I just called my local eb/gamestop in Ellicott City, MD (near Columbia) and the dude was just opening up their boxes of shipments in now. He said they had CE and regular, 360 and PC and they are selling them now. He made No mention of any street date or anything.
I just pray they are still selling them by the time I get off work tonight and am able to pick up my pre-ordered collector's edition.

Wow, I literally just hung up with them.
They won't be breaking the street date, but they will probably receive their stock today.

So true. When I went to go pre-order Madden on Monday (to get the $5 GC) I actually got lost getting to it! I could SEE the damn place from 394 and I had gone by it so many times in the past. I had no idea it was off that damn little road by a bunch of car dealerships!!
The same dude works in the game section every time I've been in since Monday. It must be lonely as hell. There's never anyone else in the game area with me. It's even funnier too because they now have the game section in its own little secured "playpen." It's like we're going in to look at pr0n in a backroom or something. :lol

Heads-up to Tampa folk: I just called the one on Fowler and the one at the Brandon Town Center.
BTC didn't get it yet and Fowler ran out of stock an hour ago.

Not to mention the Circuit City. I don't think I ever saw more than 10 cars in the parking lot.sk3tch said:
I was just recently back, and saw the remodeled Target. I like. The only good thing about going to that TRU, is that you can drool as you pass by the Maseratis at the, uh, Mazda dealership.
Oh, and sk3tch, I'm still pissed about the boondoggle that is the toll lane on 394 and I moved away a year ago. I was able to take Metro (Express, baby!) to work from St. Louis Park; they essentially made 394 a two lane road. People were up in arms immediately. Funny when MNDOT stated, "Well, we can't change the programming." Well, that, and the Feds with their grants would be displeased.

It's an okay book. The core principle behind it is the core principle behind the creation of Rapture, so there is definitely a strong similarity. For the first 400 or so pages, you won't know what the hell is going on. Then there will be a couple hundred pages where you are angrier than you've ever been at characters in a book. It ends pretty well.Baker said:
My biggest criticism of the book is that it takes a principle that is a good one when applied in moderation and takes it so far to the extreme that there's no way the world could last if people did as the book advocated. If you read it, you'll see that it seems to advocate some truly heartless stuff, like absolutely never giving to anyone who is in need. It's not as bad as the philosophies that it is reacting to and criticizing, but it's just way too extreme. And again, basically heartless. And it ignores the fact that human beings are social animals.

I just picked up the last 3 copies at my local TRU in Staten Island NY
Yeah, yeah, Minnesota REPRESENT!
Anything heard about our options here in the twin cities? I've called the TRUs in the area and got 2 NOs and a "check back later" from maple grove.
EDIT:
Try this. God knows these people don't even check half the time:
Copied from 2k forums copied from team xbox forums.

Parma, OH TRU has it in stock. Picked it up at 11:15, people behind the counter said it had been flying off the shelves since they opened, and that the few copies they had left wouldn't last long. I'd post picks if I could, but I'm stuck at work.

Every Gamestop I've called so far is adhering to the street date.

Looks like South Florida is getting stonewalled. Called around and went to a few TRU's in the Broward/Dade area (live in Dade, work in Broward) and even though I know that most stores have already received their copy most of them won't even acknowledge it or will flat out lie.

What made me laugh is that when I was getting these, the videogame dept at TRU got like 2 calls asking for this, and the employees looked at each other and were like "whats the big deal with this game" and I just smiled and took my games and left.
