Friday is the usual release day for the UK. This hails back to the early days when games literally shipped as and when they were produced. One of the biggest game retailers in the 80s (Dixon's) decided they wanted confirmed dates for games so they could include them in their weekend brochures. As these were distributed in the weekend papers the games needed to be in stock and so Friday became the new game drop day for the UK.

You often gamesheld back from the UK digitalstores until Friday too becauseof this even if already released in mainland Europe.

I had no idea about this, and that's really interesting.  Thanks!

A bit of sauce for you :)
