        But do it this week they said the trade prices would be dropping soon.

        I traded in MLB '08 at Future Shop and got $22.80 a couple of weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised because the yearly sports titles generally lose their value fairly quickly.

          You and I are thinking of the same place, and I have already confirmed they won't be selling this one early...

              Nope. You got lucky, and it was clearly a mistake. Amazon does not break street dates. At least not on purpose.
              It's only a video game.

                    to theotherguy... got rid of metal gear since I got bored of it, and got my $ back while I can before it goes down in price..same with the other titles, might as well maximize return while I can.

                        I can easily wait (last year was the ONLY time I've ever gotten a game early, and it was completely by chance), but when I walk into a walmart and they have it up in the glass case with the price under it ready to be sold, and are dumb enough to actually sell it a week early, then a different question comes to mind... two actually:

                        "Why WOULD I wait if it's being sold a week early?"

                        AND

                        "Why weren't these employees smart enough to read and see the game isn't supposed to be sold for another week?"

                          went to gamestop today and also got the confirmation on the shiping date of February 23rd, its just ridiculous that MLB makes rules like this to make us wait til March 3rd... I will try to find a ma and pa store but they are also hard to find in Southeastern Wisconsin... Boo MLB for making us wait til the 3rd and to SCEA for making a great game. If anyone in here knows where to get it early in SE WI, PM me and let me know. To all the OS members, happy hunting and good luck

                            EVERYTHING ships early like that. Games, Music, Movies, etc. We used to get EVERYTHING as much as two weeks in advance. That's how it works. Don't be angry at the MLB. Rule or not, the game would still ship early. If there wasn't a rule and SCEA decided to street date the game on February 23, then it would have shipped February 10 (just as an example). If it would street February 5, it would ship January 20 (example). Why do people not understand this? Stores receive things well in advance for a variety of reasons, and they have no obligation to sell it to you as soon as they get it.

                              Most games actually don't ship early. There are street dated games that will ship a few days before the release date (This is usually reserved for major releases) and then there are most games which are just shipped out to retailers to put on the shelves right away.

                                I've gone to gamestop on numerous occassions looking for a title on the day its supposed to be in stores, and numerous times I have to wait for a UPS delivery guy who has them. Anyone else experience this??
