"LOTR: TTT EE" --- Wrong Street Date on Shipping Boxes at Toys R Us

I was at a Toys R Us yesterday and noticed they were already selling "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Extended Edition" ($29.99). I asked the department manager why they were selling it when the street date was 11/18. He said that all the boxes they came in had a street date of 11/11. He even went in the back to double-check and, yup, that's what was on all of them.

So if you want to purchase the thing now I suggest you haul ass to your nearest Toys R Us.

That is, unless they've been told by corporate to pull them off shelves till Tuesday.

I also heard some Blockbuster Video stores have them for sale, too.

YMMV for this one. Our store (Iowa) hasn't gotten our shipment of these yet. Most times we don't get our Tuesday releases until that Monday.

Too bad I've already preordered my copy from Suncoast. Otherwise I'd probably be watching the EE this weekend. I can still wait the extra few days, though.
