Well...I just was at EB and went ahead and pre-purchased my copy and asked when I could pick it up...she checked the computer and told me that it would not be in the store until the 23rd. So it appears that it is being "released" on the 22nd and the shipments go out that day and the stores and pre-orders(well...ones that had it overnighted) will recieve it on the 23rd. Sorry for the bad news...I guess I will be calling there when they open to see when i can pick mine up...
Usually here in Canada we get stuff on the day after. But the US should have it the day of the release date. Sometimes we get stuff on the release date too.
I ordered mine from the "Special Offer EB store" I dunno if i get overnight delivery but, do u guys know if mine might come the 22nd or 23rd? Please Reply..
my bro asked the eb guy when he pre-ordered our copies and the storeguy told him they would get it on the 22nd, but they may or may not distribute them on that day. also if we are in the end of the pre-order list then maybe we would get it on 23rd.
Go to Fileplanet.com and let the stream video run it's course. It'll show various scenes from MOHAA that I'm sure you're familiar with.
The part that will interest you is the ending of the stream.
It clearly says, "In stores January 23rd".
Picking it up at EB is the quickest way. If you order frm anywhere--you're waiting. Have seen this happen with many releases. Wait and see--EB will have it first.
Let me just say that I've never seen ppl want this game so bad before in my life.
i've seen worst. does freelancer or how about b5: into the fire ring a bell.
ouch. to be burned and the company being indifferent about the game's fanbase after about 3 years of programming.
at least we have the leisure of anticipating this game.
