Saw a comment from someone saying they got it from Blockbuster, had a look at a few forums around the web and yup, seems a lot of places are selling it already.

Woolworths, Currys and Game are currently selling it.
Off to town at lunchtime then.

Hurrah

Shops are not supposed to break them, but sometimes do, in the Getaways case i think sony decided to release it early, probably due to the christmas rush.

Just out of interest, anyone know if there is some kind of law that means games shouldnt be allowed to be sold early?

As it seems many places do.

The street date was broken today in Cardiff - and although where I work we didn't actually sell any copies, if anyone asked for it, we would have.

Woolworths wern't actualy selling it, we just put it on display to fool people. If you look closely there's a sticker saying it's not released yet.

...That goes for the one I work at anyways.

Indeed. That's the trouble with bandwagons, and the jumping on thereof.
