It was inevitable for retailers to break the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 street date, but video game retail giant GameStop breaking street dates? Now that’s interesting. VP for Corporate Communications, Chris Olivera left the following statement with Kotaku on Sunday evening to confirm it:
This past weekend, GameStop made the decision to break street date and sell reserved copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in select markets where other retailers had broken street date. Our decision followed many conversations with Activision and was an effort to protect our customer base.
Activision told Kotaku they did not give GameStop permission to break the November 10th street date:
“Activision has not given any retailer permission to sell Modern Warfare 2 prior to the Nov. 10 street date. The company fully supports the Nov. 10 street date.”
What can you do right?
