This really isn't news, the 7-11 down the street from my apartment has been selling games for the past few months. They started around the time burning crusade came out.
This may be old news to you but many people (including me) never knew this. So, it's actually very good news. Thanks QJ!
THIS IS A GIFT FROM GOD!
And it happened, just now, while I ws jonesing for some Banjo Kazooie at 23:42. Thank god for 7-11... wait..... 11? *****.
This is old news, they also always broke the street date for gears 2 and fallout 3
This is news to me. There's 3 or 4 7-11's i go to regularly and none of them sell games. It would be absurdly convenient as one of them is less than a block away.
Gonna get my slurpy and my games. Talk about a great life:D
Damn I'm gonna get fatter because of this.
Do they even offer a return policy? I only ask because most of their goods that they offer are consumed, and wouldn't need to be returned. Unless you're using their restroom.
They also broke the street date for Lich King.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they broke more street dates for other games to come. They seem to already have a bad record of it. :-p
I think some branches have started selling games earlier than most. Perhaps, what's been going on for the past couple of weeks/months in other branches was simply a test-run by management. Now, they're formalizing it via press release. That's the news.
sells select games and upcoming console bundles too since 4 years ago.
oops i live in japan hehehe.
thats becuase all you japanese *****s just wanna sit around and play video games all damn day.
Nexon and 7/11 started dating some time back. I guess Nexon's given it all up to 7/11 because you can get free CDs with Mabinogi, Maplestory, and Combat Arms at 7/11 as well as slurpee cups with Nexon prize codes on them. Like I told my wife: Nexon must suck some good ***** because 7/11 can't get enough. ;)
