You could always skip.  I took 2 days off work when Halo 2 was released.

hahaha well i mean if it were high school hell yeah but its college and the two classes i have today are rather important for my exams next week.

I think Im just going to check again when i finish at 4:15. My only concern is that's about the time kids will be asking their parents to take them to the store which means chances of finding it go slim. But either way im thinking it might not have gotten shipped until today because no stores around here have their copies.

haha thats what i was thinking... what a bad time to release this awesome game... right during final papers and exams. it sucks too because im in my last year and how am i going to graduate with this game distracting me??  tongue.gif

FYI, Oblivion is shipping via FedEx.  Nail down your FedEx delivery schedule and you'll know when copies arrive.  For my local store, it should be between 12-1.

It isn't fair I know. I have A-level exams in a few weeks and need to rivise. I will have 1 week to play oblivion before I get my mate to hide my xbox 360 from me until my exams finish on the 9th of June.

I called an ebgames here and they had a few copies in already. Futureshop is showing basically every store as having them in stock (In Ontario) LE

I don't want the LE though, $10 more for a coin, I don't think so.

I just posted a topic about it but if you're looking for the regular edition CompUSA has them for 44.99 (if your store actually has them).

I just picked up the Collector's Edition at Walmart. They had 4 of them and a stack of the regular version.  The local Hasting's also had at least 10 regular copies.

Not True!!!

I got my LE Oblivion this morningat around 10:40 at EB, and they had nothing but LE's so I got it, and I must say, I think it was wotrh it, You get another DVD, a guide book thing to the peoples of Tamriel, and a really sweet fold out case.
its totally worth an extra 10$

WTF I had a gift card for Best Buy so I pre-ordered it from BestBuy.com... The nearest one to me is about a 80minute drive round trip so I figured it'd be better to have it shipped instead of going to pick it up...

I haven't got a delivery confirmation yet so I checked the webpage and it's "Backordered"  grr.gif
the worst part is just about every store within a 30 mile radius of me that carries games has this in stock...

You know, I haven't pre-ordered anything for years because I would continually get burned... I decided to pre-order this because "maybe it's gotten better"... nope, I guess it's back to camping out and running to the store on launch/release day for me  sad.gif
