Purchasing BC

Morlow · 09/22/06, 6:51 AM

I'm kind of curious about the release of something as huge as BC. Mostly I'm wondering, on release day will I be able to just casually walk into Best Buy and pick up a copy or will every store in the U.S. be sold out for 3 weeks and if you didn't pre-order you're SOL. I haven't pre-ordered yet and was wondering if I should. I have heard a lot of stories about people pre-ordering things and they don't even get it on the release date (lol?). I just want to actually have a copy of BC ON the release date, not a day or two after. :P

I remember being sent out to aquire our origional copies of the game- and finding out that they were sold out pretty much city-wide. When I found a stack of 4 boxes behind a counter getting ready to be shelved- I ninja'd all of them and shipped 2 overnight to buddies.

I'm not hopeful that they'll be able to keep appropriate amounts on the shelves this time =(

Pre-order it from Ebgames/Gamestop store to make sure you get it day one. Ordering it online will take a day or two to get to you, unless you wanna spend extra money to get it faster, and even then it's not a guarentee it'll get to you before they stop sending out the mail that day.

See, I was exactly 14 people away when they ran out of copies at the Frys launch event. You heathen buggers are too smug in bourgeois pettyness. Suffer. Do it!

Anyway, BC. I preordered.

You see this is where having a job in the industry really pays off :P
