TheFandangler said...

Meat said...

Gamestop, Walmart, and Best Buy all said the same to me as well. Not in until tommorrow.

Damnit.

Me Three here. Lamesblog.

Today was my day off too.

Oh well I'll play it tomorrow night after work...

:(

Paul said...

I got it from Amazon, and the ship date is today, but it does not release until Wednesday (according to Game Stop). I am getting mine Friday and I have been practicing on the lack luster NHL 09 demo on PS3.

Unknown said...

toys r us said they should have it around 5

Paul said...

Do we have anyone playing Goal???

jrkrush2112 said...

i called the best buy at century III and they said they MIGHT have it out at 2pm today

Dan said...

best buy has it in the add by 2. they will have it.

Russ Tundra said...

I got the same answer from the BB at PGH Mills. MAYBE by 2.

e.mirchich said...

good lord, this is lame. same thing happened to me last year. skipped a days worth of classes to go get 08, walked around in the rain after taking the bus to the shopping center (it had best buy, walmart, and a gamestop) only to find out that nowhere would have it until the next day or so. fucking ea. failure to launch.

Juice said...

the closest best buy to me is like 30 minutes away
if i drive out there and they sell out of it before i make it i will kidnap mother fuckers and tie them up in my gimp room and feed them mayo and paint chips for the next six months

Juice said...

oh and add a rusty curling iron, 20 of my best friends, a Japanese business man with a lazy eye and a German Shepard to that equation.

Aron said...

i was at best buy at 10:30, they received 2k while i was there, but they said to come back at noon. I did that and they said they didn't have it yet and to try at 2:00. So now i'm waiting at home on an off day...kinda frustrating, but i'll get over it. I'll let you all know when i find out if they will get it...of course this is in Springfield, Missouri and will help none of you but whatev.

Christian said...

best buy lies they told me that ea "screwed up" and they wont have it till tomorrow

Nate8724 said...

BOOOOO I gotta wait till tomorrow

Nate8724 said...

Talked to Game Stop they said by tomorrow they will have it and I told him about the rumors you guys ar talking bout and he said the west coast is getting them now but not the eas till 2morrow

jrkrush2112 said...

Century III best buy have 4 copies for every consol at 2...i just got out of class and they sold out...so 8 ppl on ps3 and 360 are playing it as i type.....bastards

Aron said...

our best buy said the ad was a misprint, and the game will ship tonight and be available tomorrow morning

eric said...

I called my local BB and they said they don't have it yet, but a truck just came and to call back in an hour.

superfuzz said...

Which Best Buy is your "local" one?

TheFandangler said...

Tomorrow is the feeling I'm getting as well.

If you live in and around Pittsburgh and you're playing it... I hate you.

I'm game for 08' tonight. Might as well keep that bad taste in my mouth a little while longer.

Unknown said...

How does this effect Francois Leroux?

Bacon077 said...

Christian said...

I just got an automated call from GameStop saying to come in tomorrow afternoon to pick it up. at least we're getting it tomorrow!

TheFandangler said...

Everywhere I went they were clueless. Shame on me for trying Toys 'R' Us.... there was some bitch working the game counter that looked to be more concerned about scoring crack than having a clue.

Tomorrow or bust... unless of course I hear of it being around tonight.

Meat said...

Went every place in my town, finally went to Gamestop and reserved a copy who told me it should be in tommorrow. So atleast that's solved, once work is over, I'll be on it all night tommorrow.

Hopefully, a lot of you have the same luck.

Until then.

Anonymous said...

got my copy pre paid an gettin it at ten AM sharp tomorrow from EB!!! will be on all day 360 tag J DUNN55 hit me up if anyone wants play

eric said...

sorry, I didn't specify earlier...i'm in illinois.

But regardless, the idiot on the phone knew nothing. I tried 2 best buy's, a circuit city, a gamestop, a walmart, and a target. All no's. Finally reserved for tomorrow at gamestop :(

Circuit City guy was like yea it came in, its at the front desk! Turned out to be 2k9...bleh!

wilsmith said...

fortunately I live in a part of the country where no more than 3 people will try and get the game.

Russ Tundra said...

Epic Fail!!!

jaos said...

bestbuys have em (bethel park). the gamestops in the south hills (centuryIII and clairton blvd) have a lot of copies in. The guy told me not to worry about them selling out at both locations.
