What you can most likely do is just return the Amazon copy to Walmart with your receipt

Does Walmart have a return policy? Maybe you could buy that one, then return "it" (AKA the one from Amazon) to Walmart once the Amazon one arrives.

EDIT: Someone beat me to it.

I remember when KMart was breaking Mass Effect release by like a week, I got all the way to the register before the guy was like "Wait a minute, I don't think this comes out for a week."

I was so bummed.

Why do companies take streets dates so seriously. Whether you get a sell at walmart or amazon. A sale is a sale. That just means you are getting your money early

The street dates are there because it helps smaller companies compete with larger ones and no one is in a rush to start selling the game first.

Same store for me when GTA IV came out. The hype behind GTA IV was unreal (and popularized the Rick Astley meme) that when I saw the game on store shelves in this one random K-Mart, I went for it. But alas, I was unable to get it then (only a couple days later when it actually came out).

The street dates are there because it helps smaller companies compete with larger ones and no one is in a rush to start selling the game first.

And the consumer ends up dealing with the annoyance. Games sitting for weeks but unable to be sold. But thanks for the explanation. It's a stupid one, but at least there is one.

I hear the game is like 300 hours long or something.

That's more than enough for 60 dollars to me.

It's been a looong time since I played a JRPG though so I'm kinda apprehensive.

Street dates don't get broken by major retailers anymore. This happens with every release. Some will put it on the shelves up to a week before. No one is ever able to get it. Only small shops break them, especially in NYC. Almost everything gets broken here.

I mean, on the one hand fuck Kotaku, second only to polygon in lack of relevance.

On the other you're kidding yourself if you're trying to claim anything other than a padded 20 dollar increase because switch. This would be a 39.99 DS game all year long.

I've got like 600 hours in Monster Hunter 3U, another 400 in 4U. Probably gonna do just as much in GU

I'm not sure how long jrpgs tend to be though

Doing as much as you can. I don't do general playthroughs, I tend to explore as much as I can and do every sidequest.
