    Yea. It's been in stores since late last week. Some are holding the titles till tomorrow. Fewer actually sold copies before the official release date.

    It happens, though. Sometimes people will get the game on the ship date. It makes sense when you think about it. If UPS is delivering the games to GameStop then why wouldn't they deliver it to you too?

      I guess we'll see...In the meantime, try to figure this out:

      http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw...MLB+Power+Pros

      They're clearly listing the release date as Oct. 1, but also saying it's not in stock until Oct. 4. When I ordered, 2k and everyone else was still calling for an Oct. 1 release.

      I still think a Thursday release makes no sense at all, and that's why I'm thinking there's a chance this thing ships today.

        Hmm, no clue.

        But like you said, a Thursday release seems silly. Games release on Tuesdays so it should be in stores Tuesday.

          I hope so man. I'm about to lose my mind waiting for this game, plus I must've watched the various videos like 50 times each. I picked up the new Zelda on the DS, just to tide me over.

              Are you sure you're not talking about NBA 2k8? I think MLB PP still has yet to ship.

                  I am pretty sure that is based on the previous ship date, which was a day or two earlier.

                    Well, I'm fairly sure it isn't coming tomorrow as I haven't recieved the shipping notification yet. From my prior experiences with Amazon, they usually send those out around midday.

                    I'll let you guys know if it does ship, but for now just assume I'll be getting it on Thursday like the rest of you...

                      Gotta read our whole conversation. I was talking about NBA 2k8.

                          Here is some pics from last year game released only in Japan







                          Pennant celebration on the right




                          To those who were wondering about HR celebration its in the game. However, the HR dramatic camera shift looks like the most you'll probably get if there is no specific celebration like the astros train and shea apple





                          Pics for this year

                              I'm still baffled by the probable Thursday release date.

                              My only problem with that really are that I am working both Wed. and Thursday nights until 8:30.
