How do people get a early release of F1 2018?

Recommended Posts

Some people got it tho. I don't know how they can play the game before 24th Aug while we have to sit in our chairs and wait for the game to be released. Just how?

Some shops ship the games way too early. I think someone got the game days ago and he just pre-ordered it from somewhere.

Depends who you mean. Codemasters send out early copies to a lot of YouTubers etc. to make videos, as part of their marketing. Other than that, it's just down to retailers shipping copies earlier than they're supposed to.

Don't forget about review copies. I'm also a small reviewer and have been playing since few days.

I´ve got the game yesterday in a small shop^^ So if you want to have it earlier, try it there instead of a big company with stores all other your coutnry.

Could you tell us where did you buy it?

I think he is talking about retailers who ship copies earlier than they should. I might be wrong but to me it is illegal.
They're not breaking any law. At worst they're in breach of contract with the publisher/distributor, which could mean they won't be regarded favourably by that publisher/distributor in future. Of course, it's not in the publisher/distributor's interests to cut off any supply of product to the market, so they don't usually do much about it.

The shop is privatley run in my town and there are no other stores, so you can´t do anything with the name.
