EB jumps release date again with EA Classics

Electronics Boutique has jumped the release gun once again, selling Electronic Arts' newly repackaged Classics range two days before the official release date.

EB in West Thurrock was selling the u12.99 budget range, which includes Theme Park, Syndicate, NHL 95 and System Shock, on Wednesday 24 April 48 hours ahead of Friday's release day.

Local rivals Game, HMV and Dixons said the range was not available when contacted by CRN on 25 April posing as a customer.
