Halo 2 Retail Date Broken in Midwest

Thanks to c0nrad, who alerted us to a Gamespot article stating that Halo 2's launch date has been broken by a Midwestern store. From the article: "Several reports on the Gaming Age forums--which included photos of the limited edition of the game--said that several individual Meijer stores, a self-described grocery and general merchandise retailer that operates in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky, were selling the game early. However, calls made by GameSpot to several Meijer outlets made it sound like the franchise was sticking to the deadline." The reader continues: "Despite that, Ebay auctions have already gone up, with one having already reached $265!"

Violation

Wouldn't this be a violation of the terms?

I wonder how the makers of Halo 2 would react to something like this -- may make the store lose the dealership, if it had one.

Re:$265?

Well they've all finished voted for Bush so now they need something to occupy their time.
