In Retail Stores Yet?

It wasn't at work tonight, but they said it might be on the shelf tomorrow.

Just wondering if anyone was able to pick up a copy off of a retail shelf on the 12th. Hey, that rhymes...

I'm gonna check it out tomorrow (today actually), the 13th. Hopefully, it will be available when I get into the stores!

NO! aaargh! games ALWAYS have a one day delay from the actual release date.. its called shipping time.

Getting up early to pick up my copy.

Yeah, I know about the shipping delay, but alot of people were confident that they would be able to find a copy in stores the day OF the shipping.

I'll be getting up early to look as well (is 11:30 AM early?). I have classes beginning at 12:30 PM and thought I would drop by Best Buy before I go.

Hmmm...that's weird. Yesterday, the Best Buy website said the 12th, and now the 14th? What's going on!?

Anyways, any other suggestions for stores to check out?

Usually you have to wait a little longer when you're dealing with stores like Best Buy, I'm really not sure why this is. However, retail stores that specialize in the sale of games such as EB or Software etc. will usually have it the day after the publishers ship date. This has always held true with my experience.

I went to EbWorld, GameStop, BestBuy, Circuit City, The Wiz, Babbages, Toys R Us, Kay-Bee, and Funcoland yesterday, all to be disappointed. They are released today, and I'm getting my copy after work.

Yep, EB has it. That's where I picked mine up.
