Ben-DutkaResident Evil 6 launches on October 2. …you hear that over there in Poland?
If retailers break a street date, it's usually only by a few days. But we're over a month away from the worldwide release of the hotly anticipated horror title, and it seems a Polish retailer is already selling the game .
…oops.
Evidently, Polish site NeoGo was able to purchase a PlayStation 3 copy of RE6 from a store in the city of Poznan. The image you see here is what they posted up; it's obviously a picture of the box, manual and game disc, which seem legit, as do the in-game screenshots they tossed up. They even plan to publish a video. It certainly seems feasible that this retailer just messed up (or didn't care) and they started selling this blockbuster, but we have to imagine that Capcom won't be too happy about it. In fact, they'll probably be really pissed.
Now, the truly hardcore fans will hop a plane to Poland and pick it up. So what if the game is in German or whatever? You've got your game! And I mean, come on, you don't really care that much about the story, do you? …well, maybe you should.

Insert Polish joke
I'm sure gaming is like anything else, there are people selling products in an industry they know nothing about.
(*Cough* Gamestop *hack*)
Remember… These are the people who wanted to wait till night time before landing on the sun.
how can physical copies be at stores already when the game just went gold last week?
gold means done, dusted and the games been delivered for mass production.
so they created millions of copies and delivered them to stores in 1 week?
50 bucks says this is a promo copy, something used for either reviews or promotions like gaming events.
if it really is a copy bought from a retailer than dam there fast!
and someones going to feel the wrath of crapcoms lawyers!
i remember a while ago my local EB store accidentally sold a copy of super mario 3D land a day before release.
that arvo it was sold a ninty rep was at the store hammering into them asking why it had been sold, demanding they told him who sold the game and demanding he had been fired.
and all i could do was stand at the back of the store and piss myself laughing!
i mean come on, the guy was acting like they murdered his mother!
a month early i could understand his rage, but a few hours early come on give me a break!

It is really common around here for shops to sell games a few days to a week early, especially single player games. But wow, a month early is just insane.
Of all the countires in the world to do this it had to be Poland, I hate to say it but the jokes write themselves here.
Man , the logo look even worst on the box , thankfully it is nt on the disk .
Am I the only one who doesn't get the 'Polish' jokes references?
I hope not.
