Just a quick note to let you know at least one retailer has started selling Batman: Arkham Asylum early. That being JB Hi-Fi’s Galleries Victoria store in Sydney.
Square Enix role-playing-game Dragon Quest IX doesn’t go on sale until July 11 in Japan. That still hasn’t stopped at least one mail order retailer from breaking the street date — though, with a special request.

The above picture was taken at major Japanese retailer Bic Camera on March 4. Resident Evil 5 does not go on sale on March 4 in Japan, but on March 5.
A Kotaku reader just got his hands on Killzone 2, as you can see. That’s because a Gametraders – ah, good old Gametraders – store in Canberra has broken the street date. Anyone else managed to find an early copy?
One of these games shouldn’t be sold to the public. No, it’s not Viking: Battle for Asgard, but that’s a very good guess! We’re talking about Fallout 3, which, at least at some Wal-Marts just west of the Mississippi, is publicly available, even though it shouldn’t be.
