So I tried to get Forza 2 today..... Since Monday, I had been calling the various gaming stores, trying to find a copy of it. Unfortunately, Tuesday was when they SHIPPED it to the distributors, not when the game went on sale. So Tuesday passed by with no luck, but promises that it'd come in Wednsday at my local Best Buy and EBGames. I'm at work, so I call both BB and EB. BB says the game isn't in, so my $60 gift card becomes usless. I call EB and they tell me they just got it in. I quickly get off work, and arrive at EB within 45 minutes. 2 guys are in front of me, with the clerk looking upset.... Forza 2 was SOLD OUT by the time I got there. Being rather fusterated, as I've NEVER been to this store in 15 YEARS and had a game sell out, and unable to buy the game, I ask them how many copies they had instock "30 unreserved copies". They were all sold within no more than 3 hours. Grrr. This is a shocker, as I never had any problems just waltzing into an EB on launch day for Fable or Forza 1 and buying a copy. This might mean good sales for Forza today. Finally, I find my local Walmart, and they ended up getting the game in, but didn't have it on display as they only had 5 copies and hid them from consumers, because they didn't want to get pounced on. Fortunately, my brothre was able to coax them to give him the first copy of the day. So there you have it. I'll post reviews tommorow hopefully.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
