You really think publishers decide on release dates before they announce the game?

btw, how much does NZ$115 translate to, it sounds really expensive.


No but leaks from Sony indicate a September release date, so this retailer suggesting a date in September matches the leaked info we currently have. Also retailers often have release dates for software prior to when the dates are officially announced, they get given a window or time frame that the release date will likely be around and the retailer guesses from their setting a release date on their site. The dates change when the publisher finalizes the release info but at times the dates have been spot on, usually the dates aren't to far off.

All game retailers reveal release information before it is formally announced. The info while subject to change does suggest around what time to expect the game!

Well I haven't read the entire OP properly, but from what I understand the game itself is not yet officially announced, I understand that retailers will often get release dates before the official release date is announced, but that is not what I meant. If all we have at the moment are rumours of it being in development then no one will have decided on a release date.

I think it more likely the store itself added the date because of earlier GoW rumours, and depending on what kind of database system the store (or chain) uses may have forced, or indicated that the 28th be the date (Sept 28th is a Sunday, is that the normal game release day in NZ? alternatively the system may be that they picked the last full week in September)
