When you’re dealing with a highly anticipated video game, release dates become something of a suggestion – especially for mom & pop shops that simply can’t compete with big box retailers. When Super Street Fighter 4 was about to be officially released, I ran down to a game\/sneaker\/cell phone place that was selling it a week early. In other words, it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week rumors started buzzing about the possibility of having your Xbox LIVE Account banned for playing early. This after Xbox LIVE’s Director of Policy Enforcement, Stephen Toulouse, first okay-ed, then backtracked, then re-approved playing legit<\/strong> copies of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
