Activision has apparently given GameStop the green light to begin selling Modern Warfare 2 early throughout stores in the Northeast United States. The reason that select stores in the Northeast were granted permission? Apparently it was because to stem the sale of the game from various "mom and pop" stores that already broke the street date.
GameStops in Northeastern states such as New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio are selling Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 early, granted special dispensation from Activision due to street-breaking mom-and-pop stores.
Here in Atlanta we still have to wait until Monday's midnight launch to pick up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but lucky folks in several Northeastern states are getting their copies earlier. According to a GameStop employee I spoke to in Bowling Green, Ohio, Activision granted certain area stores special permission to sell the game early, in order to stem the tide of lost customers picking their copies up early from local mom and pop stores.
So, if you live in the Northeast U.S. you may be able to go pick up your copy of Modern Warfare 2 earlier than you expected. Keep in mind that your mileage may vary.
