Are you sure that means you will get one in the first shiptment?


I better, or else I'm shooting up the place grr.gif

I feel pretty confident I'll be getting one.
The guy did say to expect a phone call from them.
If for what ever reason I can't get one, I'll just head over to Fry's where the game is being sold for less.

The logistics involved with pressing disc is not an issue at all.

This is "artificial demand", and you guys play right into it.

Well I am going to stop by after work (5 o'clock) and see what's available. Futureshop shows them as not in stock but I am sure they'll be there. I have some ps2 games I am going to trade in for whatever they'll give. I don't think I will have a problem getting it, we'll see.


I traded 3 old xbox, a ps2 games and final destination 2 dvd for 9.40. total came out to be 50.59+tax.

That's absolutely obsurd. If they offer me that much for 3 ps2 games I will just sell them on ebay.  My friend gave them to me so it's raw profit, but still. GT4, FFX, and FFX2 should catch more than $10.

You should get more than 10 bucks. my FFX2 cost them 4.80. the other 3 games are DOA3, PGR, and silent hill 2. they gave me a total of 3.60 and my dvd only saved me a buck.

No there are no game shortages....I work for Best Buy and each store gets over 60 games each.

The fact that not alot of people have 360s still makes it pretty easy to get games to. But to end this thing, Stop going to EB or Gamestop for games and if you go to major retailers you will find all the games that you need.

Yea thats true but right now I had to trade in a ton of stuff to pay for GRAW cuz I have no money so those major retailers kinda lose out in that dept.

Of course theres a shortage, everyone should always preorder.  I was very lucky and went to best buy and grabbed the last copy off the shelf.

(The above was sarcastic, all of it true, but sarcastic.  The following is also true)

Then I stood there and talked to another guy who had just bought the game while the employee refilled the shelf with some of the other 60+ copies he had.

I don't think preordering is necessary. EB Games said that if I preorder they would guarantee that I got my copy on the first or second shipment! That's like guaranteeing that whichever team wins the next Super Bowl is in the NFL. Don't be a fool waiting for a second shipment, just go down the street.

That's the last time I read one of your posts while having lunch mad.gif
There's hot pocket cheese and tomato sauce all over my monitor screen now jester.gif


hahahaha

sorry bro

I just started 2nd mission after chewing up baddies on rooftops

holy shit this game is amazing! The lighting/shadowing is excellent. I spent half an hour just tossing nades at vehicles to see and hear them go boom!

Love everything about it thus far and its definitely in my top 10 of all time. Play some 3 player coop with some friends on Live and wow, the mp maps are 2 die for  love.gif

we played rocky cove once and i stared at the effing water and got lit up quite a few times  jester.gif graphics are a huge distraction for me.

the wait was well worth it!
