Local EB says today!

Just got off the phone, EB says that they expect to receive them this afternoon. It's 12:30 pm here, I have to work at 7:00. It's a race then. (Actually I've pre-programmed myself to be dissapointed, but at least I know I'll have my hands on a copy by tommorow at the latest.

Sigh. Just got off the phone with my local EB and they say 28th. I'm feeling mixed emotions. At first, when game was due for release, I was pumped. Now, two weeks plus later, it's numbness. It's just like...meh. :(

Did my Ph.D. at Columbia, and now waiting for my wife to finish hers. And then we're off :)

After all, everyone should live in a country other than their own for a while.

P.S. Only a lurker on SHWI? Well, it's a bit of a dark period now, anyway :)

Just canceled my EB Order!

Even though I ordered it on November 7, 2002 they did not have enough to fill my order in the first shipment. I am a bit upset because when I ordered I clicked on a button that cleary said next to it "pre-order ships on 11/19/02. However my account later showed a status of "Backorder". After a phone conversation and email with EB it became clear that my order would not be mailed out today and they had no estimate on when it would be filled. Easy solution to this...I cancelled. Now I hear that people who ordered with Gamestop for 5 dollars cheaper are getting theirs shipped as we speak.......Oh the humanity. I picked EB first because they had always had a good record of shipping things on time....I will not make the same mistake in the future. So tomorrow I start hunting around the local stores to find a copy.

If the game does not ship in by Tuesday I am going to be a bit ticked off..what kind of gaming store doesn't order enough games to fill their qouta that they have sold? I just hope the next batch comes tomorrow so they can ship it....

I'll be stopping by my local Gamespot--which isn't taking any "hold" orders for their shipments in the store--in the AM, just on the off-chance it shows.
If not, I'll be there again Wednesday A.M., while the rest of the kiddies are stuck in school. Suckers.

How many copies does a store get?

Just got off the phone with a local Gamespot. He said for 5 dollars I could reserve a copy coming in probably the 27th but I would have to show up in person to lay down the five dollars. He sort of tapped danced around when I asked him how many were coming in and if he thought there would be enough. Anybody have any retail experience and have a guess on how many will arrive at your typical Gamestop store? I've got to get a hold of one of these before Thanksgiving.

Evil Eye,
It all depends on the size of the store, and the region--when I worked at EB in my youth, the # of copies depended on the size of the store; that is, their total monthly volume.

Your average store will probably receive anywhere from 6 to 12 copies in its first shipment, because they're constantly receiving replacements on virtually a daily basis.

Count,
Thanks for the info. Now just have to decide whether to risk not reserving it. Just kicking myself because I could have had it tomorrow. Oh well, it's not like the world is going anywhere. I can still conquer it when I finally get ahold of HOI.

Thanks again!
