Some stores get shipments on different days. Some of the time the store has the game already but also has a certain day that it has to release the product. I worked at a store the sold movies and games and we would get them sometimes weeks in advance but told by the company when to release it. And if it was released early we would get in trouble. It all depends on the store. Its bull crap though.

Being an ex retail manager, I can answer this.

Some don't order it on time (when you'd expect) or at all.
Sometimes the release dates have to get switched for accuracy then who knows who's 1st? Sometimes companies won't even deal with that crap until it gets released, then order it.


PEACE!!
