Crackdown for sale south of the border

No, not "Crack for sale down south of the border", but Crackdown itself is. While you may be able to find both, we're really only reporting on the availability of the latter in Mexico. According to a wily reader of PlanetXbox360, Crackdown has been available at Mexican retailers as soon as it arrived at their doorstep. Some locations are even sold out of their initial shipment. Apparently, this isn't even out of the ordinary, and Mexican retailers tend to ignore street dates, as seen above. One thing we're curious about, is how many of the 3405 gamers who has played Crackdown on MyGamerCard.net has taken advantage of this, and 50 have Mexico as their locale. Another thing we're curious about is whether any of you fanboys near the US-Mexico border are going to try your luck south of the line or just wait patiently until the 20th?

Man, the release date should've been before the long weekend not after it... I think Microsoft should allow retailers to sell them early considering this... mostly I just want to play Crackdown.

I wonder if the Crackdowns in Mexico will also have the Halo 3 Beta...

@2. yeah, that's what I've been wanting to know too. I live in Colombia, and I think we get the same mexican copy of the game. I really want in on the beta so I wonder if It's available for us too.

Crackdown is available in Germany since the 12th of this month :-) Eventhough its not supposed to be sold AT ALL ( Ratings, etc. censorship, killergame, blablablabla ) -
Fact is if you are 18+ you can buy it tons of places already for 2 days now :-)
