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.
Gamestop won't sell it early even if they get them tomorrow. BB, CC, TRU, and Walmart have the best chances of putting them out early.

So far, it is pretty badass.


I believe you D, I am gonna actually sit through the demo and see how i feel about it... I havent read anything or even kept up with what this game is all about, so I am sort of fresh to it... are you joining the gaf Madden league?

Not mine

:lol :lol :lol
 
Called my Gamestop and the guy tried telling me that since the game just went gold it's not even possible for anyone to have it. :lol

The manager is a good guy, though, and hopefully if I can show him some picture of the game being out and receipts (!!!) we may be able to work something out.

Here's fingers-crossed for you. I called and it was, "Huh?"

I probably will get in the 2nd one. I am building a house right now, so I might be away from the net for a bit, so don't want to commit.

Still doesn't mean you can buy them.
EDIT: If I bring a picture of a receipt and game does the store have to give it to me.

Pretty much. And they wouldn't tell me when the CE will arrive (or if it has already). But, they're nice people so, oh well.
 
damnit...

toys r us and the other stores do not have it in boise, idaho

i wish i could have been one of the lucky few...i'll have to call around tomorrow
 
NYC GAFfers, I just called the Times Square TRU and the woman (who was really nice) laughed when I asked for the game because it was the third call she got about the game over the past 10 minutes. Anyhoo, she said they definitely won't have it until next week.

From CAG. Hope this helps someone.

If the closest TRU (an hour away) gets it in tomorrow, my friend and I are making the trip.

Well I just called another TRU and the guy said that they might have it tomorrow... So I'm in the same boat as you.
 
If any Orlando Gaffers are interested in the game I -MIGHT- be able to land you some tomorrow. My cousin works at the TRU on Colonial near the Fashion Square Mall tomorrow and told me if they have it he'll hook me up. I'll get back to you all tomorrow after he goes in.

Hmm, PM me tomorrow. I might be willing to make the drive over to Orlando. :D
 
I feel like this is intentional. I mean game is done. May be 2K Games decided to allow stores to sale it wherever possible without any official announcement. How come so many places at the same time can break street date? On the other hand west coast is still looking for the game which is confusing.

I am watching Demi play it via webcam, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :(
Huahuahua, I told him to rush out and get it the second I saw the post on NeoGAF.

SUCCESS

_dementia said:
Any success in Miami, FL?
No and I'm not about to alert the CAG assholes (they get to all the sales before me!) on a public forum as to when it'll arrive to certain stores.
 
TekunoRobby said:
Huahua talking to him now. I think I may jump in on the webcam shenanigans.
TR and WhiteMan, what prevents demi from coming back (if he wants to come back)?

If, inconceivably, someone figured out the stream address, the Internets would crash into the forests.

you know what, i think you maybe on to something here. Because of all this "BIOSHOCK GET!," I got off my lazy ass and drove in traffic(los angeles) in 100 degree weather(I used AC though) to land me a preorder of the LE. I was putting it off till the weekend, but man, GAF has gotten me all hot with Rapture:D
 
Nearly every major store will have this game this week. It's shipped to and has already arrive (apparently) at most stores. Any GameStop/EB Games/TRU that says "We don't get it in until next week," is lying.

This might be the first time I'd recommend going to the GameStop where you get the WORST service ever, as you're probably dealing with a bunch of people who a) don't care about their jobs and b) don't know what a BioShock is, much less a street date.

Time to go to the GameStop where the manager is leaving in a week and GAVE me a copy of Ratchet and Clank 1 because he was too lazy to ring it up. "Really, this game is only going to cost us $2.50 and I don't feel like ringing it up." For reals.
 
Anyone in Georgia managed to find a copy? I live in Perry and checked Warner Robins and Macon to no avail. (The lady in WR didn't even think they'd be getting it for some reason.) I know Gazerk had no luck but I didn't see any other postings.
