No I just read the first and last page, but in the last page they still no one gave an answer.

I doubt they will be selling it tomorrow anyway.

One or two of you might be able to fool some idiot and get a copy tomorrow, but the chances of the biggest game in 2 years being street broken a week early is slim to zero.


Happens all the time though. Microsoft exclusives were sold a week early last year, Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 both broke street date. Its always a company like Kmart/BigW/Target. Theyre employees dont exactly care about the gaming industry and do not give two shits if they sell it early.

So what your saying is you got no come back? Xbox hero.

My comeback was to prove you wrong, in which I did. Don't come here gloating that you were the first in Australia, when the original source for the broken date wasn't even from QLD, where you claimed it happened.

On-topic..... Friend who works at Big W (Fairfield) said that they don't even have their game yet. lol..... And they also got the email from HO.

Good luck to anyone who can get poor old man/lady to rip open a box and sell a copy.

BAM! and the dirt is gone!

A few people have rang and been told yes. One person got told no by one store, but yes by another. Ring for yourself and see if any in the area are selling it. Its in the catalog, if you take a catalog to the store and say its advertised I want it, they will hand it over if they havent been told otherwise.

I'd be surprised if there will be any fines... not smart to upset your retailer partners even if they do something silly. MS will deal with it another way.

Nah I have the presitge pre-ordered at EBGames so I wouldn't even get it if Big W were selling it, but I might ring EB and see if they decide to sell it early.

Exactly. BigW is a huge seller of MS/Activision goods, so they'll get a talking to in order to try and make sure it doesn't happen again, and that'll be it.

Re: MW2 being sold at Big W tomorrow.
I spoke to my mother earlier, because she was out xmas shopping for my brother and she asked what games he wanted, and I told her. She was at target(I think) and they were going to give her MW2 but they didn't have the case. The lady said something a long the lines off "We have it here but I can't find the case for this game anywhere, I can sell it to you but with no case". Of course she didn't buy it without the case but still.

If they are really going to sell it, this is illeagal, but, these store employees don't understand street dates, they just dump whatever they get onto the shelves.

I won't be purchasing straight away, if i read POSITIVE Aussie/NZ opinions on the online multiplayer mode - it will be a certain purchase. If not, i won't be interested until it drops down in price.

I hate to say this to you but in legal terms you got no foot to stand on.

A catalogue is an invitation to treat and hence they do not have to honour that price.

Although you might have a case, very slim chance mind you, if an employee said to you personally that they are selling it.

However overall the company no chance
