Someone on my PSN list playing Uncharted 3 O___o

i've noticed that Dutch players seem to get PS3 games early. All my Dutch friends were playing Battlefield 3 a few days before it came out and these same friends have done this with several games in the past; Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Modern warfare 2, Fallout 3 are all games ive seen them playing before release date.
All i can think of is the retailers must be alot more relaxed about giving games out earlier than they should.
Im completely expecting to see them playing Skyrim a couple of days before it comes out.
It's a good thing though because i can ask them how the game is and get a real gamers views on it.
