We will more likely have better luck after the weekend. Best to start trying again on Monday or Tuesday.

Considering Nintendo is fining people 2k monies for each copy they find sold, and from a retail standpoint, they can easily find that info out, companies are making sure they don't sell the games out early.

In Australia it's a $100,000 fine for the company and a $50,000 for any employee that sells a copy.

Adelaide-bro here, should get it by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. I know a store that gets games early and sells them before the release date.

I doubt they will break street date, they haven't done it for a Pokemon game in recent memory. Luckily this store won't get in trouble because they import their games via other distribution sites. I've gotten a few high demand Nintendo games through them quite early.

Try Shin Tokyo, it's an anime store that tends to get games in quite early. I got Skyward Sword 5 days early from them.

Depends on the type of store. If they order their games through Nintendo, yes it's a fine. If they order their games through third parties, they can't be at fault. That's how stores like Gametraders get away with it.

>Calling all Ausfags who have yet to preorder!
I work at EB Games in Melbourne and as others have said, stock will be in on the 10th BUT we're under extremely strict orders to give out none before the 12th
>loophole to price
EB is a rip off, I admit that but with pricematch X/Y is only $49 instead of $60 because we are matching Target if you mention it, just a tip

Adelaidefag here,

Thanks to those attempts made yesterday, I'm no longer able to get an early copy through my mate's gf-- which aren't in stock yet. If anyone is planning to shop more fake recipts to bamboozle EB, make sure they're good; the employees were having a good laugh about it when I picked up some other games today.
