Ships tomorrow

Well, tomorrow is the big day. Do most Electronic Boutiques get their games shipped overnight? Does that mean we can expect to start seeing it in stores the day after tomorrow?

Also, how many people who pre-ordered will keep the tracking page open in the browser, constantly refreshing it, elated when it reaches another scanning point?

Yeah EB good about getting stuff out so everyone should have their's by Thursday!

Post Mon Mar 03, 2003 10:35 pm

Thursday? The game is allready in transit. Should be in most stores by Tuesday afternoon. I did notice tho the offical web site does not have the "In stores March 4th" (or was it "ships March 4th?) up anymore. Anything can happen to slow the shipping process.

I usually find E.B. has their's the same as the release date about 10:30-11:00 AM when U.P.S. drops the shipment by. This is the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. I always try Fry's Electronics first, some of their first release games the sell for about $37.99, but have to wait a few days till the get it. If I can't wait then I go to E.B.

I preodered mine, so I should get it Wednesday. It's actually a really good thing, too. I have a Logic exam Wednesday and if I had the game before then, I wouldn't study a thing. And I REALLY NEED to study. If anyone has any easy tricks to acing college exam-level Logic proofs, I welcome the help with open arms.

Yes, I preordered mine with the shirt and everything, and yes, I know that makes me a nerd/dork/geek/whatever you want to call me, and I don't care

Well according to Microsofts annoucement, they scheduled shipment on March 4.
So that means it won't be in the stores until Weds at the earliest. And also in my expierence, when I pre-order games I didn't get it until the day after it hit the shelves at the local stores, and this is with overnight shipping. So my guess that we'll be able to buy it on weds, but those who preordered will get it on Thursday.

If 'P' then 'R', If not 'R' then not 'P'... what's wrong with that?

Just went to EB to check up on my order. The store is going to have it on Wed mid-morning when their shipment comes in.

My friend pre-ordered on-line and he gets it on Thursday AM from EB.

But he gets the t-shirt...maybe it won't fit him
