Oh man it is close to me (10 minute drive I guess).
Should I bother or not?
I like the idea of having it to play during my long weekend.

I mean if you're getting it have then hold it now and head up there now

 

[Skilletor]

Xrd and KoF13 are my two favorite 2D fighters since CvS2.

I haven't spent this much time on a game in years.

 

[The End]

Of course, the gamestop near my house has copies, but the one near my office where I reserved it / have credit does not. Sigh, if the don't tomorrow I'll make a fuss.

 

[GamerJM]

Dammit, the GameStop I go to has copies but I can't go there right now because I can't drive and I'm at college.

Ah well, I'll just wait until the official release I guess.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I did not realize you could do it without a phone. Sent a request to hold it.
Now to play the waiting game...

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Gah

Should I buy it twice? Or wait for the LE?

Fuck it I'll wait...unless like, the LE contains the normal case that I could return...wait doesn't it have a slipcase?

._.

Call to hold it

 

[Usobuko]

I hope this means Amazon ship earlier to me.

 

[Mesoian]

It does not.

 

[Skilletor]

I was the only one to preorder on PS4 at my gamestop.

Update: now they do! Success!

 

[Laconic]

Of all the days to get home, and crack open a couple of 8%ers.

...fortunately, my lady is sober.

What to do... how good IS the soundtrack that we get with the LE?

At least on Best Buy's site:

Kick back with tunes from the game with the Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Vocal Soundtrack, which features 10 tracks composed by Daisuke Ishiwatari — the creator of the franchise

 

[C-Sword]

So anyone in Canada/Montreal got this yet? Is it only Gamestop selling this early?

 

[Laconic]

At least on Best Buy's site:

that tells me... little, lol.

I want to know how good it is.

I mean, as far as opinions can take me.

 

[ExVicis]

Limited Edition got pushed back until the 23rd due to strikes at 2 LA ports.

WHAT?!

Noooooo!

 

[Laconic]

Fuuuck.

My local GS got 1 copy of each.

...and gutted them.

Fuck 'dat.

I'll wait.

 

[Gamer345]

No European release??

 

[AkelisRain]

I was the only one to preorder on PS4 at my gamestop.

I really want to purchase the PS4 version, but I just can't play without my stick.

 

[Type-Zero]

Thank you for the heads up OP. Called my Gamestop and got my ps4 copy. Sucks I can't use my arcade stick and I don't have ps+ at the moment but still glad I got it. Now to wait for Elwell

 

[skLaFarebear]

Since the ultimax TE2 got pushed back to late January and I don't even have ps plus+, thinking I might pick up the ps3 SE version for 50 now then sell it back to GameStop when I get my TE2 and pick up ps+

It seems like a waste of money but it's almost winter break and I got nothing but time and more hours to work for money.

 

[G0523]

Grabbed a copy for PS4 on my way home from work! Thanks, OP!
Strangely enough, the GameStop near my house doesn't show up online but the one near my work did. When I went in, the clerk said that they started selling hem yesterday. Glad I got a copy.

 

[wwm0nkey]

No European release??

Inside the game itself it says the 17th but probably digital only

 

[Celcius]

Good looking out, I just picked up my pre-ordered copy

 

[Shrewder]

Picked-up my 'On Hold' copy from GS. Sadly, it's the opened case with a sticker slapped on it. On a positive note, I needed a replacement case for my copy of Dragon Age, so the sales person was nice enough to give me one for free.

Edit: Thanks for the heads-up, wwm0nkey. Cheers!

 

[Filth]

Any options for a fight stick for the ps4? The te2 wasn't released yet?

No way in hell I would accept a used game for new price money, unless you paid 5 bucks less cause some employee at gamestop "rented" it.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

Yeah, no way in hell did your pre ordered copy end up as the display copy on the day of release.

you got scammed

 

[Negator]

Unfortunately it looks like we'll have to wait until Tuesday to get Elphelt. That kind of sucks.

In this case it seemed like a lot of stores got 1 or 2 copies and not the full shipment of it.
So if the game had come out on tuesday he would have gotten it unopened. Still a shitty practice though. Since this almost happened to me with Project Diva F. Went to pick it up a day later and the guy tried to give me a opened copy, thankfully they had just opened up a box from delivery that had more. Once I brought it up.

It's such a grueling wait. :^(

Thats even worse!

Then even though they knew they had preorders and a short shipment they went and made a display copy!

I would be talking to the manager.

Yeah in most cases like this it's usually someone jumping the gun before checking their whole shipment. Since it should have been unopened and either allotted to the first preorder or first come first serve preorder.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Jesus christ this game is awesome, especially at full 1080p on ps4...it makes the amazing graphics really shine. I feel bad for the people who have to wait though...

 

[Nocturno999]

I'm not sure if I'll cancel the Limited Edition for this.
I have to resist 2 more weeks!

 

[Dartastic]

Okay fight stick, you can arrive aaaaany day now.

At bloodyroarxx. I never said my copy was a pre-order. I used the in-store pick-up, which is you give your basic info, online, and they hold a copy. (If they have it)

I checked the GS website, after my pick-up post in this thread, and a location closer to my home had them in stock and I was able to swap the opened copy for a sealed one.

 

[Filth]

What stick did you get and for what system? 😥

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Well

My local gamestop has it

Looks like I'm going to double dip~

.....I was gonna say, maybe if GAF every has a tournament, I can give away the extra copy as a prize, but....everyone who enters would have it already. Hrm.

 

[Qvoth]

I think Aksys Games twitter said it wouldn't be available for pre-order digitally, won't be up till release date.

goddammit

 

[Sinistral]

Went to an EBGames in Vancouver (Cambie) and talked to the folks there... Nothing, can't even pre-order it as their system shows it as 2015 release date with no month given or something. Anyone else have luck in Canada?

It appears EBGames isn't accepting any more pre-orders online too.

 

[Cheska]

Damn, would have loved to use my GCU discount on this and get the game early. But alas, not releasing early at Best Buy

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Best buy should release early. I'd love to use my discount and 10 dollar off coupon.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Will this game sell a few PS4? Who's buying it for this game?

 

[Volcynika]

If the website is anything to go by, I doubt you can get it from a store now. Looks like it was restored back to saying releasing next week.

Pretty sure you still can since stores got the email giving the okay, if not I really don't see why they would stop it, damage would be well done by now lol

 

[CommandThrower]

I've got two local Gamestops, so I'll see if any of them have it a little later on.

It's one day after this happened, so hopefully I'll be able to get me one.

 

[Volcynika]

Doesn't mean Aksys couldn't step in and tell them to stop, which caused another email.
