7-Eleven a great place to buy big name games early

gamepro.com | November 12 2008

Shh! Don't let this secret out of the bag: 7-Eleven is an incredible place to buy big games before their street dates.


The video above is clear evidence that the idea of a "street date," or that point in time when a video game publisher demands retailers hold games for their official launch, is not exactly heeded by your local 7-Eleven.

Case in point, last week 7-Eleven was wantonly peddling Gears of War 2 before its official Friday release date. This week it's World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

Unlike GoW2, however, there's not a world to explore for these fellas just yet, as Blizzard hasn't turned on the new servers for the expansion. They still have bragging rights though, and 7-Eleven could have a flood of new customers whenever the next big budget title hits their store shelves a week before it's supposed to.
