First EBgames/Gamestop said midnight Tuesday launch party, then it was 10:30 am Wednesday shipment, then 5pm Wednesday shipment (automated corporate voicemail sent to pre-order customers). And now...they send out a corporate automated message to numerous pre-orders on the East Coast stating "sometime Thursday". Called EB Games...statement was "Fedex didn't ship 70% of GOW from Memphis". |

Who cares? I want this game but I probably won't be buying it until the spring. Sorry, but I'm just not lame enough to go running to the store the second something comes out.

» why don't you get educated first?
Your grammar is horrible, my friend. Perhaps before ripping on someone for their spelling you should learn how to place commas correctly and form a sentence.

» Got Mine
I managed to get mine via Pre-order. Picked it up at my local EBX. My only problem now, however, is that I am completely stuck on General RAAM.
To everyone who got it: It's fun, ne?
To people who didn't: It's worth the wait.

» I got it....
I am in Michigan and on Tuesday I drove around town very irritated. I knew that tuesday was the street date for the game, and that stores should have had GOW in the back room a few days in advance. But no one had them. Fortunately, the shipments came in today (wed) and I got my copy. Right when I was looking at the title screen, I got "that call" saying that my local EB may not have the game in yet. lol

» Still don't have it.
I just called my EB in Clemson and all the pre-orders for the regular edition are in, but all the collectors editions are MIA. They are giving me 5 bucks off for the delay.

» Whatever
And your sources for that would be what?
And Alan Wake is still considered console exclusive even though it comes out on PC under the "Games for Windows" campaign in the same timeframe. Halo can be played on a Mac but it is still an exclusive game for the Xbox because you can't play it on Gamecube or PS2. Anyway, whatever, you play your Resistance: Fall of Man game with no multi-player while I play through Gears of War campaign online with a friend or play hours upon hours of multi-player four on four lovin'. You have no idea what you are missing!

» Woot!
I called my EB and they said the same thing.
So, I went to Wal-mart, then Toys-R-Us and then Best Buy where I finally picked up a copy. I then went back to EB and got the total cost of the game put back on my edge card. The best part is, HOLY SH*T THIS GAME KICKS ASS! Yep, multi-player is awesome. You just need a couple of games to get the hang of it and then it is crazy-go-nuts fun! And the graphics, man I pissed myself. So now I need to go out and get a bigger HDTV.
