I seriously hope not,I can barely wait a week now,and people get a early copy,some will start recording playthroughs and posting on youtube before the actual release,from my point of view,that would be quite bad.
Well the release is really soon so its highly likely that retail stores already have it in stock, and sometimes some stupid employee puts them on the shelf accidentally and someone buys it.
EDIT:
Its no biggie though since the game uses Steamworks. Even if you get the game early you cannot play it untill Steam unlocks it.
Damn,I forgot about it,guess he will have to wait for it just as any of us
