OFFICIAL UMvC3 Early Sightings & Street Date Breaking Thread

So we got about 15 days until the official release date of UMvC3. Like most of you out there I want this game asap. The yearning for it is there, I CAN’T CONTROL IT!!! This thread is to track sightings on store shelves, online shops that are confirmed to be shipping the item, craigslist, etc.

If you do find something related to a place physically at that time selling the game early post up the store’s or person’s name along with an address or phone number to contact them at. Address should include city and state. I will monitor the posts in the thread and keep updating the first post with the new info. This will hopefully help a majority of us on here.

No talks of piracy.

Games master in the uk (London) usually have them a week to two weeks early but charge like £10 or so extra… independant games shop are usually the ones to break street dates

Do you remember how early they had MvC3?

NYC. PM me if you need the scoops.

A week early

Aside from one well-publicized case from two or so years ago, does anyone know if you can bribe GameStop employees into breaking street dates?

I honestly think Gamestop is to be a last resort. Independent stores are the ones you should keep your eyes open for. Kmart at times as well.

Anybody go to 7 Eleven yet?

7 Eleven has more in store for lunch. Breaded all white meat chicken tenders, oven baked pizza, mouth watering chicken wings and to kick things up a notch… WE’VE ADDED EARLY COPIES OF ULTIMATE MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3.

Raid the Slevens!

Thing is, I already have my pre-order there fully paid off, and my mother used to work with the woman who manages all the stores in my town, so I might be able to pull it off.

I’ll be the first to say that 7/11s all around have started to carry less and less games. This is due to the fact that usually people don’t go to 7/11 to buy games and the stores could not return them to the company so they would be stuck with 3 copies of a game that cost them like $50 each. $150 loss? I wouldn’t take my chances again. Also, not sure if you were around, but I had posted a during SFIV release that there was a mass letter circling the 7/11 chains saying that due to previous leaks of games they would only send the stores games on or after release date.

One day down, 14 more to go. Keep those peepers open guys.

Miami people send me PM is somebody knows of one of those ghetto latino independent stores. They would probably break the release date easy.

13 more days. The anticipation is killing me. Well, not really, but I just want to toy with it already.

I talked to an employee at a store in Long Beach, CA today and she said that they are going to try and get UMvC3 in on Friday the 11th.

Yea, I got mine from there as well. They had it on Friday.

Looking like the place to be then. I don’t have to preorder it or anything, right? Just stand in line?

12 days to go. Game should be popping up soon. I know that retail copies usually ship from the company at least two weeks before release.

I like this thread.

I’m definitely viewing the wait more in terms of the days until Skyrim comes out. Pretty much one more week until releases. Hopefully the time-suck that I expect it to be will help the next 4 days go by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast.
