I'm talking about before the scheduled release date. It's rare to even be able to do it. I was in a Sam's Club and they had Halo CE: Anniversary on the shelves. This was November 13th on a sunday. So I walked up to the cash register... bought no problem. Got home and played it(offline of course.. not getting banned because of that shit).
So anyone else?

I got Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2 early - both were released only a few weeks apart too. I was made up at the time, and had finished the Gears campaign for the game even came out. I remember there were only like 25 of us playing multiplayer, levelling up. We all got accused of hacking becuas of the level we had by release date. Ah...good times.
