    Doubt any of us in Australia have it so far Only way we'll be getting it earlier than tomorrow (Which Isn't too far anymore anyway) was if a store accidentally gave it to someone before release, allowing every other store to give it out, it happened last year at a local 'Game' (which is thus closed now) accidentally gave NBA 2k13 a few days early, the store was fined and every other store in the area was allowed to also give out the game at that date since one store already accidentally gave it out before release.

      As I remember it, a person took a photo of their Target receipt with NBA 2K13 from Melbourne City Target.

        That's correct - got it 1 day early last year. Year before aswell.....

        Be nice to have it early, but there is less urgency this year for me..... I am sure next gen will have me scrambling for receipts from somewhere in the country though.....

        If someone has one today, great! Please come forward....!!

          pretty bummed. I was really hoping it would drop. seems silly to make us wait 2 whole days.

            Yeah, what is the reason for that? Its in stores physically and a bunch of other countries have a release date of 01/10/13.

            Seriously, I would like to know the reason for it.....and I would be surprised if I agree with it! Haha

              If I had to guess, it would be something do with the servers. Maybe controlling traffic on the servers at release.

              If it isn't anything like that and ends up being something completely obscure, then I'll be mad.

                Nah, just going to wait until NG, especially when I'm already deep into a 2k13 Association.

                Out of curiosity, how much is CG likely to be in most retail stores? $80? $100?

                  I think it's $79 at JB.

                    True. I work at JB and it is $79 on PS3 and X360. $69 on PC.

                      I don't suppose you've heard anything about it being released early anywhere?

                          Not getting it. Waiting for it on PS4.
                          I've seen enough gameplay vids to convince me that current gen is basically a patched-up version of 2K13 (Next-gen will probably be similar but I guess the graphics will compensate for that).

                          As for previous years, the street date was usually broken a day or two earlier. I'm guessing demand won't be as high this year but that's just my theory :P

                            One of my friends works at EB Games and I asked him about why we get it 2 days later compared to the 1/10/2013 release date, basically everywhere else but here I feel like it is :P, but he's got no clue either, must want Americans to have it first or something who knows, at least it's not that far till tomorrow anywhere where all us living in Australia can get our hands on 2k14 :P
