Gamestop won't sell me games.

Every time a new game comes out I go to the Gamestop by my house, but they tell me that it only ships on the release day and they will have it the next day. Now, we all know they have had the game in the back for at least a week now. So why won't they sell the game on the release day?

I got shot down yesterday for Street Fighter 4.

"So why won't they sell the game on the release day?"

They lie. Although Street Fighter is sold out everywhere.

I am in the shipping industry, and I know it takes about a month to ship something from asia to america. So how can Gamestop do it in a day?

So hang on what? Release dates aren't actually the release date in the US?

Here in UK games come out on Friday. That's their release day and it always comes accompanied with a date. Example - Street Fighter IV is out on 20th February (a.k.a. this Friday); Killzone 2 is out on 27th February (a.k.a. next Friday). I'm genuinely confused -- are US release dates not the dates posted on websites?
