Do you think activision would risk making the distributors ship a day before release. They've spent thousands of dollars advertising the date 09.11.10
They need time too accommodate problems that might arise with the distributors which may make them ship late. + the Stores need time too stocks the shelves , post to people.
This would make it literally impossible for interet based companys too post the game too customers ontime.
Here's a quote from my sales rep before you call "BS":
"Activision just recently informed us that we will not be receiving Call of Duty: Black Ops before Monday, November 8. I will not be able to ship out copies to arrive before street date (Tuesday, November 9). They have decided to not allow
any Distributors to get it before then due to the amount of street date violations with Modern Warfare 2."
Activision doesn't care about small businesses and how fast they can stock their shelves or update their websites.
Only large retailers like Best Buy, Gamestop, Amazon, etc who have their own distribution hubs will get the game early because that's where Activision's money comes from.
