I visited a local EBgames store where I pre-ordered a copy of RTW today. The clerk told me that I can probably pick up the game tomorrow.

I keep my finger crossed and plan to make the trip again tomorrow at lunch...

I visited the local Best Buy today. They got a fresh batch of ROme pre-order boxes. Dunno whether to take that as a good or bad omen (or should I say augur ~;)

Will check daily on the way back from work starting tomorrow until I get it.

i hate best buy. I just tired to check my presell (preorder that comes as an empty box with cupons) status on line, it said order not found contact customer care. I did. Talk to this guy and he tells me "The order is complete. It's a presell, if you want to get the actually game, i suggest you buy it tomorrow for $49.99". At this point i asked him if i paid $10.00 for the empty box of cupons that i alredy threw out? 30 min later he told me to go to my local besbuy and talk to customer care there.

so now i have to go throught more bs before i can get my hands on the game. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH BEST BUY!!!

This has already been discussed on this forum, believe it or not. Best Buy sucks.

Not a problem for me I've never seen a best buy. Bwahahahaha ~;)

Over the years I have determined that pre-ordering games just isn't worth the hassle. I wound up going to the store and standing in line behind everyone else who had just waltzed in and picked it up.

For anyone worried about not getting a copy on day one then I guess reserving a copy might relieve some angst but otherwise I see no profit in it.

~:mecry: I...I went to EB at 9:30, and, and, they were closed ~:mecry:

and then I thought, CompUSA! I bought my other TW games there! They wont fail me! BUT THEY DIDNT HAVE IT OUT!! ~:mecry:

finaly, in all my desperation, I took a deep breath, and drove to the dominion of evil, Best Buy, AND THEY WERE NOT OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~:mecry: ~:mecry: I JUST WANT THE GAME!!! HOW MUCH IS THAT TO ASK

It says that the release date is today, but none of the stores in Charleston, SC have it. Everyone said it will come tomorrow. I just don't understand why are we behind the schedule here. I guess it is a Southern thing! :furious3: :wall:

I've called every store I can think of and still no dice. The one store that sounded like they would have it around 2pm when I called back the guy gave me what seemed to be a pat answer, I think they have it and are holding off the phone customers so they will have enough for walk ins and pre-orders.

As for best buy those people are imbeciles...your almost better off calling wal-mart, thats how sad it is over there.

I visited EB store where I reserved my copy twice today. Both time I was told that it will be there tomorrow, Thursday. Apparently the hurricanes caused some shipping delay, which I don't completely understand because I live on the west coast. So I hope that tomorrow I'll have it for sure

Geeze, the purpose of a presell is to reserve you a copy of the game. You then pick it up and get your $10 reduced from the price. What a bunch of bozos.

how do i go about this? I have the paperwork (reciete), but the presell box is god knows where. Do i have to bring the empty box to best buy, or will the paperwork be enough?

Good news on my front. EBgames called this morning while I was out - my copy of RTW is IN!!! Now I just have to get out to the store and secure my copy. My hats off to the wonderful people who deliver things in all kinds of weather and conditions. :bow:
