Australians - Fable II Street Date Broken #1

So I was at my local K-Mart and noticed they were selling the game, now it's due out next Thursday so something was definitely up.

I asked them if they were selling it and they were like "Err Yeah they came in today".

Anyone who wants to game early should prpobably wait a few hours and call around, it might be available to buy tonight, if what I know about street dates is correct (once someone breaks it, can't everyone sell it? My only experience with street dates is the whole Mass Effect debacle that happened last year)

Of course not. We're too busy in the outback, beating up kangaroos with our boomerangs, fighting crocs and looking for dingoes.

Any chance of LBP breaking the street date? Since that's due on the same day as Fable II.

Because having something early is not typical of a PALer.

Was there today, didnt see nothin............. everyone seem to be advertising all the multi platform games for the 360 in the "Coming Soon" thing, but in the PS3 section only exclusives an 1 or 2 multi plats........ must be cause theres not much for 360 this year or something.

Spoke to someone at GAME and they said that K-Mart got fined depending on how many copies they got and that they will receive Gears a week late.

Apparently, one guy went in and bought 17 copies

So do people actually shop at K-Mart in Australia? Or is it like in the US where an abandoned building would probably get more customers.

If you like shopping while 5000 screaming babies swarm the isles, their fat ice cream in mouth stuffing mothers shouting at them and trying to get the crease of their spandex pants out of their giant cavernous ass cracks. Then sure.

Personally I try and avoid the store.

I think I'll try to hit another store tomorrow after work. There's a good chance Tasmania's just being lazy as all shit like always.

... or I guess I'll phone them first.
