From San Diego, California- Did the round robin of calls/ visits to most of the regular stores:
-Best Buy: Not in stock, or on the website
-Fry's: Not in stock, or on the website
-Sam Goody's: See above
-FYE: Same story
-Target: Yep
-Walmart: Uh huh.
-Game Crazy: I'll let you take a guess. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dp_nogd.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ng" border="0" alt="dp_nogd.gif" />
Furthermore, for the stores I went to, folks in the Electronics departments looked at me like I was speaking Martian. Expected that from everywhere except Fry's and Game Crazy, so that was a surprise.
Gamestop: Called three different locations, and they're all saying that the game was SHIPPED today, but probably won't be getting to the stores for another day or two. Website tells a similar tale.
Called a local store called Luna Games: They said the game was SHIPPING today as well, and probably would be in stock by the end of the week.
Remind me to thank Playlogic later for all this fun. Hopefully the game turns out to be really good. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
Stay tuned for another update tomorrow, and I'd love to hear about other folks here in the States, if they're having similar experiences.
