Could Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be on sale a day early?

It's apparently on sale overseas right now, and there's a chance that Australian retailers may soon follow suit with Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

According to numerous reports around the interwubs, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is on sale now.

Of course, not here, just yet. But there's compelling evidence that stores in Paris and the Netherlands are selling the game days ahead of its Friday embargo. Is nothing sacred? 

Locally, though, it looks like the embargo is being adhered to - for now. A few folks on our forums have heard rumbles that tomorrow could be the big day, instead of Friday. Both EB Games and JB HiHI are apparently considering an early release, given the cat is out of the bag.

So, if you're like the rest of the gaming world and eagerly waiting for Skyrim, maybe contact your local gaming store, or drop by one tomorrow. You never know your luck!

And if you want to see what we think of the game, check out our next issue, on sale on Friday (so we could actually publish the review on time!).
