I dont get why they have strict release dates, if they get stock early why not let the shop sell it and make money and the consumer have their game to play.

The street date should be that the shops will have the game in stock no later.

 

Because it's unfair to other stores. If everyone buys it at one store because they got it early then another store will lose sales and maybe they'll get mad and no longer keep their games in stock.

The store's still have limited stock, so they cannot take all the business away.

 

If you go to a shop and they have a game you realy want in stock, but they wont sell it to for another 3 days etc, that shit sucks.

 

They should just have free for all, first in best dressed. It would be a advantage to smaller business that are not slowed down by large supply chains, like major department store.
