You know you could report them right? In fact it'd be hilarious that if everyone that's seen a EB/gamestop thats been selling the game early just report them, I believe its a pretty substantial fine and hey why not screw the guy that will eventually screw you when you want to trade the game in :P

Acorrding to the employee I spoke with the call came from corporate to start selling today.

That would be illegal. You could report the entire corporation.

Down with gamestop!  *goes to find the number to call*

Not sure if the publisher would care about them releasing a game two days early...

Oh wait, this is Activision. Head of GameStop will probably get the chair.

Actually most boxes come with this sticker that says "Street dated, if sold early call __________" and sometimes even have a little tag about an reward for reporting them (usually like 100 bucks)

That's awesome. If 10,000 people reported them, GameStop would be $1 million poorer.

GET CALLING, PEOPLE!

Actually the fine is rather large and the people get the money from the people fining the store IE the publisher, so they'll fine the store like a thousand dollars maybe, and the person that tipped them off will get 100 dollars of that.
