Wal-Mart Defies the Sanctity Of Street Dates and Sells Fallout 3 Early



Everyone loves broken street dates, I mean, it’s a chance to play (and if you’re a sadist, spoil) any game before it’s official release, and happens about fifty times a week.

Lets be honest, no one sees this with any apprehension whatsoever, and everybody would get pretty happy if they got a change to play Barbie as the Island Princess early. That being said, Wal-Mart is the king of broken street dates, presumptuously due to apathetic seniors working the electronics sections, and it should come as a surprise to no one that Wal-Mart is now stocking Fallout 3. ¡Sorpresa!

For those of you in Mississippi, you might want to run down to your nearest Wal-Mart and try to pick up Fallout 3 (and check out our hands-on preview of the game as well!) Tell us in the comments if you have any success!

    Why is that game not behind a case? Seriously…

    Don’t feel bad Ryu, I’ve never had it happen either. I think it all takes place in some strange alternate universe.

    It IS behind a case, haven’t you been inside a wal-mart before?

    I once walked inside a Target to find a broken street date copy of Two Worlds, but when I opened it, it was just a block of rotten cheese. Definitely a step up, though.

    @Bill: I just noticed the black railing thing, and yes I’ve been in a Wal Mart before seeing as that’s the only thing we have in my town.
