No luck in the Georgia Alpharetta area.
I hit the TRU (said they had none and usually get shipments on Friday?), Target (oddly enough had Stranglehold but no Bioshock), CC, BB, and one Gamestop all near the North Point Mall area with no luck. I still need to go to the Fry's after work however.


Stranglehold???? I might have to make a trip at lunch.....
 
Nowhere to be found in NC, yet.

what's this commercial change? (just woke up and catching up on news...)

At the end of the commercial, where the release date used to be ( 8.21.2007 ) it now says, available now.

So yeah...

By the way I can't believe this thread is over 10 pages ( 100 replies ) damn this game is gonna sell :lol

claims on the 2k forums that Walmarts are now selling them....

I cant verify, as there are no walmarts near me in NYC.

If it's selling at Wal-Mart it might as well be selling at EB games or everywhere for that matter!

Vyse fail amount = reaching critical mass. On the phone right now. Thanks bud.

Zoinks. No chance you're coming into Manhattan later are you? I can't head out to Queens today.

I just spoke to someone else at the Times Square store, they definitely don't have the game on the floor or in the back.
 
Wow, so an update on the Erie, PA TRU. I sent my friend up to get a copy for himself no more than 20 minutes after I got one and a different guy told him that he couldnt get it until the 21st, which is weird, sell it and then pulling it, any other word of this happening?

Which one? I was going to check the one off of Clarkson road today. Calling is worthless IMHO.

Lindbergh. I went in person. Guy had this shit eatin' grin on his face. I wish I could have snapped my fingers and set him ablaze.
 
Guys, I just called the GameStop I am employed at. The manager got no official word that we are supposed to be selling the game early, but he's calling around.

Thank you some inside information. You are my savior. I want my LE... Revolt!!!!!!
 
The friend I sent to get the game talked to the store manager at TRU, which happens to be the guy that sold me the game and said that corporate had sent out an email to stop selling the games.

In other words, no early release it looks like. So your best shot is to get it now or hope somewhere else breaks the date. Best of luck.
 
just called another TRU. the lady said they had them this morning, but they sold out, they only had 6, same with the other stores. I asked if she could check the area to see if anyone had some in stock. she put me on hold

a different lady picked up and said that they didn't get any in and that they won't until the 21st.

what a crock of shit
 
I went to my local TRU in Parma, OH, and the 2 guys in front of me grabbed the last copies. Ah well, its not the end of the world.


FUUUUCKKKKK!!!!!
 
BAY AREA UPDATE

San Mateo, CA
Redwood, CA
Hayward, CA

I want to cry.

edit: Will check again later this afternoon during lunch hour :lol

I called my local GameStop a few minutes ago. I asked them if they had BioShock in. Guy on the phone said they're still checking stuff in and to call him back in 30 minutes.

I called them back and a different person answers. I asked him if they had BioShock in. He goes "uhhh um mm BioShock has a nationally set street date of August 21st which is next Tuesday"

Bastards!

Sounds like they got their email from corporate...

Looks like they're putting down a crackdown.

This needs to be reiterated.

Again, I saw a sign at Toys 'R Us saying that they won't get copies until the 22nd.

Plus there are multiple reports in this thread of people saying Toys 'R Us is not only not selling them but insisting they don't have copies anymore.

We all know they have the copies, but it looks like the release date is starting to be enforced.

Edit: And, just before the 2K forum servers went to hell, someone posted this:

ha, my store manager just called me, said toys r us is getting their copies pulled... see there are consequences like i mentioned 50 pages ago! haha...
 
I got the last copy at the King of Prussia (near Philadelphia) Toys 'R Us.

I was able to get it for 50% off with purchase of Madden (for sale now on Craigslist) :D
 
Toys R us just told me they "Dont" carry it, nothing about it's coming out next week, what an idiot.

Gamestop kept telling me next week. Damn, I wish there was another TRU around here.
 
got a suspiciously long hold, after which somebody else picked up the phone and told me 'next tuesday.' WORKING FOR THE CLAMPDOWN :(

if anybody finds it in so cal, let us know

probably better to wait for the ce anyway

No kidding, if I don't get it by tomorrow I'm just going to reserve the CE and make the delay worth it.
 
My TRU was sold out. My GS got the game in as soon as I got there but refuse to sell it early even though people came into that store with copies from TRU and asking if they would sell them early too.
 
For the three people on this forum from Mississippi (I'm one BTW), I've had zero luck.

The girl at EB games in Flowood had copies, but she said she couldn't sell them till the 21st. Maybe someone with better persuasive skills could get her to give up the goods.

I just got mine from the TRU in TOTOWA NJ. Color me surprised!

Dude, please tell me that they had more. Do you think that it's safe to call? I was going to go there at lunch and wound up going to another one.

EB/GS won't sell them early now. If they do they get fired and probly fined. TRU is the best bet now. But everyone knows about this now.
