Is SSBB SHIPPING on the 9th, or is it being RELEASED on the 9th, or BOTH? Usually, the retailers tend to ship to the US first, then to Canada... I don't wanna get Brawl 3 days late! :( Could someone shed the light on this subject? I'm hearing different things from different people!!!

Triforceman22 · March 05, 2008, 06:05:29 PM

I think the street date is the ninth...

Yes, Canada usually gets screwed, but luckily, being an Albertan, I have seen that the stores DO have the game in stock, they just can not sell it yet.

Tupin · March 05, 2008, 06:10:14 PM

The game comes out March 9th 2008 at 12:01 AM.

Triforceman22 · March 05, 2008, 06:20:27 PM

Doesn't canada get it the same time america does?

If you are in the same time zone where it is 12:01 AM....

The_Waddle_Dee_Knight · March 05, 2008, 06:27:42 PM

Hmm K... Mixed replys... Any good known sources that announced the release date? I might be able to find some info then...

@Mackormoses, soooooooooooooooo does that mean living near the border can get you Brawl, or does it count for the whole province? Like, I'm saying if someone lived in northern Alberta, since there province is close to the border they could get it at the same time as the people in southern Alberta? Basically, if a province is close to the border, does the WHOLE province get it at once? (That one sounded better then the last :P )

You will get the game at 12:01 AM at any place that has a midnight release in America and Canada.

Doesn't matter where you are. All provinces/states get it at the exact same time. Unless they are in different time zones.

Triforceman22 · March 05, 2008, 06:32:56 PM

So, eastern time will get it on the ninth?

You get the stupid genius of the day award! 'Gratz. Usually Canada has a one-five day delay. For instance. MoH: H2 was officially released a day after the U.S. version. Many times, even though the same date is true, due to Canada Post, and the like, Canada usually has a two to three day delay.

As for the border comment, that has nothing to do with it. Edmonton, Calgary, The Hat, Fort McMurray, Lac La Biche, all of em get it the same day.

That's what I am sooooooooo hoping for. :P

@Tuppyluver1, I think I get it know... But, if that's true, then when did stores (or, when are stores) get(ting) Brawl? It must be at least 1 day early...

Tupin · March 05, 2008, 06:38:02 PM

@Mack

Excuse me for not knowing Canadian shipping schedules. :|

Excuse me for not knowing Canadian shipping schedules. :|

I would hope I know how Canada works :|

Would you like to know who the first Prime Minister was, and any scandals he had? How about having a woman leader before the U.S.? Until you become a political, geographical, historical, or business expert, I claim to have more knowledge on the subject.

However, this time you ARE correct, and any place having a midnight release WILL have the game available. They only do this for larger games; Galaxy, Halo, and other titles are the ones that get special treatment. Otherwise, most games (Rock Band, MoH) come out later.
