Nothing yet that I've heard, though next weekend could be a different story.

Little early to find it. I would bet next Thursday-Friday, people start finding it, or at least seriously start looking.

Yeah that's true, was just wondering if anyone happened to find it anywhere. I'll begin my annual searching soon

Where I live we only have big stores, Wal Mart, Gamestop, Best Buy. That kind of thing. So I never really try to look. Someone did post on here a few days ago, saying he had the game. His Gamertag even showed that he played it.

He vanished though, so who knows. He is probably playing the game, and completely forgot about proving he had it. HAHA.

Yeah that's the same thing with me, only have the big chain stores around. None of them seem to bite with giving it out early :P.

Haha yeah I've seen people playing it today. I think today is when the people from the community event/forum mods got their retail copies. From what I have seen at least, don't quote me on that though haha.

Damn you lucky North Americans! I think us Europeans have to wait until the 16th :/

I know from experience, that game companies SOMETIMES release a game early if it falls on a holiday weekend. One year, I was able to pick up a game on Sunday instead of Tuesday. Would be a nice thing if they did that. The stores usually get the games that weekend.

Hopefully they do! Do they usually let you know before hand if they do it, if you have a reserved copy? Since they usually call the night before the game comes out.

Re: NHL 11 Out Early?

I got a phone call (the usual auto call from Gamestop) telling me the game would be out that Sunday. Maybe they'll do that this year, but who knows.

17th for me...

I've pre-ordered the 360 and PS3 version from two different places in the hope one turns up early. If there is a bright side to our extended European waiting period, then it's any glaring issues have time to be patched before we get our copies.

I was reading on the EA forums that the people who attended the Community Day event got an advanced copy, but that's all I know about it.

Yeah I heard and saw some of them playing it on my friends list. Oh well, I guess I have to be jealous until the 7th

For everyone in the Greater Toronto Area and everyone who has PM'ed me, I called the guy I deal with who's hooked up myself and many others on here with games early and he said he should have it Thursday, Friday at the latest. Please, PLEASE don't call until I give you guys the go ahead. You will only ruin your own chances of getting it early, because he said he will cut things off if you call before he tells me its ok to do so.

But getting this early is looking very very good. He did say that his distributor had Madden a week before release and didn't release them to him till a day before release so there's an outside chance this could happen again but he said its unlikely. Again, I beg of you that have the guy's number and the code words, DON'T call till I say on here it's ok. Thank you.
