Anyway, go check your local Wal-Marts and see if they've got it in too.

What are the consequences of breaking the street date? Does Nintendo or [insert company here] threaten legal action against [retailer]? Does management fire the clerk who sold it?
I'm a little cheesed that people are getting it early, I pre-orderded because I know people would eat this one up in a jiffy! Guess I lost out and have to wait till the release date hmmm?

A question for anyone that does have the game: I don't know if they have included e-reader support over here in Blighty (there's no mention of it anywhere). I've only played it for about 20mins so far, but I haven't found any option for the e-reader, is there one in your game? If so, where? So I can check, please say they have included it!!!

Notice I said, "can decide." Nintendo would obviously rather sue than pull their product...

Just called my local Gamestop earlier in the day and they said it was ready to sell. I show up, (Was a little late for work but for Mario? Its worth it...) the manager himself sold me a copy, saying "Other retailers broke the street date and we followed suit. But we NEVER break the street date first..."
I managed to beat the first world on the bus ride back. Pity I may never put my e-reader cards to good use...(Lest I beg Gamestop to try out a seperate GBA with a e-reader...)
