When should i go to buy it?

I live in Houston, nearest computer game selling store is best buy. when should i expect it to show up there? and should i even go to look because it might be sold out?

I'd go tomorrow, probably early afternoon. I doubt it'll be sold out on launch date in any city.

I live in Jacksonville, FL. I was checking the Bestbuy's and Compusa's here and they listed the availability date of 06-Mar-03. EB (Electronic's Boutique) lists it today. However, the EB here usually gets their new releases the following day, tommorow. You should check Bestbuy's website for info though.

I actually removed it. My webspace is down that's why I'm not using a pic of my sig. That should be smaller than what I had up there. TY for bringing it to my attention. Also, can you remove the filter or at least edit it?? It's blocking out the first four letters of my handle.

A good few places would be circuit city, best buy, RADIO SHACK, COSTCO.. or WAL-MART. OR K-MART. lol.

Best Buy always seem to stock their games DAYS later than other stores (the one in my town does anyway). I have no doubt the game will be sitting in a box on their dock tomorrow morning, but it may not make it to the shelves until Thursday sometime....that's just my experience with the local one, however.

The answer to your question is:

I am in H-Town too and preordered but I have gone through the rush to get games on release dates so I can tell you where you are likely to find them.
Forget Compusa and BestBuy.


1. North Side I-45 and Beltway8, The Fry's Superstore.
2. GameStop. There are like 5 or 6 in houston. Get there right before closing if possible... there will be lots of boxes. Make them open them.

Otherwise you may get lucky at Walmart, I got Black and White 2 days before it was supposed to be shelved. They arent real smart there and sometimes release things too early.
