    Well, my local (Hadley, Mass) EB store (where I had pre-ordered the game) did not have it. Neither did the local Best Buy store, their employees shrugging shoulders in ignorance.

    But, hey... neighboring town's Best Buy store (Ingleside, Mass) had it! So, I'm off to installing the game and getting sleep deprived tonite...

    P.S. Interestingly enough, EB headquarters called me twice today, asking about my experience picking up the game...

    P.P.S. My girlfriend spotted several happy owners in the streets of NYC today... ;)

    Default Update From Tucson

    Of the 22 stores that should have receievd the game today, actually ONE NOW HAS IT as of 8pm local time, the inexplicably delayed truck for Best Buy near Tucson Mall arrived. I was trolling through availabilities and saw that one light up literally as I was scrolling through the BB stores... When I called they said they did not have it, but whoever was at the computer was apparently checking them in. I raced down there 40 minutes ago just as they put them on the shelf I got there. One guy got it ahead of me, and one woman after. With mine, that took three of the apparently whopping EIGHT they receieved in all of Tucson on release day after 8 pm!

    Whoohoo! Time to install. I will come back later when I start drinking espresso!

    Well I promised my wife that I would let her buy it for me as a Christmas Present since she never knows what to get me, especially since my golf bag is full of clubs and I don't fish during the winter.

    I will need some serious mental help by the time Christmas comes about.

    Unless of course I cheat and go buy it without letting the wife and son knowing.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    Aieeee! No, no, no, do not wait a month and a half before you're allowed to touch the holy of holies. Let her buy you, say, Gothic 3 for Xmas instead.

    A new day dawns. Perhaps the UPS mojo will be strong today in Wisconsin.
