UPDATE: Retailers In The Northeast Begin Selling Modern Warfare 2 Early

Reports are coming in from many Modern Warfare fans in the northeast US of retailers already selling copies of Modern Warfare 2. Because of smaller stores breaking the street date, some Gamestop locations and other electronics retailers in the area have begun selling the game. Many members of gaming message boards are posting pictures of their copies alongside receipts, while others claim to have had no luck snagging a copy. I called around to several retailers in the Minneapolis area, including two Gamestops, two Walmarts, Target, and Best Buy, and each of them said they had received no word from Activision regarding an altered street date.

How about you? Are there any retailers in your area that are selling legit copies already? Post in the comments below if you managed to grab a copy of this highly anticipated title.

UPDATE:  We've received the following statement from an Activision spokesperson:

"Activision has not given any retailer permission to sell Modern Warfare 2 prior to the Nov. 10 street date.  The company fully supports the Nov.10 street date."
