Apparently local Best Buys have the game but won't sell it until tomorrow. I was kind of annoyed at the conversation actually..
Me: "Do you have any copies of Super Mario Galaxy in stock?"
Him: "We have 75 copies in, but I won't sell them to you yet."
Me: [confused by phrasing] "Can't or Won't?"
Him: "Our database shows it is released the 13th."
Me: "Really? Nintendo's official site shows the 12th."
Him: "Hmm, ok I will have to check personally, can you call me back?"
Me: "I suppose...."
I call him back 30 minutes later...
Me: "So did you find the info?"
Him: "Yes, Nintendo's site has it listed as today, but our site has it listed as tomorrow."
Me: "Great so you can sell me a copy since you know its off right?"
Him: "No! Thats not what I said!"
Me: "Uhm, ok, but then what was the point of checking Nintendo's website if you weren't going to release it anyways?"
Him: "I can't sell it early, you will just have to deal with it."
Me: "Wow, nice customer service skills....have a nice day."
I understand he doesn't want to get in trouble...but the way he basically says yup I have copies but you can't have them was pretty lame. But the really annoying part was having me call him back despite never intending to release it. And the part that was over the top was "just deal with it". In any case, I will probably get it from TRU tomorrow since he won't sell them today, TRU has a better deal and in general I don't feel like patronizing their store any time soon after that.
Kind of funny since BB has been selling it for a week now in some places =P
