Sheva reloading

Sheva I need You!

I went into GameStop today just to check on the RE5 console skins. I found out they have them, and they were checking in the back for them. Right aabout that same time I ask the store clerk if they would be getting the game early and he replied "We have the game already, for two days now, but we can't sell them until Friday". WTF. SO those S.O.Bs are in the back probably playing the game and I have to suffer for another day and a half., not fair at all.

I told him I reserved the Collector's Edition, I'll give you cash for the game and its UPC symbol, you give me the game and Friday just scan it in, he wouldn't go for it. I think he was looking for some sort of economic stimilus from me - I saw it in his eyes, but I didn't have it in my pockets and I wasn't paying no more for the game than what is actually cost. In fact I am trading in two games to get a discount. But that's ok, they will be open 7AM Friday morning and I'll be in queue waiting anxiously for my copy of the game. Man, he could have sold me the game, I would have made all you gamers jealous.

I'm actually purchasing a next-gen (albeit used) just for this game. I'm going to be out quite a bit just to see Wesker beat the crap out of someone. And BTW, Walmart electronics section FTW.

This happens with almost every game. There are 2 release dates for most major games, the ship date and street date. Ship date is when they send the copies and the street date is when they can start selling them. The ship date for RE5 was March 6th or last friday so all stores got it on Monday or Tuesday. They can be sued if they start selling the game early which is why they don't. Since they can't get caught, they will usually take their copies and not sell them since they don't want to get in trouble.
