Question Players got game early

There are several walkthroughs of the full game on youtube and a couple of unboxing vids. How is this possible? It all looks legit but why have they got the game so early?

Some stores sell it early which is illegal.

Some people get review copies which comes a week before the release date

i'm not certain it's exactly illegal (no one is going to jail for selling the game early), but i'm sure it violates the agreement Squenix made with retailers. I wonder what kind of punitive actions publishers take against retailers that break street dates, if any.

I know people who bought it from stores that are storing the game until the official release, and they had to pay extra money for it

It's not like they're forcing anyone to buy them.
