It turns out that releasing a game on a Friday is a bit confusing for some retailers! Traditionally media is released on a Tuesday (here in the States, at least). I'm not precisely sure why Tuesday - if anyone knows please enlighten us! There are also reports of Skyrim showing up on eBay, for those of you that did not pre-order or otherwise find it difficult to locate a copy.
It does seem kind of weird that the game has been sent in the same shipping boxes as other games, but must sit in the back room of the store until Friday rolls around.
So, are you going to venture out today in hopes of finding a retailer that 'forgot' this game isn't officially released until Friday?

Haha, it's not a bad practice in general, but they would be showing far more self-control than I.
