I used to work at a video store.

I call BULLSH!T.

Unreleased games are kept under lock and key of a manager.

Video stores are threatened by law if they sell a game before release date.

I've seen managers carted off to jail from trying to sneak a copy of Halo 2 out before release date.

I know that some slip through the cracks, you are a troll, now Please continue, my good sir. and GTFO

You can't really say this, as there are several cases of people owning the game already and posting videos on youtube. Unless you know him personally, you should probably keep accusations to yourself and just ignore him if you don't beleive him.

Have to agree - Also got people in game stores/stations etc, And they all says the same thing.

You would actually have to plan a robbery just to get a copy off the shipment load - As its ALL under security and supervision of cameras etc.

Not only that but they are then kept behind LOCK & KEY!

Anyone who has managed to get there copy from a game store- Has either stole it, bribed a manager for it, or there manager is in on it and wants a copy too!.

Even then - The chances taken just to sneak a copy of the game out and possibly cause yourself a heavy fine - job dismissal and possible jail time for theft, All for the sake of getting the game 3days early?

I smell bs.

I think a lot of the footage cropping up will probably be downloaded off torrents or the like because I've noticed both the PS3 and 360 pop up over night.

99% of YouTube videos posted before a game's release (like Brink) is due to playtesters outside of the company.

Most of the videos on YouTube were being made before physical retail versions of the game were even printed to media.

You like talking in absolutes, I keep saying that some fall through the cracks.


Here are the FACTS of this Original Poster:

1. No pictures posted.
2. No video links posted.
3. Admitting to breaking the law
4. Some BS story about how he got a pre-release and no evidence to back it up.


I punch that into my calculator and its screams BULLSH!T

Not saying this guy for sure has it, he might aswell just be bragging for all we know til he comes with some proof

But we have seen videos, and they were taken down pretty fast - and yeah.. I know, someone might slip out a copy here and there for the extra cash in the pocket, but all I'm saying is that there are videos coming/out there that is of the real game

lol +1 again...

I hate taking sides on a forum - Cause you then get others who want to deliberately come out and "challenege" you - And im all for a good challenge.

But noone here is going to be able to say anything thats gonna fault the facts here.

Hes broke the law. - Plain and simple "Unless theres some law in certain states im unaware off that allows gamer committees/employees free grant passes to early access of games" Thus which - I have not heard of Brink having one.

He has no evidence to back it up - Lets face it guys, if YOUR girlfriend had just managed to get you a copy of brink - And you had it in your hands....You wouldnt take a pic? "but maybe he has no camera" - His gf doesnt have a mobile with a cam on it?

"But maybe hes too excited and just wants too play" - And taking 30seconds to upload a pic is too much?

Hes came on the forum and posted something out of pure spite and selfishness - Like rubbing your reward in the face of others who do without.

But no proof to back it up! - Maybe in time he will post a pic, if so, Then good on him!.

Still doesnt excuse the fact that - Laws have been broken! All for the sake of 3 measly days.

What makes it stranger is the "Not to late to cancel pre orders" - Where the f did this statement come from? And why?

Why would anyone say something like that straight after stating "Hey i have the game weve all been waiting years for! But hey! Isnt too late to cancel yours!!"

Seems very very odd too me.

I can add a separate picture of the box if you need it.
All y'all need to calm yourselves.

Btw, I only read the first 2-3 responses.
I wanna play.
So sorry if I missed a question.

I'll be sure to post a "SPOILER ALERT" if I think I may spoil something.

I want to see a single picture that shows the box, disc, a sheet of paper with your forum tag, and your ugly mug as proof, not pictures of a screen that are in terrible resolution.
