Post: Getting games early. In store not online

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So, has anyone actually tried this?

What you do is go to a store which usually sells newly released games (Walmart or ASDA those kind of stores depending where you are from). Then go to the checkout and say "I cannot find this game on the shelf (use MW3 for example) I heard it came out today, it's called call of duty Modern Warfare 3 could you check in the back to see if it's there?". Then they will go look around and find it for you.

I tried it with Black ops and Fallout New Vegas last year. New Vegas was the only successful one, maybe because i was too impatient with black ops and going like 10 days early haha also it worked in Toys 'R' Us (I live in UK) had to wait for some really old woman to serve me before asking. I'm going to try it with Skyrim this wednesday, wish me luck. Gaspink:

Has anyone else tried this? Were you successful?

P.S. Sorry if I posted in the wrong section.

You're better off trying at a supermarket, ask someone who looks like they don't know much about games. They won't bother to think about it and go get it from the back for you. Gamestop won't do it unless you know someone who works there.

Apparently in Florida in a few stores, the packages for MW3 said "Sell Immediately". They were flying off the shelves.

I have no idea. I'm not getting it, so I haven't bothered to look. I might call up a few places just for fun though.

Chances are low you'll get it, you'll have to ask someone who doesnt know much about games
