Yikes! Just checked my order...everything looks good. But that really stinks for those who are stuck in that situation.

I did the sign up thing at Gamestop and still have not been called back.

How long ago did you do it? I hear the wait list is huge.



*gulp*

Well, I ordered from Gamestop the day it was announced. I should have mine......but I have to work on Sunday. I was considering waiting until Monday. Now, I can't take that chance.



Wow I got very nervous considering I preordered from bestbuy online. Looks like I ordered early enough though,

On the order details it says.

Order Status:: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 1 - 2 days.

So it seems they are about to ship it out to me.

Best Buy is terrible for overselling things like that, both consoles and games.

I've been screwed on a preorder from them, my brother has had it happen twice just in the past year and my sister had it happen once (got her Special Edition Skyrim two weeks after it came out because they oversold them when she could have walked into Future Shop and simply bought one the day of).

This doesn't surprise me in the least.

I was talking to one of the managers at my local GameStop and he said as long as you come to pick it up in the three days since it launched you'd be fine.

I was the first one at my local one...... But who knows which order they inputed the names.

Oh first is first you should be good. Just read an interview stores have a certain amount for preorders and some they can't let be preordered.



I just got a it shipped email so I am cool.

Thats odd two managers at two different gamestops in Virginia told me I had to pick up my preorder the day of.
