According to reports from the UK, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 or PES 2008 has already begun shipping to many internet customers, confirming that many retailers have broken the street date by almost a full week.

The game has already shipped to many customers and is on the way to their homes to go into their Sony PS3 or Xbox 360 consoles up to a full five days before the street date was set for.

This is huge news as usually companies frown upon broken street dates for games such as this since it is such a huge release in the UK.

UK gamers have stated that the retailer Play is now shipping copies of the game upon order and reports are also stating that the game is being sold in retail locations as well.

Whether Sony or Microsoft, or even Konami responds to the broken street date remains to be seen.
