I was never the type of person that going to wait overnight on a line for a game etc. Therefore back when buying a game required going to the store I got games a day or two after release on occasion but I don't think I ever bother going to a store to get it on the exact day it came out. I think my first game I pre-ordered was FF7 (store holds a copy for you on release for up to a week if you gave them $10 that went toward purchases of game so you only lost it if you never claimed your copy I think was the deal). I think my parents did not manage to get me to the store (was to young to drive) about 3 days after release.
First game I played/payed for fully on release day was probably Half-Life 2 since it was first game I could purchase online on release data that I wanted.
