I just get IL2 Birds of Prey

Title says it all. Even though IL2 sturmovik birds of prey is not out till September 8th, i got it today at my local gamestop. If you don't believe me look at my gamer profile. I just beat the campaign, in about 5 hours or so. Am i just lucky, or is my gamestop just dumb?

No we don't. Not released in Aus/NZ yet.

Well i live in the states. And every site i looked at says Sept 8th. I even went as far as calling a different gamestop and asking if it's out, and they have no idea who i got a copy.

Actually, it came out Sept. 2nd two days ago in the US.

The official date was September 8th, but a lot of stores had it early. This allowed many of us to get our copy before the official release date.

Actually your just plain dumb. Gamestop.com had a Sept 2 release date over a week before the game came out. I got a call from Gamestop on Wednesday telling the game would be in on Thursday.

Gamestop.com is the only source you should use for release dates. They will lots of times get release date changes before anybody else will because the majority of early game sales comes from Gamestop, and publishers always make sure to keep them info because of that. Gamestop is the only source you should use for release dates.

Anyway I am still on the fence about getting this game. I preordered it but didn't pick it up. I will probably just rent it or something. I dont think I want to waste $50 on it as I doubt it will give much replay value.

mistaken yes, dumb no...

Dumb would be endlessly going on about how you are not going to buy a game on a forum mainly visited by people with the game or with an intention to buy the game....or preordering a game and then not buying it...or going on the previously mentioned type of forum and going on about another release that, frankly, is a game for pre-teens...or banging on about how poor the game's sales will be without actually having a clue what one is actually talking about...
