamestop stores (I live in NYC). Apparently Gamestop got fed up with all the small companies selling it before the release date and complained to Activision. I heard from the same friend it is only happening in NY. Can anyone confirm this? If this is true that means I can't preorder it tomorrow and I'm going to have to wait until the next shipment.

Highly unlikely, call a local game stop though you never know.

I've heard of isolated cases, but nothing on a wide scale.

this story was actually confirmed, activision gave some gamestops permission to sell the game to try and curve the losses from all of the mom and pop stores selling it early, its on kotaku if your interested, its places in north eastern america i believe, which would be why new york falls in to that category

A few of my friends have it. They said "A Store in our area is selling it early." They live in Syracuse, NY. So they must be in some parts.

Its all happening on the east coast due to mom and pop stores breaking street dates. Its so stores like Gamestop don't lose out on money because some of there customers could buy it elsewhere already...

Sucks that a lot of us get shafted... but its only a couple days away.

I have it. It's awesome.

If you live in Los Angeles, they're selling it at the GameStop in Culver City (corner of Washington and Venice). They're very open about it to, no discretion. They even called me in advance. The line was out the door and I waited 45 minutes.

Yeah, my friend just picked up his version in Bowling Green, OH. I live in a suburb of Columbus, called mine and they said no other than a midnight launch.

Curve their losses? Not only will Gamestop sell their copies out anyways, but they have risen to the power they are today from massively ripping off gamers & are beyond creating a loss.

Yeah I'm not freaking out over getting my hands on the game anyways either. I won't get it until Friday as I bought it for $48 with free shipping online, ships Tuesday & always delivers on Friday. The game isn't so important to me that I could pass up on saving $14.

I highly doubt it. i used to work for gamestop and they're very strict with their releases, alot of times they dont even get their games until the day before or the day of release.
