I have not called them but the people I know that have said they indicate they won't get it early. However, they said that to me the last 2 years, right up until when I called and they said they had it and was selling it early.

I did talk to another shop here another OSer told me about and he said he planned to sell his copies as soon as they came in. However, he said he was having difficulty finding any distributor willing to sell it to him early. He said most say they won't even ship until July 12th so he'd get them on July 13th.

This place I speak of is about 2 miles from my house so I've been down there twice. I believe the guy is telling the truth about the distributors. This worries me a bit to be honest because if EA is putting pressure on the distributors to not ship to non-chain stores until July 12th then the moms and pops store early release each year could be a thing of the past.

I'm going to check again with him and the west side place on Thursday.
