There have been a lot of questions raised about the date for which Ace Combat 5 and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas hits store shelves. To answer that question, those of us that were smart enough to pre-order the games, will get our copies before anyone else. i know for a fact that EB will not shelve GTA:SA until all the pre-orders have been taken care of. It will probably be a week until it actually hits the shelves. AC5 will hit shelves probably 2 days after the release date. Now to end all the moans and groans, if you pre-order these games they should be ready for pick up on Monday, October 25. I know that I can pick up both of my copies on this date. Basically you can choose which date in that first week that you want to pick your game up in. If you decided not to spend the extra $5 bucks then expect to pick it up some time next week. Its really not that big of deal if you can wait 1 or 3 years then you can wait an extra week, or until the extra copies come out.
