Tucson, AZ, eh?

(Arnelos reminisces about his college years at UofA)

I was living in Tuscon only 8 months ago



If Tucson already has the game... If I had one of my college buddies buy it and send it 1-day delivery to me in the Washington, D.C. metro area... would it arrive before the shipments of the game arrive in stores here?

(probably not... but it's funny to think about)

EB at Fair Oaks Mall in Northern VA has some copies!

[weregamer]

My preorder from EBGames.com, placed about a year ago, shipped on the 25th. Unfortunately, though I payed for FedEx overnight, the bad weather "back East" delayed it and I won't get that copy until tomorrow.

But they hadn't run out yet at the local Software Etc. store (Fremont CA USA) so I picked up a copy to play tonight. I'm lucky - I have a friend who doesn't *need* to have it ASAP who already said he'd be willing to buy a copy off me if something like this happened.

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....

I went there at about noon and they told me that they didn't have it and had no idea when it might be in! Argh.....

THe sad this for me is that today would have been perfect for me to get the game. Now when it comes to EB on the 26th, I dont think I can make it down there to get it! I already took a day off school for this damn game and I cant take anther day off!!! Why the hell does infogreed do this to us??????

Infogrames didn't do this...The snowstorm did.

I bought mine about an hour ago at a local B.C. Future Shop.

They only had 4 copies left and some guy with a smelly diaper kid was looking at one of the copies, I grabbed one and have just installed it and now I'm going to read the manual.

This morning, wed 26th, two of my local retailers received a few copies just for SOME lucky having pre-ordered. All the others including myself shall wait 1-2 more weeks at least, and that's just for pre-orders again.... I don't have it, I CAN'T have it. But something around 25-30 lucky fans have it right now in my city ( belle ville de Québec, Qc, CANADA ). So the game was being sold this morning, but no copies to be found on the shelves. A Future Shop received only 8 copies instead of the 70-80 ordered!.... Did Infogrames intentionally cut some international shippings in order to supply an underestimated US market???

I sincerely hope you guys BTs and lucky purchasers you'll have a wonderful gametime; perhaps by the time you'll easily kick Ithkuls and New Orions, It will be my first timid step trying to make gov plans, creating TF , and learning the financial sliders.....

I'm off for a few days, goodbye.

P.S.: INFOGRAMES: you SUCK

Drive to Maine and buy a copy....

[notyoueither]

Compusmart in Edmonton has about 100 copies available spread between their three stores.

Future Shop most likely has them too.

I NOW HAVE IT!!!

Best Buy in Fairfax, VA called me back around 6:30 p.m. to let me know that they had a shelf full of copies.

I just got back from driving through the snow out to Fair Lakes Shopping Center to the Best Buy to get my copy.

$49.99 + tax

Installing now

My Wife, bless her heart, has just graced me with the game at work. While I can't play until I get home, I can read the manual.

I have called the EB games in the mall by my house 3 times today. They told me they hadn't received their shipment today all 3 times.

I had my wife call after I went to work, she is told they still haven't received their delivery. "But", he says, " have you tried other EB stores in the area?"

"Where are other stores?" my wife asks.

"Oh, there is one at the Forum." WHICH IS 1 AND A HALF MILES FROM MY HOUSE!!!!!!

They have 5 copies available.

But, in my defense, I didn't think The Forum would have an EB, because the EB in the mall is only about 5 miles from my house.

The Forum store is between my house and the mall store.



ACK!

You are quite right about the learning curve. This is going to be a long night. It is fun, though. Happy gaming, thunar.

Nothern California: Sacramento

I was able to pick up the game at the EB store in the downtown mall in Sacramento today at 1pm,
They should have had it earlier but they manager said that the shipment of games missed their plane, so it had to take a later flight, so the games have been on sale there since 1pm
Dont know if anyone had posted this yet, but I thought I would just in case.

[Imhotep]

For those of you in South Florida try the EB at the International Mall in Miami, or the Best Buy in Pembroke Pines on Pines Blvd. and 114th.

Got it in Pasadena, CA at InteractCD my local store! Bwwwaaahh haaahaaa!
