14-15 days is a big difference. Walmart is a serious company, but hey, I just posted this just to show people different things and not to believe everything you hear.

Believe Frankie, I mean if it were to come out early at all I'd believe the Aug 24 thing before Walmart getting it 2 weeks in advance.

^^ "Preorder this item today and it should ship on 10/26/2004"

I think Walmart needs to get its head out of it's -Blam!-.

Lol or it takes along time for them to ship it.

Wal-Mart has become quite infamous in regards to early sales of games over the past few years; which to be honest, is the least of its crimes, but that's another story. Games are given street dates which specify when the game can legally be sold (contrary to common belief, retailers do not receive the shipment the same day it is to be sold). Wal-Mart has developed a tendency to omit the publisher’s street date and sell whenever they see fit. First example that comes to mind is Warcraft III a few years back, where it was sold almost a week before its legal street date.

Will Wal-Mart continue to write their own laws? Who knows. Though I do hope that if they release Halo 2 prior to its legal sales date that Bungie takes them to court. Who better to put an end to the tyranny of Wal-Mart than Bungie?

Edit: Yay Bungie. Nay Wal-Mart.
