We used to bust stores left and right for breaking street date, if only for the satisfaction of seeing Wal-Mart fined $5,000 a pop for the 6 DVDs we bought and then seeing the reports in the weekly film magazines the store got of how Blockbuster couldn't get certain movies until after street date because of something we took part in.
Now it's just a budding curiosity of how many places do this even though they know there's semi-serious repercussions if they get caught.
I haven't busted anyone for it since I quit Suncoast, and the pigfucker remark was a bit harsh on my behalf (Also remnants of my video store days. I was so loyal to the company that certain things still piss me off sometimes. Like breaking street date.). I take that part back. I still want to know where you guys are finding these, though, because I kind of want one.

My two friends bought the only copies at EB, and I wasn't about to pay 10 bucks more at Record Town.
