I silently said a prayer to Jesus last night telling him I just couldn't wait two more weeks for BoP.

I really don't preorder or follow a games release that often...

Does anyone know if this might be an error?

If it is an error, then it's a great error if it become reality? Changing my calendar in a couple hours Just incase it is an error?

I used to work at Gamestop.

When something ships without a street date. (To my knowledge there is no street date for IL2)

That means that the stores typically get it the next day. So expect for the stores to have it on the 3rd, (Thursday).

It's weird though, most games always ship on a Monday and it hits shelves on a Tuesday. I hope this isn't some kind of mistake.

I'm going to go check on the 2nd just in case they get it a tad early.

By the way, I went by my local Gamestop and double checked with the store manager that the ship date has indeed changed, instead of being a mistake on their website.

She confirms that her computers also hold the Sept. 2nd release date.

Ha, i love how wishful thinking makes people take one piece of info that contradicts with all other info as gospel.

Good luck i hope it does ship on the 2nd, but i think it's unlikely. I'll cross my fingers for you though!

ship date does not = date stores get the game

Actually for some parts of the country it does. It just depends on where you live. Some parts of the country get their games on the ship date. Sadly the rest of us have to wait until the next day including me.

The Gamestops where I live don't get games til the morning after the ship date.

Anywaythis is very, very shocking. It is very, very rare for a game that is only 2 weeks from release to get bumped up a week(or in this case 6 days)

This 100% legit though. The only way Gamestop moves a game this close to release is if the Publisher told them to.

BOP now is coming out 3 weeks before Heroes Over Europe which gives it even a huge advantage. As long as it gets decent reviews I will be getting BOP.

Of course with the game being moved up 6 days at the very last minute it might make it hard for the reviews to get out in time.

Anyway if you preorder at Gamestop you will get a automated call telling you when the game will arrive at your Gamestop.

Really you should know weather or not the Gamestops in your area get games on the ship date or not. Some parts of the country get games on the ship date, and some do not.

I hope this is true. I'll be at the store 9/2 for sure.
