MoO3 hits the stores - Seen it being SOLD? Post here

[Jack_www]

Finally, but the thing is that since I took yesterday off to get Master of Orion 3, I cant take today off to get it!!!!

There were big boxes (well, one) at the GameStop and EB near where I work.

Problem is, I promised my wife that I would never pay more than $40 for a computer game.... Guess I'll be checking the Best Buy advert this weekend; they'll probably have it for less than $40 starting Sunday.

Owings Mills, MD: Just got my copy from the local EB at the mall. They had plenty in stock, as I did not have a pre-order. However, I am still sitting at work, so that little red box remains unopened...

IG is based in France and what countries seem to have the game on the 25th? France and Germany. What countries don't? The U.S., England and other allies. Coincidence? You decide...

Ozymandous... check before posting. IG is based in France, but MoO3 IS NOT EVEN SCHEDDULED for release here.

I am waiting for my order to come from amazon Germany. So please stop with this story of 'other allies', it is not even funny.

Why?

On IGMoo they've posted tons of links to people hosting it, and most of those sites are down due to overuse of bandwidth...

But I've got my copy of the manual and the read me...

Strategy Games do NOT need this much backstory...

Stop whining...

Software ETC/Babbages have the game in Akron, Ohio area

Best Buys aren't getting it till weekend, they don't get the games directly from IG like most...they get it through another party.

Finally got mine from Compucentre here in London, Ontario. They said they are the first chain in Canada to get it. They have plenty of copies on the shelf.

Delivered!

Delivered to my apt manager at 10:23am today (ebgames preorder)... now if only I can get out of work early...

[Stuie]

@asonetuh - you don't look so good, maybe you should go home and rest.

[Algorythmic]

Just got off my night shift, dropped by Ballston Mall EB in Arlington, VA. Scored. Folks there aren't bothering to put it on the shelves, just have the non-reserved copies stacked around the register figuring it to be gone by 4-5pm.

Revving up the antimatter engines now....

Do you have a Medai Play in your area? In Metro Detroit, the Sunday sales ad had it listed at 39.99...

Or just sell some of your old games back to the store, you could sell enough to get the price effectively below $40, and make you wife happy by getting "rid of that junk you never use anymore."

WOOHOO!!!

Just picked it up at Seminole Town Center Mall in Orlando area....ton of them on the shelf.....installing as I type.

[TrainWreck20]

Gamestop (Albany, GA) says they are holding a copy of the game for me as I type....but now I have to squirm in my chair for the rest of the day until quittin' time

Silly me...I didn't ask how much...is that sad or what?

PS: Actually, it is now Babbages that runs it...and they only got three copies. I asked them to hold it because it was the last one!

[peacenik]

Got it at GameStop, Spectrum Mall in Phoenix. I called at noon MST and they had six unreserved copies. I reserved one and picked it up an hour later, and they only had one unreserved copy left. The GameStop employee said all Phoenix area GameStop/Babbage stores had copies when they opened at 10 AM, but from my experience they were going fast. The very nice end column display is sitting there temporarily empty.
