In UK. Also received copies of X and Y today. Ordered from Zavvi.
Wow!! I'm so glad I read this. I'm ordering now
Yep I am very pleased, bit of an obscure place but they clearly aren't primarily a game supplier therefore probably broke street date to make sure people got it on time. Plus that 8pm cut off time for orders is amazing.
As for the rest of ya I'm putting together another status update posts for all the retailers I know of.

Ordered with GAME and The Hut, GAME has just shipped mine, but I ordered with the Hut this morning too, and its shipped, hoping itll be here tomorrow, going to send the GAME order back, but sending it back to the Hut as its more expensive there for me, that way I'll get it quicker and cheaper too. My Hut order is currently in Warrington.......I'm excited now, I didn't have this hype for BW or BW2, but this game, I'm so excited for, kinda like I was for DP. Wish it could be delivered same day though, would love for it to arrive this evening.

It says it will be dispatched on the 11th, but as I payed for next day delivery I should ignore that part right? I'm so excited!
When I ordered it, it still had the pre-order button up but as soon as I went through checkout and everything it said delivery date was the next day.
Thanks I appreciate your time you're taking to inform us about this, big thanks to everyone here actually for sharing the knowledge

No problem I know everyone gets twitchy when things start shipping early (I know I do!). So I kind of feel its better to put people at ease rather than just wondering what is happening.
If there are any fellow Germans here: Call your local electronics shop chain (you know which one I mean lol), they are getting their games by tomorrow the latest and have told me there is NO restriction on the release of the games.
That means they will have them on the shelf by this afternoon (after 4 pm) or tomorrow morning.
Does any shop offer a "premium bundle" for X and Y?
My shop offers a free 3DS XL case with either Yveltal or Xerneas, but that doesn't really interest me too much.

I heard things about a german independent store releasing early yesterday, but I can't remember the name of it
. As for the order bonuses to be honest I haven't seen anyone do anything all that great, just trinkets and things that don't seem particularly special. However some retailers do have some in game bonuses like certain poke balls straight out the gate.I heard things about a german independent store releasing early yesterday, but I can't remember the name of it
Yes, I know some people who already got their games, too.
But our biggest electronics chain will officially put them on sale by tomorrow.
I just went there and asked and the guy said they'll put them up as soon as they arrive at their warehouse.
The 3DS cases seem to be the most "high quality" products so far... I have heard of posters and the like, but don't care about them at all either. ^^"
The only real bonus here in the UK seems to be a pokeball game holder that hold a few 3ds games but it looks pretty cheap and it isn't exactly practical. Good little extra for a kid though, I spose I have kind of grown out of the target demographic for these things now

Can we please get the older, old forum back?
And thus the 'worldwide release' is failing yet again.. I'm honestly not sure why this happens.. Why can't internetstores respect these dates??? Sure, it might be a bit hypocritical, as I do have enjoyed the leaks and stuff, but oh well. I'm not going to spoil myself. I've preordered and will receive a message for when I can collect my game at the store.
Oh, and I only paid 16 pound. Probably the best deal out there from a legitimate store - no shady internetbusiness. I saw it being 32P on Amazon for example, which apparently, is a total rip off.
Sadly, that's still better than the £40 price of the eShop.
Well internet stores always ship early anyway because they want to make sure that they hit the pre-order date properly plus Saturday is always a disaster for any kind of post so it is understandable that they would all start shipping now. Plus in the UK for example games usually release on a Friday so non-specialist game stores were always going to get muddled. To be honest on Nintendo's part a Saturday release was a bit misguided.
And at this point in time I actually find the internet stores more reputable than the brick and mortar ones, plus the recommended retail price is £35, so wherever you got that deal is great, good on you!

That's insane.
The cheapest I found it was at Amazon for approx. 40$/€
Most charge around the 50 mark for them.
