RE: The official Super Smash Bros Brawl thread.
The games are shipped a few days earlier, but the stores aren't allowed to sell them until the release date. Stores that do sell games before the release date often get hit with a massive fine based on how many games they have sold.
I'm lucky enough to know all of the employees at my local Gamestop (and if all goes well I'll be working there this summer) so I may get the chance to play it a few days early.

It's common for stores to get games shipped to them a few days early. Logically, would it make any sense to ship the game the day of release when there could be problems that could affect the shipment getting to the store and cause both Nintendo and the store to lose money.cool said:i heard there are some stores getting the game 2 days early in usa but it might just be a rumor. i will try to keep everyone posted on that.
