Couldn't 7-11 get in a lot of trouble for doing something like that? or is it just alright since you can't even play until Thursday?

Blizzard can do a number of things.

- If 7-11 corp. signed some kind of contract, Blizzard can fine them for breaking street date (Blizzard has done this with numerous companies in the past). Of course 7-11 won't really mind as they might make enough money to pay off this fine by breaking street date, but who knows.
- They can refuse to do business with 7-11 (highly unlikely).

The worst that could happen would be that Vivendi pulls it's contract with 7-11. Does it really matter though, anyway, since you can't do shit with the game officially until Thursday at 00:01?

Torrents, scene DVDRips and everyone who owns/works at a place that sells games already has it. It doesn't function until Blizzard flips the proverbial switch.

This has piqued my interest enough to hit the 7-11 at the end of my developments road, however.

Am I just dumb or is their Store Locator just bad?

I'm not seein any of their stores on the maps here, checkin states other than my own too.

Mine popped right up -- use a zip code, inherently works better.

justinios · 11-12-2008, 01:55 AM

DANG! i just went to my nearest 7-11 and they didnt have it, so i just got a slurpee.
i live in vegas though, so there are a ton of 7-11's maybe one of them has it?
ill just wait to see if any of the stores here get confirmed

I just went to two 7-11s near my house and they either refused to sell it or they didn't have it. One guy told me that they delayed it, or that Blizzard isn't giving them to 7-11 or something. I'm sure he didn't know what he was talking about, but it was weird. Bummer for me I suppose.

The best part about this search is, that if you do go and can't find one, there's a slurpee at the end of the journey.

I would suggest calling in advance if you try to check any other stores in Las Vegas, though.
