    Surely a trip to the cinema would be the difference between the tesco deal and the normal price anyway....

    Hopefully Tesco have it for €35. I've a feeling they will.

    Tesco closest to me is open 24hrs so i'd assume it'd be available from midnight thursday

    Xtravision are sneaky hoors!
    Stone walled me until the local gamestop closed last year then blitzed a sale from seven pm on the day before official release date!
    Great sales stuff but maybe gamestop might get the jump similar this year

    Why don't shops break release dates?

    I've read loads of peoples opinions on this (so im not looking for speculation) and I'm not asking the question in the "oh what b@stards, they have the game, why cant they sell it to me" way. I just mean, whats the implications on a retailer breaking the release date? Fines, sanctions, future stock implications? Anyone have any proof on what the result is if a shop sells it earlier than the release date?

    Possibly all of the above. Some distributors and stores sign bonds that mean financial penalties if they break release date. Stock implications are a definite. If we were to sell Fifa 11 early you could be guaranteed that next EA title up we would not be able to get stock until release day itself which is pointless for us obviously. :)
