...are the Wii games just not that important to the stores.  Does someone know if Walmart is participating in the midnight release? There's a 24 hour one close by.

I'm not sure, Bantha. I've heard so many different stories, I don't know what's right. I'll post what I know, anyway:
- 23rd is the shipping date, not release date. 24th is when it hits the shelves.
- 23rd is the shipping date, but GameStop may have it on shelves by 3-5 PM local time.
- Will be released at 12:00 AM on the 24th.
Those are the most probable. I'm hoping the second one is true.

What's confusing is when I did a search. Walamart had it as AVAILABLE: online only (not available in stores) It has had that status for the past week I think. Made me wonder if they had it already. (They have been known to violate release dates in the past) Well, thanks Turbo! MUM, make sure you let us know what you find out from Gamestop!

It's a little strange either way. I just looked up when US games usually are released. I thought it was tuesday (which would be 23rd), but it seems US normal release is actually sunday - buy monday obviously. So it is strange you're getting it tuesday/wednesday. Especially since the european release is sticking to the normal friday release...

The US got CoD:WaW on 11/11/08, which was a Tuesday. I remember picking it up on that day.

Me too, I tried to get it at Walmart at midnight (I was told earlier they were in) but came home empty handed

OK, I called my gamestop. He said it gets shipped to the stores on the 23 and on the shelves the 24. I told him there were rumors Walmart would have it sooner. He is emailing his management to find out. I'm calling him back later today and I'll let you know what they say.
