If you're on the east side of Cleveland (Ohio), good luck finding a copy, most places I called were sold out and only sold to Pre-Orders. Got the last copy at the EB Games at University Square (for PC).
The closest place that has a copy from me is 1 hr away, and I'm not going to drive that far for it. Gamestop.com was the only website that said that it ships within 24 hours, so I placed my order there. To make a long story short, I mistyped some information on my billing address, and it wouldn't place my order. I re-tried it about 10 times in every possible combination I knew, but still I got nothing. I went to my bank account online to look up exactly how they had my information stored, and noticed that my balance was very low. It turns out that every time I clicked place order with a different combination of billing information, Gamestop put a hold for $41.98 (the grand total) on my account, totaling about $400. I called customer service and they said that after the second time of entering wrong information the website blocked me without even telling me, and I would have to wait 24hours to place my order. Well anyway, I hung up and tried to place my order with my credit card, and what do you know? It went through the first time. I don't even know if I entered my credit card billing information exactly as the bank has it either, maybe they are just more picky with debit because they are taking your money directly rather than some big bank's.
I still think this was some sort of bug in their website, because I don't think a website should hold funds from your account unless the order actually goes through, especially since they don't actually withdraw them until the order ships. Oh well, that $400 will be released back to me in about 24hours.
So anyway, I placed the order today, so they should ship it tomorrow afternoon and I should have it by Friday (overnight shipping ftw)! ^^
Oakland as is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, not the city in California. Thanks though.Originally Posted by Ichthyos

Just picked up my baby at Gamestop. They had 0 copies for PC and PS2 for the general public. Full-paid pre-orders only got them today at the store by me. Clerk told me they have been turning people away all day.
I was told by the clerk at the EB by my office today in no uncertain terms that it is "Gamestop policy to only order games to fill the preorders for a title launch" and that "If you didn't preorder it, you aren't going to get it from a Gamestop or EB until the next shipment."
Apparently, it is the idea of these stores to cram preordering down their customer's throats so they don't overstock an item... what a fucked up way of doing business. I asked the GM there why on earth I would take the time to preorder expansion content for an existing title after being told that only the preorders were filled, and to check back in a couple of weeks.
Just so everyone hates me more.
I walked into anotehr gamestop (closer to my home this time) and got a copy of Treasures without a game reservation. Looks like this place had plenty as well.
I didn't buy the expansion.. oh well
I guess I'll go study now.. 2 weeks til school is out =/
I have a t-shirt that says 'no I don't want a strategy guide',Originally Posted by Melchiah
it needs to have 'no I don't want to pre-order the game either' written underneath it 8)
The preorder bs is really annoying - I don't do preorders because they never get their shit in on-time. Just because their regional buyer at their corporate office can't do sales forecasts worth a shit to determine how much inventory they need isn't my problem![]()
