FIFA 10 EARLY

alicaffrey

Does anyone know where I might be able to pick a copy of Fifa up early (before friday). There might be a shop near you that releases games early or you might work in gamestop or extra vision and may be able to help me out.
Cheers lads/girls

you could try harvey normans on thursday, they're after selling a few games early like batman arkham asylum. i think it does differ from each store but thats where ill be trying on thursday

Last year it broke thursday everywhere I would expect the same this year I hope!!!

Hoping for the best. I work in a game shop and I just keep thinking "we could be that store!". Apparently not though. Will be keeping an eager eye out!

i got it in waterford but i think it depends on the store some might have it and others wont

Has any one had any luck today in getting Fifa early

consultech

Tesco have been known to jump the gun; especially if you know someone working there. In my experience they seem to have a "what's the big deal" attitude to sellin somethin a day or two early.

You might have a bit more luck asking on the Pro Evo & FIFA forum.

I was in GAME today - they said they'll only release it on Thursday if GameStop (example) do likewise, however won't go by hear-say or word-of-mouth from anyone calling into them, they'll actually send a staff member go wherever is selling it early, to see if they can buy a copy themselves.

i got mine yesterday. my employer got our stock yesterday and i took the game home,but have to pay for it friday. irish leaderboards have 50+ people on it so people are getting their hands on it.

Time to go scouting the shops tomorow lol

Well lads, anyone spotted it out in the wild yet?

I will go check blanch this morning - down there there is Smyths, HMV, Game, Gamestop, Argos & Xtravision so maybe one of them will be selling it early and the rest will follow suit.

Sweet.I have it pre-ordered so that might make them more likely to give it to me:D

lilywhitearmy

Soby

Not coming out in Portlaoise til Tomorrow according to Gamestop down here.

How Soon Is Now

Just rang Game and Xtra Game in the Square Talla not out till Friday ****ers !! Add HMV in Square to that list to bloody hell lol And Smyths.

Exclamation Marc

Rang Gamestop in Dun Laoghaire, the guy said it will probably be released tonight after 6pm as they have to wait from an order from head office, and that release dates are being more strictly kept this year, so as it's down for release tomorrow, they have to stick to that until at least 6.

I'd check smyths talaght again they have broken it apparently so I hear may not be true but I'm in work so can't check

Rang Gamestop on Liffey St, they said to ring back in an hour to because they're checking to see if anyone has broken the release date embargo, they say once someone does they'll sell it, if not they won't.

Irishcrx

My girlfriend is in work at 3 in gamestop, I asked her to find out what the craic is and if anyone can get it today and if so what time, when she tells me i'll post on here and let you all know..

Aint been in that part the square in while so never saw it. I hate knowing some people have it in Dublin and all shops near me cant be arsed selling it cause they could if they wanted they seem to break dates when suits them.

Rafloution

Why dont they just break it and blame it on each other thats what they do anyway...no one knows ever who breaks it first....doesnt make sense.
