They will sell them when they have them and have them in inventory to sell.

[Indy4]

but didnt lucasarts say that the instore realse date is march 29

so how are stores legalaly alowed to sell them before that date?

My opinion:

 

LucasArts probably allows retail stores to sell their products as soon as the retailers get it.

 

BestBuy says March 27

EB says March 28

 

But the "official" release date is March 29...that day is probably when EVERY SINGLE store in US will get it for sure

I don't think they're allowed to sell before perhaps march 27th

i dont think they can.. because IT HASN'T GOT THERE YET!!

but im willing to bet that once they actually recieve it on shelf it goes. Saw an ad in my Sunday paper 'Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Available 3/28 no later then 4pm'. I know that when i worked at Babbages there was no restrictions. But they are the largest game retailer in the world.......

Well I pre-ordered the game from LEC, and it shipped today 03/26. I guess the stores will have them tomorrow, but that doesn't mean that they will have them up for sale the same day. I would say that Thursday would be the day it will be available in stores.

The local software store i go to is going to have it for sale on thursday the 28. I called them yesterday to see if it would be out for sure on friday, given that i havne't heard about a demo other than the trailers.

My local EB store here in San Francisco says they'll have it available on March 28th, and they're usually dead on. Will usually get it out by noon.

[Frumpus]

Sheesh! I'm just glad it's earlier rather than later.

 

Can you imagine the STINK people would make if it were the other way around?! Just be GLAD it's early.

 

BTW, here in Saskatoon, Compusmart received 30 copies of it today (Mar. 27)

My local EB had copies in, but not available to purchase to the general public... AFAIK, the only ppl who were able to buy them were signed up for reserve copies, like me.
