Warcraft 3 out already at WAL-MART ??

[golfreak]

My buddy stopped at a Walmart 2 days ago(Monday) and they had the ganme out on the shelves.
He thought he was strange and checked everywhere else and no one has it out.
He bought it and have been playing it ever since.

Did an employee goofed and put it out when they're not suppose to or is it out at alot of places already ??
Just wondering if any of you guys got it already.

Gonna go to a walmart today and see if they have it(and its $57 BTW).

10 to 1 it'll be "sold out" when you get there.

Keep us informed.

walmart typically does this because they don't care about strict on sale dates.

I've been able to buy games and Lego numerous times from walmart weeks before the on sale date.

i've been playing the single player campaigne.. but i'll need to buy it for sure to get on official b/net. also, would b/net be functioning for war3 if blizzard doesn't expect the game to be in consumer hands b4 7/3? if that's the case, there's no point for me to get the game early.. i hear costco is going to have it for 50.

Walmart *DOES* care about release dates. We can be fined in extreme amounts for putting items on the shelf before the release date. Also when going through the cash register the item will ring up "Do not sell" because of the consequences we face.

I highly doubt he bought it. It is most likely a warez version and he tricked you.

ARrrrrgh matey! Arrrr.

 

[golfreak]

No its not a warez and no he didn't trick me.
I was just over at his place and yes he does have the full retail box.

Its just strange to me that this particular Wal-mart has it out this early before the release date.
