So some Best Buys are evidently breaking the street date and selling Galaxy early. I know a lot of people will be against that, and I suppose it's understandable, but reviewers and Gamestop people have it already, and it's not like people aren't paying, it's just early. Has anyone checked their store? Were you successful? I'll probably call a little later, but either way, like to hear how common it is.

Might want to call first, I just read the Digg article about it, and the comments seem to show it's probably an isolated incident.

Best Buy is too far out of the way for me. Even though I'm dying waiting.

I called and they said no, but I might stop by tomorrow since they sold me Twilight Princess weeks before the Wii was even out. Also, it's a 4 day weekend and I need this game.

I think I'll run out there right now to just check. If they have it, I'll buy it. But if not, I'll just wait until it comes out at Toys 'R Us, since they have the whole get $25 gift card thing.

What do you mean "Gamestop people" already have it? I didn't seem that way when I paid off the game today. I asked when it should arrive, they said it depends on UPS, they didn't know for sure.

He means the demo disks. Taken out of the Wii demo units and put in to a retail Wii they are the full game. A lot of employees seem to be taking the game home with them at night and playing it there. That's how the game got leaked on to torrent sites a week ago. Also I know that a number of stores have been letting customers play for longer then the timer is supposed to last. It was a big enough problem that Gamestop circulated a memo.

Ah, alright. I just returned home from checking Best Buy and I had no luck finding Mario Galaxy. Guess I'll have to wait until Tuesday!
