This is becoming the year when every single major game goes on sale before it is supposed to. I’m sure it’s breaking your heart too. The latest game to hit shelves early? The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Dutch gaming site InsideGamer reports that “loads of gaming shops” are selling the game already. Maybe if we’re lucky in the US Kmart, Target or Wal-Mart will make the same “mistake”.
[Thanks Youri!]

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 12:16 PMOn one hand, I really am dying to play it. If I wait any longer I may explode with hype. But then again, the release date is really epic, sooo…

Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 1:36 AMI hate two kinds of people in this world; People who are intolerant of peoples and cultures different than their own and the Dutch.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 3:22 PMI’m hoping it doesnt break street date. Buying the PC version and I think its steamworks, so can’t play it anyway?

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 6:48 PMYou can’t play, therefore no one else should be allowed to play. Nice.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 5:54 PMIt’s unfair that every other country has cheaper games. When I saw the 54.99 I almost wept :’( Damn you Australia and your stupid distribution fees, retail challenges and transportation costs *raises and shakes fist angrily*

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 8:01 PMSo the Dutch get a game a few days early. The US, Japan, Europe, probably even Russia, manages to get games released on time where Australia manages to continually have even entire series of games failing to get any license in our Pal territory. But that is another story altogether…

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 10:47 PMPeople! This proud Dutchie has just bought Skyrim, legally in a gameshop! There is one problem though: Steam wont let me install it untill the releasedate of 11-11-11… Not so lucky after all I guess…

Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 12:15 AMI would like to say, it is completely okay by me. Especially since it’s single player, it’s not like you’re competitively losing anything. Hopefully it’s just a headstart for those modders to start thinking about what they want to put into the game once the modtools come out :D

Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 9:03 AMUhm, as someone from that country… it’s basically the rule here that a game will go on sale early. Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3… now Skyrim, all went on sale early to name a few big examples.
