Saints RowAccording to RoninJinn on our forums, they have. Saints Row, the urban action game that reminds people a lot of GTA, was supposed to be released Wednesday, but it seems Target released it two days early. His forum post reads,

Target's across America had released the game early. I had heard rumor's on Xbox.com forums, and then finally someone with it in their gamertag said they picked up theirs from Target. After about an hour or two, there were more than a couple people saying they picked up copies at their local Target. After thinking about it, I finally decided to take a trip to my local Target, and whadayaknow, Saint's Row.


It's pretty much only just a day early now, and not all Targets released it early, if we follow the people on the thread, and there doesn't seem to be much use going online with it either, as it won't register points for you until the whole system goes live.

Still, it'd be worth it just to beat the rush, and to get some practice in before the big day.

ahhh

True.... PGR3 was available way before the system was released. I got mine around September 18th, 2005. It wouldnt surprise me if someone got their hands on saints row a whole month before it was supposed to be released...... but one day before? Thats not much of an accomplishment. I mean ***** I know people who have Test Drive Unlimited already!!! The game is already finished but not being released until September 5th, 2006.

the game is awesome

I have had the game since Sunday, the Target by my house had a whole shelf of them. The only problem I have with the game is that the screen still flickers during gunfire & fast movement like it did on the demo which I was hoping would be corrected.
