I'm not certain, but I'm certain it's like this. That's certain.
1. No. The site will probably not track those sales. VGChartz is getting info from stores, and stores are not going to report that they have broken the publisher's trust and admit that they have broken the release date.
2. I believe ioi will, but this is guesswork. If he didn't track the sales, he would have the wrong sales for the official release, as that would increase several weeks of sales.
3. I believe the stores report in when they sell it, so I can't see the problem here.
4. Probably week ending 24th October 2008.

Incorrect. Assuming these people who have early copies of the game have bought that early copy from a retailer, Sony is TAKING BACK all discs. What does that mean? If store 'x' was sent 30 copies, and they return 28, they're being fined for about $10,000 or so for selling the game early. All of these retailers who sold the game early, you would assume to friends, are going to ask for the game back. Otherwise, there are a lot of the 'in crowd' who can get these things early that will never get them early again. And the disc will be accounted for my Sony.
I returned the copy I had early because I have a good relationship with GameStop here. If they suffer fines, I suffer by not getting every game I pre-order before it's release. I won't get any...and I won't be able to 'borrow' games from them either, like I do. LBP is good, but no game is good enough to ruin the relationship I have with GameStop.

Ahh, okay. Sorry, my bad. Thanks for telling.
