Yup, the phone book says Alexandria, but most people just call that particular area Kingstowne.

i'm over by landmark, and i couldn't think of where one would go.

Any luck in central NJ? I tried Lawrencville Toys R us last night. FAILED

Me needs this game!

Just got mine... FUCKYEAH.gif!

Had to drive 30-40 mins out of the way to some shit mall in Flushing (66-26 METROPOLITAN AVE. FLUSHING, NY 11379 for those interested), but they had plenty of copies. Was the first place I checked, since I figured no one went over there anyway. :lol

*highfives 2kgames*


What was the store in the mall named?

Nope. The Regency TRU knows whats up. They aren't breaking the street date.

EB/GS is wise also. No dice.
Cool...I checked there and some of the GS/EB/GC stores in the area...I guess I could call the chesterfield TRU...if I find it I'll let you know.

Well, you played the demo before I did.

Revenge... she is sweet. :D

I hate Revenge :(

Are there that much pirates on 360 ? I thought they were just a few.

More than enough anyway. More bannings are in order, and also SP bannings. Your console must FRY
 
If you preordered CE you still have something to look forward too. It will be worth it. Keep hope a live.
 
Can't find a copy of Biocrack anywhere. The TRU right down the road for me has them but now can't sell them. WTF! I was holding off on Madden for this game. And how is it getting overlooked that this game just got another 10 from Game Informer?

Jesus christ, why did I have to play that demo? Damn you 2k and Microsoft!

Walmart might be worth a shot as well.

So you're the one that pissed off the old lady behind the counter. :lol

She went on and on about people coming in.

Attention New York GAFers: the Toys r us in Long Island City has it. Or, I should say, had it. Bought it, and there was 2 copies left. Walked outside the store, called SnakeXS to tell him to come get it, walked back in 5 min later to ask the clerk to hold one for him, and BAM sold out already. I'm still shocked at how fast they sold. Poor SnakeXs... I failed you friend. =(

SnakeXs said:
:lol Oh.. the sides. they are a splitting.

The sad thing is now the danger of the game leaking to bittorrent early is raised 5000.24%.

The smart thing to do is let stores sell it.


I think the vast majority of pirates would have waited for bittorrent instead of buying the game anyway.

Checked 3 TRU in RI and no one had any instock or they weren't selling them.

Fuck you Geoffrey Giraffe.

That stupid thing always seemed like a child molester to me.

Just sayin...
 
It is difficult to keep track of the myriad Bioshock threads. The game deserves them but it is difficult, for example, to find where (if at all) the most recent Penny-Arcade is discussed. There are words Tycho wrote which should also be quoted and bolded at length. Can anyone clue me in?
 
GONZO said:
They had four more copies I could see no one else was in that dept waiting to buy, don't call. just go.

I have someone heading over right now. It'll take them half an hour to get there, so it'll be close. I'm crossing fingers...

I guess the joy of playing game before street date > collector's edition at this point...lol

Details, details!!! Where at?

If you are in ABQ, go to TRU on Louisiana near Winrock mall. Good luck, after I told the Gamestop manager what happened and why I was bringing Madden back, he went on his soap box saying now he was obligated to call Microsoft about TRU breaking the street date. I doubt he will call, but will go down their himself and get a copy... LOL I don't know how many they had left (I didn't ask) since I felt like a robber getting away with a crime when I left. I just wanted to get out of the store before questions could be asked....
 
BAY AREA GAF UPDATE


Santa Rosa Target - Not yet, but maybe they'll be getting it later in the day?

Santa Rosa TRU - Nope (and the girl asked me if I was calling about Bioshock before I said anything)

Santa Rosa Wal Mart - Nada

Rohnert Park Wal Mart - Nope

K Mart - Petaluma - Nope



More to come...
 
Why cave now? You will still play the same game accept just earlier but if you plan to get CE you will miss out if you cave now. Stand Strong!!!!

Anyone remember The Mana Knight saying the same thing about that PSP for DS trade in deal ad?! :lol

Reminds me of that.
