We broke the news yesterday, many didn’t believe but here is it. Thanks again to reader buckE182 we now have the first visual confirmation that EB Games is selling The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D early, a week early in fact. Below is a receipt for the game purchased this morning in North Lakes QLD. Again QLD is close to EB’s distribution hub so it makes sense they would have it first.
Now we have to wait and see if other retailers will now sell the game. However there’s another problem, well a couple in fact. Most stores are not going to have stock this far out from the release. Secondly if you want it cheap you will have to wait. Some stores were selling the game from as low as $47 next week, but those prices won’t apply. If you want Zelda early, you will have to pay more for it.
NB. That receipt is for the Ocarina edition, buckE182 tells me that it was the last one in the store without a pre-order. So if you get there early, you store might have some left.
Update 1: GAME have now told all their stores they can sell the game if they have stock. They are not allowed to put it up on the shelf however.
Update 2: JB are now SMS-ing their customers if they have the stock for pickups on preorders.
Thanks to buckE182 for the picture.
Predictions time once again.
More than 450 games added this final week.
