We know Crackdown went gold and is shipping to retailers very soon. I called up Gamestop asking the release date and this was his response:

“Let me check the computer. Just a second. Alright, we get it February 13, probably before that. Wait – February 20 is when we’ll sell it.”

Release the game Microsoft! Why wait? Major Nelson, John Porcaro, and two more Microsoft employees are already playing the game!
