Bioshock Official Street Date Officially Not Broken
mistermatthew | 1:19 PM on 08.15.2007 11 comments


Rapture itself seemed to take over the interwebs when a few people reported getting a copy of Bioshock for the XBOX 360 a week ahead of schedule. The guys over at Gamernode have talked to 2K's PR and are reporting that it was an oversight on behalf of Toys R US employees and 2K will be sticking to the street date of August 21st.

Damn. I already went to GameStop looking for it, just in case. Obviously, it wasn't there.

FALSE, you fail.

Street date WAS broken cause people have been buying it for two days now. They are just correcting the problem...doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

An unidentified Dtoider bought it 20 minutes ago. I spoke to him as he was buying it.

Toys R Us stores have received e-mails to pull it off the shelves. There's little to no chance at this point of getting one.

Well I just got back from Best Buy, Circuit City, and GameStop.

No game. PLUS the Gamestop employee didn't have to be so...condescending...:(

I DO realize that people have been buying it for 2 days, otherwise there wouldn't be any need to post. 2K/Irrational didn't break the street date (note the word "official") rather than some TRU employee prematurely stocking the game, not knowing the street date.

No street date is EVER broken by a developer or producer of any kind. Street dates are broken by RETAILERS which in this case it happened.

So TRU employees sold the game to customers, therefore breaking the street date. C'mon, keep up.

Plus, officially too many officialy words in your title officialy makes me officially laugh.
