This thread and the one titled "It's HERE! Thank you EB!" right next to eachother made me laugh.

But I agree with this one.

Yeah, I really don't get this. Another poster said this too, and I consistently get that line from one of the EBs near me, while the others keep saying "tommorow" every day.

Guys, I work at Gamestop, and if EB employees are anything like us, you shouldn't be too hard on them. For one, you're dealing mostly with a bunch of 18-20 year olds who are more concerned about getting home to screw their girlfriends than talking to some annoying customer (i know you may not think you are annoying, but all customers, by definition, are annoying) about some game they've never heard of. We can only tell customers what the computer tells us, and if it says it's going to be on the shelves the 19th, that's what we say. We don't have magical connections with publishers or anything so that we know exactly when it will be coming out. So just keep that in mind next time you get your hopes up over anything an EB or Gamestop employee says.

Well, I'm 19, too, so no sympathy from me.

If this is true about the "telling what computer says", then why did one EB tell me the 23rd, the same store 2 hours later told me the 25th, then 2 minutes after calling the store that said the 25th I called a different store that told me NEXT YEAR.

Thats why I never deal directly with people, just the automated online store ;) Never had a problem with EBs online store, several times I've gotten stuff early and they have kept me up to date on my orders status without any prodding from me. Now, I'm playing Vicki. Well, started to play Belgium, realized I need to be at work at 4, got confused by so much to do, and now will have 8 hours of hell waiting to get home. I should just call in sick :)

It's not just EB. I've been having a similarly frustrating time with Gamestop.

You are fortunate then. My current experience has been this. Original ship date 11/18. Email delayed to 11/19. Email delayed to 11/20. Email delayed to 11/23. Email shipped 11/20. UPS notice, scheduled for delivery 11/24. So the next day shipping is a lie if they shipped on the 20th as their email claims. Funny that the shipped email came almost immediately after I tried to cancel the order.

I only pre-ordered this time to show support for Paradox. I won't be using EBgames online for any future purchases. It really isn't the delay in getting the product as much as being "taken" on the postage and for the principal of it.

You are screwed man. Read their policies, they do NOT schedule for weekend or holiday deliveries. Sorry, you're another customer being "taken" for additional postage.

They are saying Monday here, in the Midwest. The joke is on them, as I cancelled my order and already received my copy from GoGamer.com. I'm not saying that I will never buy something from them again... let's just say that they will never again be the first place that I go to.
