As far as I heard, gamestop is really a bitch about breaking street dates..so your best luck is at TRU, Circuit City, WalMart..

My hope is now that it's being sold by others, 2K will just lift the date and I can have my CE soon!

I'm going through WITHDRAWALS.

Bioshock system seller confirmed
Ooh and fuck you good sir.
Well, in a way yes. Getting a 360 for me was inevitable, Bioshock just made me get one sooner or later (being the front runner of the fall lineup).

And I got Bioshock at the local TRU (Woman on phone "Oh yeah we have Bioshock, here it is!" :lol

And all I have to say is :lol at the power brick.
 
Walmart loves breaking street dates. I'm hitting a local TRU and Walmart at somepoint tomorrow to check this out. I hope someone screws up.

San Luis Obispo here, raiding Gamestop tommorow?

Hey, totally off-topic, but I just graduated from Cal Poly in spring. Did you ever listen to KCPR?

Played the demo to completion a little over an hour ago. It's always nice to play the latest shitefest that GAF is hyping. Nice atmosphere, though.
Ugh.gif

Well, maybe not that near (San Jose), but it seems California is fucked so far in search of Bioshock

I know I'm shit out of luck :(

But I know someone who works at gamestop so yea..
 
Someone please go down to Gamestop and in tears offer to pre-order it, buy it's guide, a game informer subscription and whatever else they're peddling if they'll break the date.
 
I can't even get a demo of the PC version yet 360 owners can get the full damn thing now, PC Gamers betrayed again... :(

Your picture needs more Dead Rising and EDF 2017.
 
Can you use that 20% off TRU coupon for an online pre-order? It's only good until the 18th and Bioshock doesn't street until the 21st.

toms river NJ = no luck (didnt even have it)

freehold is a bit of a drive since i have work, probably won't be able to make it out there

I live about a mile away from the TRU in Freehold but I preordered the CE online last week, so there's really no point in me going over to check.
 
I think my only hope will be something like Target, Kmart or TRU selling it early. Went into a local EB and the manager pretty much said "no bioshock for you til 21st." then I cried and went home.

Not often, but congrats, what did you major in? Mechanical Engineering?

Well I'll be closer next week when I move to SF, but that's after we both have Bioshock.

Journalism. The reason I asked was because I did a gaming show on the station; was curious if you had heard it or not (I meet listeners of the show in the weirdest places).
 
i hadn't even decided whether i was buying it on day one, but this broken street date business has me ready to hit every tru in a 50 mile radius

for some goddamn reason

this is probably why i end up buying so many consoles at launch

Dammit, my bad. I deserve 5000 lashings.

Well, alright then.

Screw it. I'm tired. Just let that be a lesson to you. :D
 
I dont even want this game, I havent even made it down the elevator in the demo... and i am tempted to go pick this up... STOP GAF!!!!!

Adds to gamefly queue.
 
For Canucks here, I checked here in Edmonton Alberta:

TRU (97th street) - Nadda (it was in the computer system, but nothing in the back. But she was older then the Earth so, who knows, I had to take her word)

Bestbuy (137th ave) - Nil
 
Most of you aren't as screwed as me. When Bioshock is legitimately available on the 21st, I'll still won't be able to play it.

I just dropped off my 360 in its coffin at the local UPS store today. :(

So far, it is pretty badass.
 
Any found in North Carlolina. I am on the phone with Toys R Us right now, but since it is close to store closing no ones going to answer because they don't pay them enough to care to answer.

I can now confirm that Bioshock will be arriving in Gamestop stores tomorrow or the day after that.

Cant tell my source, don't want him getting fired..
MMaRsu, I don't care if this turns out to be incorrect or not. But thank you for giving me hope. It is the only thing that shall keep me steady.

FUCK!

Thanks for the info. Time to go bug the friendly folks at the local Gamestop.
 
Macomb, IL Gamestop sez:

All the pictures in this thread are HOAXES and to NOT believe any of you. Street date still the 21st and to just wait a week like it isn't a big deal.
