BioShock Leaked Early

Seems that Toys r Us goofed up and sold copies of BioShoc well before the release date of the 21st of this month.

Some of the copies are going for $150.00 USD and up on ebay. Seems that Toys r Us could be facing fines for 5,000 dollars per unit sold. Toys r Us could also have 2K Games never ship them pre-orders again for future games.

2K Games had this to say:

"It recently came to 2K Games’ attention that one of our retail partners prematurely sold some copies of BioShock prior to the game’s official launch date. Retailers are typically shipped product in advance to ensure they can meet launch day demand on street-dated product. As a result, a few people were able to purchase the game early. Additionally, a TV advertisement for BioShock prematurely ran that incorrectly indicated that the game was available for purchase. 2K Games has reached out to our retail partners and is maintaining the street date of August 21st in North America and August 24th in Europe, when BioShock will be available at retailers. 2K Games is appreciative of the gamer excitement and critical acclaim leading up to the title’s launch."

There is also a pirate group by the name of Dagger who has gotten their hands on a copy of Bioshock as well.
