samuelburrowsuk Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 If the game is despatched by some companies early to beat the Postal strike (similar thing happened with Windows 7 last week) and some happy customers receive their DVD tomorrow, Wednesday or Thursday - will SI authorise the early release of the game to the shops and / or Steam / DD as a result? I know its purely speculative but I fail to believe it hasn't been discussed in SI Towers. Can't say I'm totally confident of getting an official response :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutontown1991 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Some companies havent even recieved the game yet so cant dispatch it. Its very unlikely that they will authorise the game early. No matter how many days before the release date you will only be able to activate the game on official release date Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggie26 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 It would be nice if SI contacted distributers and give them green light to ship early .......... for all our sake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal postie Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 can't see why they would authorise early release of the game. its surely more work than its worth making sure that every single retailer that is selling the game, knows that they can sell it early. i mean, are they going to wait for the first person on here (perhaps on a thursday) to say 'i've got it' before jumping into action and telling all the shops they can sell it 14 hours earlier? perhaps they will. but i dont see it.

Matt ex SEGA Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 It's been discussed and the position is clear. Retailers have a responsibility to get the game to you on launch day. How they choose to do that is not something that we can influence or control. We're not planning on moving the street date at this point - that does make it extremely difficult for those who have a huge amount of stock to distribute etc - and most retailers that I've looked at are looking at contingency plans of their own.
