I really hate being out of the loop. But apparently I haven't been to a 7-11 in awhile because they are now selling video games and they seem to disregard street dates: http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/...e-games-early/
While 7-11's in Japan have been selling video games for year, this is fairly new here I would suspect. Now that I think about it, the last time I was in a 7-11 was in 2004 to get a limited edition Halo 2 slurpee cup. Small world
