SFxT Street Date Breaking / Early Sighting thread

damn someone at pandoras cube was tellin people they were going to sell it today. wonder why they decided not to sell it today, that blows!

Oh how SRK has changed…
I’m going around NYC today to check my normal spots in the village and chinatown. They normally get it by later today/tomorrow.
Honestly its not usual for stores to tell you if they have it over the phone because its ILLEGAL to sell it before tuesday. Best bet is to go in person show some cash and interrogate the fuck outta them.

Any bay area luck? Pm please if anyone finds anything. Gonna go on a hunt tonight.

norcal and bay area is useless nothing till tuesday

to anyone who has the game:

are Akuma/Bison/Jin/Ogre available from the get-go, or do you have to unlock them?

if you have to unlock them, is it done through stupid arcade mode like SF4?

Theyre pre unlocked

I’m going to call Games On in San Diego once they open.

If anyone has an extra PS3 copy they’d be willing to one day mail, PM me (with a bonus included). lol

The only characters that are locked out of the box are Mega Man and Pac-Man. Everyone else is available and selectable.

Although now that I think about it, I didn’t see Cole on the select screen. Then again I wasn’t looking, so who knows.

Just got the game not too long ago, bestsku is the fucking SHIT.

Just got my copy from Best Sku. Thank You Best Sku!

It is absolutely not Illegal. Please don’t spout that nonsense without facts please.

Grrrrr. I should have went the bestsku route.

If anyone finds an nyc spot lmk.
Also dont call. Just ask casually as if you don’t know when it comes out.

Phone call
"hey guys when are you selling that thing you have a contract not to sell until x date?"
“On x date”

What else do you expect?

Chain stores are a no no. Even if its behind the glass.
Paying extra is rarely encouraged but if its ridiculous haggle. (When little big planet was delayed some dick tried to sell it to me for 80, I got him down to 65 but jeez
Also never pay above 10 extra (especially not here considering patience and 10 dollars more means all gems)

It can result in them no longer getting games early which might as well make it illegal because mom and pop video game stores get eaten up by gamestop.

Its not I sue you illegal, its breaking a contract.

A fine if they are caught.

damn. does anybody know any other places in DC/MD/VA besides pandoras?

Better if you just go in and don’t ask them about it over the phone. The guy I talked to yesterday sad to just go in to ask

Actually nevermind. Just call and see what they say. I don’t wanna call again. Lemme know if any good news

pretttttttty sure retailers can get hit with some litigation for breaking the street date. not saying its illegal, but i think its a breach of contract since most retailers sign deals with publishers etc saying they wont break the street date. whether or not they enforce it is an entirely different thing, though.

Anyone who ordered from bestsku yesterday get their stuff shipped today yet?
