... yet some online retailers are listing games as shipping as early as this Tuesday, March 15th. What's the deal there? From what we got out of the games' producers ..., those dates are wrong ... but not by much.
...
In general, there may be one or two games that may get out significantly earlier than March 24th. But that's a far outside case -- we talked to folks from Activision, SOE, and SCEA (as well as called PR reps for Sony to get a more official answer), and all of their games are not to be released until Launch Week. Day-and-date, though, is being tossed out the window -- all of the games launching with the system are jockeying for position in between the 22nd (a Tuesday, which is the day games typically release nationwide) and Launch Day on the 24th. Don't expect to get [games] incredibly early ..., but do look for PSP games to start trickling in all through launch week.
