Which futureshop you buying at? We should meet up, hehee.

He's rusty, but at least he won't be costing us games like that when he's back to 100%. I'm a big fan too.

I'm picking it up at Promenades St-Bruno on the way home from work... but post here before you go, maybe I'll meet up with you at the Centreville location if I can get away from work for half an hour.

honestly, I rather be playing Civ.

I'd like to file a complain, and also I'd like to state that I won't be shopping at EBgames untill your my last resort, or something is done worthy to get me and my friends back.

I have been waiting for Civilization 4. I visited the EBGames on University street in the Place Des Ailes, in Montreal Quebec Canada. On Tuesday, the day Civilization 4 shipped, I went to the store to be told it would arive Thursday. Thats fine by me. I return on Thursday at noon, to be told they were expecting it sometime before 4 pm. I return at 4:15 precisely, to be told that they had received shipment, but were not selling regular copies to regular customers untill the next day, and were only allowing those who had pre-ordered to get copies. Essentially, I had been lied to.

Twice I was told that I could receive my copy on Thursday, and when Thursday came, I was denied service. This is intollerable. I have no problem handeling delayed shipments of games, but being lied to, and lied directly to my face, is simply something I won't stand for.

I am purchassing this game, and all future games, from other retailers such as Futureshop, untill you do something to bring me back. My friends and fellow Civilization 4 enthusiasts will do the same, I assure you.

Sincerely,

Derek Tonin

I suggest we place a catapult, two Horsemen and one riflemen in front of the store to "influence" their decision

Happy civing for the weekend everyone!

Atleast the futureshop people aren't idiots and promising things they can't back up. They havent once promised me a date.

The thing is, they DO have to keep copies for the pre-orders.

If you pre-ordered it, wouldn't you be pissed if they sold your copy to someone else who didn't pre-order it?

Next time, pre-order. While I agree EB is really complicated to deal with, if you do your thing right usually you'll get what you ask for. It's not always easy, but it usually works.

Although sometimes I wonder if they try their best to have employees who don't know jack about games.. You go in there, asking for a title, and all they can say is "Halo 2?"

[timekillr]

Well I just called St-Bruno, and they got them in.

The guy told me that they didn't even get the special collector's edition. What a load of crap; the other EB stores got them, so there's no reason they don't have them either.

Funny thing they didn't even call me up.

Last pre-order from them is City of Villains.. After that, no going there anymore.

Anyone have any luck yet downtown?
Tried Future and EBay again at Cote Vertu. Future didn't have it and EB is sold out (yesterday they didn't have it, today they're sold out!). Why did they keep telling me to come tomorrow if they knew they only had enough to fill their pre-orders. ARGGGH!

ANyways, weekend looks like it will be perfect "stay inside and play Civ all day" weather and I'd really like to get it, soon.
