Actually it's both.
Gamestop ships games on the day before they release them.
They usually get them in their stores before the release date.
But are required not to sell them till said date.

with most games, yah stores tend to get the game in stock before the release date. but with harvest moon, in the past releases at least, the games dont ship from the warehouse to the store until the actual release date. so you end up having a few people getting the games on the release date, then everyone else waiting an extra day or three for their local stores to get them in, freaking out, calling the store every hour, waiting for the store to get their ups shipment, then waiting for them to get around to opening their boxes to sell.....freaking out on the forum, swearing never to buy a natsume game again, vowing not to buy from gamestop again, drama drama. fun times~ :bunny:

^ XD psu, you made my day.

My game is going to be shipped today (I hope). The status is still "processing". I live in Europe, so probably I will get it on Monday next week. DHL is off on weekends *sigh*

Historically, I've never gotten texts or calls for Harvest Moon pre-orders. In fact the last few games I've pre-ordered from GameStop, I haven't received any confirmation that I'd done so and no notifications of their availability

Well today is the day and after waking up at 6am and thinking about it: I couldn't go back to sleep XD I am gonna head up to my gamestop around 12ish to see if they have it there. If not, I also had to order one for my boyfriend's sister and if her's arrives first since I ordered it from Natsume...then it shall become mine <3

I woke up around 6:30
I'll be heading to the mall at 9:45
GameStop opens at 10
and if they haven't received their shipment for the day, I shall wait until noon at the latest, then complain to GameStop corporate offices

lol
I'm pretty sure they'll have it though
Considering GameStop warehouses shipped the game a day before they were supposed to

Checked my email this morning and saw that I got an email from Gamestop. It says it should arrive at my house today. So excited. :)

Yup, I got the email as well, but since I didn't have enough money I didn't order any special shipping... so it will probably be a while. I leave for vacation Friday, so it will be so long!!

I pre-ordered from Gamestop.

I was told they typically receive it the day before the release date. I called last night approximately 30 minutes before their closing time to ask if they had indeed received it. I did not wish to arrive the following day at their opening time only to be met with disappointment. They did not have it. At that point I was then told it would probably be shipped overnight to them, and to call back after 1p.m. I have been able to pick up past HM games on their release date upon stores opening. So, this makes me worry slightly. However, having waited this long, I am certain awhile longer will not be an issue.
