Store that breaks street date most often?

[GreenScar]

I am wondering if there's a store B&M or online that seems to break street dates more than most? I seem to remember a certain one in the left ocean that frequently used to ship movies up to two weeks early? Not sure if they still do. I'm really wanting to pre-order a certain movie about a Jade Giant and try and get it as early as possible.

You can PM me if you'd rather not give up your sources!

Wal Mart used to do it pretty regularly, but since they've redone their Blu-ray section I haven't seen them break street date in quite some time. I got Transformers a week early from Tower, as did a lot of people. It's rare that a day and date title gets put out early, at least in my experience. Usually it's catalog stuff.

Maybe I'll try Tower. The one I was referring to was dvd pacific, that shipped me the Spidey trilogy two weeks early.

You are how I found out about them.

Yes, they still ship movies out early although sometimes it depends on the studio. Sony, Disney, and Lionsgate ship the earliest at 2 weeks. Paramount and Warner won't ship until release date. I think Universal shipped about a week early, but I don't remember all too well.

Blockbuster, I saw Kill Bill, both of them, 3 weeks ago. And Batman Begins 2 weeks before.

I'm not going to mention DVD Pacific.

(Not that I ever bought from them.. Tower sends me all my early Blus )

Actually, in spite of their name, they're on the right ocean. (Florida, last time I checked, which admittedly is a few years ago.)

Well I've found that Blockbuster breaks it all the time, plus they're prices are actually pretty good. I don't remember the last time I had to wait for the actual release date to get a new release. Wal-mart will usually get the new releases a month after it's been released.

Walmart used to break street date all the time. The don't really break street date anymore, but they still do stupid things like have sealed cases of movies on a pallate with the current week's releases. If you are sneaky enough and there aren't too many people around, you can usually get a case off the pallete, opened and grab a copy and double time it to a front check out.

Blockbuster always does it.
I got Uncharted a WEEK earlier
