If a game releases on, lets say March 6th ( :wink: ) will it be available at lets say FYE or Walmart on that day, or is it shipped on that day.  May be stupid but I dont want to waste a trip.

It means that they are shipped to the store (some time) that day. Most stores (unless its a big game) will what untill the next day to put them on the shelves.

Some stores get the games one day before release day so they can sell them as the open next day.

And are you lucky and you know the guy in the store you can get it one day earlier  :wink:

Well in Sweden they usually ship the games the day before so you have it on the release day.
