sdd619 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 We are 2 weeks away from the game being released & a lot of the time they make us wait till release date to receive the game, but then we have those off years that stores will break the street date. Now I know we have people on here & will probably answer this, but who thinks they will break the street date this year? I personally think they will break it. The reason why is. They released the creation suit this week. Usually the will wait till next week to release it, but I believe they are so confident in the game they made this year. As they have kept little to no secrets about the game. But that is my thought. What about all of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNoOneM1 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 It probably will as most games do. I remember one of my old local Game rental stores had SvR07 the weekend before it came our and my friend rented it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Stephanie Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 It's rarer to see big-name stores break date, because they can get fined for it if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdd619 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 THQ the last few years were not letting it happen. I think it was WWE 12 they told stores if the broke the street date. Then they will no get games from them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liontamer* Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Well, I will never forget getting WWE '12 a week before it was released everywhere else, and I remember posting about it over here and providing as much info as I could. I got '13 a few days earlier as well. I am seriously hoping I would find 2K16 in a week! I'm in Saudi Arabia, for anyone wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorUltimate Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I got WWE 2K15 5 days before release last year from a local store near me. I hope they get early this year as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's usually somebody from Saudi Arabia who gets the game early and posts it on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nystyle Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Mom and pop shops that used to be around my town always told me they got the games the thurs before release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSS-Out Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Looking forward to the saudi arabian guy or some such who is nice enough to make a video of all the new move animations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Breaking the street? Is that a new variation of the street fight...where weapons are not only welcomed, they're allowed? Anyway, no store can legally break the street date. If they do, they are subject to fines. Will it happen? Probably. It usually happens accidentally. Someone doesn't read a sticker, puts the game out early...some copies get sold before it gets pulled. But it's not legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm sure Brock Lesnar can break the street. I remember there was this one store here downtown that used to do it all the time, but they got shut down a couple years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadmam04 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hear in Australia I've heard stores here have some sort of embargo lock on the cash register preventing sales for games to be released (JB has one) so it's been a lot harder for games to break. Though it doesn't stop smaller stores or online stores who get stock early and get shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Stephanie Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Yeah, some registers have gotten smarter, so to speak. Street Date is programmed into the register or UPC and a message will pop up that says "Do not sell until xx/xx." So stores like Walmart and Gamestop may have that in place, whereas mom and pop stores may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anno Domini. Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've never seen a shop break street date, at least for WWE Games. However, I'm fairly certain my local GAME sells preorder exclusive copies straight on the shelf (which is how I got Ultimate Warrior for 2K14 without preordering), so that's always nice.

Spyke Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Game Express where I worked many years ago in Brooklyn used to break street date all the time. I had every WWE game about a week to a few days from HCTP all the way to Smackdown vs Raw 2010 early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R A T E D. Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I remember WWE'12 came out two days early, WWE'13 I got a night early. Didn't bother with 14 & 15 and won't with 16 either. But it will most likely break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Reminds me of the time I worked at GAME and one of our regulars (who happened to be a trainee wrestler) went to an indy shop nearby and got Smackdown (HCTP if I remember) on the Tuesday, came into the store to tell me he'd got it (waving the copy in the air) and damn near caused a riot of kids thinking we were selling early!! Mind you it seems to me that aside from the odd instance of "early delivery" from Amazon etc, that release dates are generally strictly enforced. Besides, I'm 35 so I've learned to wait.

Those were the days. My first actual proper street break of a game was HCTP as well, played that from 7pm I got home right through to the following day at 7am, it was just that damn good. I'm sure we'll get some videos or photos this week in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_Kincaid Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I hope so. I'm dying to see the new moves. I preordered digitally, so I know I'll be sitting there watching the time click to one A.M my time. I really wish it was midnight local time and not midnight eastern.
