I went to Circuit City the Friday before Guitar Hero III came out in hopes they had it early. I just happened to run into a guy that was in charge of stocking and didn't actually work for the store, but for the company. He told me the general rule is that if the store has it in the wherehouse, they can sell it even if its not on the shelf. He checked in back for me and couldnt find it, so no luck there. But this explains why some stores get away with letting it out early.
As for the release date, the "Ship" date even though some stores it gets shipped to sooner. This is probably due to the store being closer or further. Something shipped from the east coast to the west coast will take longer (obviously) so they all typically release Games/Movies/CD's on Tuesdays to ensure that every store has it the same time. So as a general rule, expect it Tuesday's unless otherwise specified by a midnight launch etc. Everytime I see a release date, I check it, notice its a Monday, so I add a day to assume its Tuesday. EDIT: RE:UC comes out Wednesday for some reason...
