Its not really getting them early, Your places like Best buy or Gamestop may get the shipment 3 or 4 days ahead. They just cant break streetdate. You start scanning the bar code and the system will flag it saying no sale.......Mom and pops can sometimes break street date because they are mom and pops its easier to get away with it..sometimes.

This, my friend works at Best Buy and they had like GTA nearly a week before release. Mom and Pops stores only chance of competing with the big companies is selling them the second they get it.

It was one of the Halo games and on the front it had a big sticker, "Do not sell before _____". It was sold before that date

All stores get games a few days ahead of release date. Smaller stores might sell it earlier because the repurcusions aren't as big. If a big chain releases it early they're gonna get a lot of flac from the game companies that's why they won't sell it early.

I don't even get why you need the game already. The actual NBA season starts October 29. More than a month away.


Why would you want to play Association/MyPlayer/... early when the rosters aren't updated yet.

You don't know what the starting line ups will be from some teams, you don't know who will get cut (Lakers), you don't know which rookie will play a lot or not or will beast from the start of the season -> rating upgrade.



NBA games are only fun when the season has started.

I have a couple of spots in New York that I'm gonna check out tomorrow. I'll keep everyone posted. I doubt I'm going to buy the game for current gen but If one of my places has it then I'll inform you guys.

I disagree. I think 2K is possibly the most fun before the season has started. It gets me super pumped for the season, seeing all these what-could-be kind of scenarios.

Like, I'm going to tear it up with Bynum on the Cavs before his ratings plummet for not playing at all.

Better question: Why do you care that this guy wants it when he does?
