  If that's real, then I think it's safe to say that FW 2.4 is not coming before the game, otherwise it'd be required by the game and we'd hear all about it.
  
  Interesting though on how he/she got it what, 8 days early?

    Who said that the game would require it? It's just been said that they would be released in tandem; it's still possible that it is still the case.

      Well I could be wrong, but my thinking was that if the FW were given before the game launch, due to the game supposedly requiring it (as is the rumor that it was "demanded" before launch), then it'd come with the game so the necessary functions would work. But, I could be wrong, that was just how I was thinking.

  8 days? That isn't much. I wouldn't have posted it all over the internet though. I would have simply kept it to myself until it is legal.

    Why? It isn't like you'd get in trouble for getting the game early >_> The fault lies entirely with the person/place selling it.
    
    You wouldn't get in trouble. Not unless you used a bootleg, anyhow.
    
    Though I do think there was a case with people getting banned from X-Box Live for playing Halo 3 early, or something....Might have been with unreleased (and thusly stolen) betas, or something though....
    
    Anyhow, one of the big reasons to get a game early, is bragging rights >_> Sure, you want to enjoy the game before anyone else, that is a great, solid reason. But you seriously wouldn't want to brag about getting the game before anybody else on Neo or any other site? Or friends in general?

  Lucky's right. I thought having SSBB two days earlier was good for bragging rights, but for him to have it eight days? Likely will beat the game long before we get it. Damn him.

  _{This doesn't bother me in the slightest. Big deal he has it earlier. Soon we will have it too. So nothing big.}

  I don't know why people get so upset about this. It happens to just about every major game release. God of War, Halo, Smash Bros., all broke street date somewhere. So really, this was bound to happen.

    Because we're the ones who don't get an early copy.

  This is different because it's not a one or two day difference...it's a whopping eight days he gets the game before us.

    And the two week break + internet data leak from Smash Bros. is that different?
    
    These days, with high demands of these big games, it's just an inevitability.

      Internet data leak? Huh? :S
      
      Yeah, that's true. Most of these top games will have trouble with solid release dates. It's really for those particular game stores to get more consumers.

        By data leak, I was referring to the ones who ripped the game and posted files online, leading to the find of empty character data for Roy, Mewtwo, Plusle & Minun, etc.
        
        And really, it seems the only way developers can prevent a leak these days is if they hold shipping the game out until either the day before or day of the game's release (depending on how the store works)

  it isn't uncommon for games to leak. especially the big ones. this is no exception.
