Mr.Shiu and Watch Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Well I went to Gamestop and theyhawdow dragon is not out yet I am confused.
General Spoon Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I think its released on the 16th. Oh wait, that's today! Oh look.
Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I usually find games in stores 1-3 days after the release date.
thanibomb Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Really? They have it here in LA. Stores here usually break the release date and sell it a day or two before, though.
Eltoshen Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Interesting, I wonder what's taking so long for roms to come out. Usually they pop out before the actual game is released, or just a few hours after, lol.
Paper Jam Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 As Levin said, retailers usually get the game a few days after its release, unless the game in question is highly anticipated (or overhyped, you might say). And, no matter how big Fire Emblem's fanbase may be, Fire Emblem will never be as hyped as Mario, Smash Bros., Metal Gear, or Halo.
Melodia Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I went there today, and I was told that they'd get it tomorrow (due to it having to ship from California, apparently). Usually games are in stores a day or two after stated release date, I guess. Edit: I just got my call of conformation for the arrival of my preorder. Looks like I'm getting it tomorrow :3
Kintenbo Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 My brother keeps saying we'll be getting it on the 19th. From the sounds of the other people's situation, he might be right. So on Thursday, after oboe lessons, off to Best Buy I go.
Aori Radidjiu Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Well, I hope they have it where I reserved it today, I'll be pretty disappointed if they don't. Well, at least I think they'll give me a call if they get it on a different day. >_>;
Just call me AL Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 The guy in the Gamestop by me said tomorrow. (I'm hoping at least.)
Ϲharlie Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 It isn't uncommon for games to be released a bit later than advertised. I remember a few years back I asked the clerk at Electronics Boutique when FF1+2 for the GBA was going to be released. I came back on the exact day I was told and I was told that it wasn't coming out until the next day. >_> Anyhow, I probably won't get my copy until the 19th.
luigi bros Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 It get's shipped on the 16th and it's in stores on the 17th.
Ragnell Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I just went to Best Buy and they didn't have the game out yet. I asked a clerk and he found eight copies in back of the store. But then he came back and said it's not released until tomorrow. And I had a coupon for 10% off that expires today...grumble, grumble...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Interesting, I wonder what's taking so long for roms to come out. Usually they pop out before the actual game is released, or just a few hours after, lol. That is odd... I'm trying to get the US version to test its online compatibility with the EU but not luck...
Aori Radidjiu Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Well, went to my local GameStop, got told it'd be in tomorrow. Shipping and all. They apparently get games on Tuesdays. Hah.
