"Early Zelda"

Over at Cube-Europe a few people have recieved their copys of The Wind Waker today from G**E, three days before release.

Now I've ordered a Platinum Pack from there, which on the 25th of April was said to have been getting ready to be dispatched and will 'be with me shortly'. Maybe it'll come tommorow? Maybe today? Don't think today though, they don't deliver now, I think...

Anyway, can't they get sued for sending stuff out early or something?

Where your chicken suit?

I'm going to the launch party.

*does the david brent dance*

Yeah!

Mine came today too (ordered from g**e), Brilliant game!

With the bonus disc! I was lucky, i didnt realise i need a 60hz telly for the bonus disc, good job my telly supports it!

Oh and i need a link cable for my gba!! im probley missing somethings in the game!

*runs down to SR Stapleford, oh look they havent got any, also they havent had any copies of SMB2 for 5 weeks now!!

Unlucky! Mine came today, with bonus disc! :-)

I ordered Wind Waker off the G*** website, hopefully i'll get it early.

No sign of it yet though and every time I try and track my order it tells me that order tracking is not available at the moment.

GAME can do what they want within reason. They have such a huge market share in the UK, the games publishers need them almost more than GAME need them.

GAME basically dictate to the publisher. So if the street date is 'accidentally' broken by a couple of days, Ninty are in no position to do anything - other than supply them with more copies of the game to sell.

Hmmm.

You need to recognise the fact that there is a huge difference between using the name of a competing store in the context of a sent ace or discussion and basically posting something that is an advert.

If you came on here and posted something that simply listed the prices of PC games in GAME and nothing else, then yes, SR would and indeed should delete that post. This is a *chat* forum, not ebay.

However, to mention the name of a shop that offers a similar service to that of SR in a sentence or in a *chat* conversation you are having with someone is always going to be fine. Even if in the course of that conversation you mention a specific game or price.

It's all about context young Skywalker.

If they were to break the street dates, Nintendo aren't gonna sue.

After all, the retailers would only have to stop selling all Nintendo products and Nintendo would lose a fortune.

A myth, but it is true topics get deleted if you blatently promote another company.

And to show I have no problem with putting that name in another time...GAME GAME GAME GAME GAME GAME GAME.

Childish? Yes I am.
