US stores with expansion stock on Wednesday?

[Evelyn]

Not sure if this should be here or in advanced, so I'll stick it here for now, please move if needed.

Post here if you know of a store thats selling PC copies today. Store chain especially, location too if you know it would be great. I'll edit this post if it seems like a given chain has it in stock more often than not.

Just got the call 15mins ago, my local Gamestop got their WoTG in first thing this morning.

Clarification: They got their PS2 and XB360 copies in this morning. NOT PC. PC hadn't even shipped yet.
Probably won't arrive in most stores until Friday.

[Phla]

i called around and it seems EB games is getting it in today
best buy i didn't get a clear answer from
didn't call anywhere else but hope this helps

[AzazaelFenrir]

the delay may be regional as well, so if your location isn't your city it would help to have that.

Connecticut seems to have no PC versions at any stores, Bestbuy and Walmart are carrying no copies of any version. =/

[Tirgen]

The Ps2 and Xbox 360 Versions were both available at my local Gamestop first thing this morning. The PC Version was not

This was the Eden Prarie, MN store (they are now out of unreserved copies for PS2)

In South Florida, just called the Gamestop I preordered from and they're telling me it won't start shipping to them until Friday and they won't get it until Monday. Why can't SE just sell expansions online like a normal company would?

Gamestop in Bonney Lake WA (tacoma/puyallup area) said they were expecting today when I called, but their game shipment doesn't come in for a few hours, so I'm calling back later!

Or at least take responsibility for their failure to get the physical disks to their customers on time by temporarily disabling the registration requirement and putting up an official torrent so every PC user can d/l the game and play it during the Thanksgiving weekend without reg codes. Would be a good promotional stunt anyway.

Cincinnati Ohio, Covington Kentucky. Unless this changes those areas will not be getting their shipments today.

The Story: Shows in Computers as still shipping today. (Even with overnight Shipping) It would not arrive until Friday. However the lady i know who works at Gamestop and I both agree SE Would never put Overnight on a screw up of theirs. If the game is put on normal or Two day shipping, you will NOT see the game in stores until Monday Morning. Gamestop in my area did not put Overnight on the box either (Which is an option if SE does not choose to). Which leaves you with two options. If you want a better chance of getting it friday, go to http://www.gamestop.com Order it with Overnight, chances of seeing it on Friday are better Because Overnight shipments will move, ground shipments wont. Black Friday also means ground shipments wont move. Overnight is worth a shot. UPS and Fedex will be moving only overnight shipments during the next two days.

The Alternative: Wait until someone in other areas gets lucky enough to get a NA copy and post the Torrent, buy a 360 or ps2 version and use that code. Biggest Stress on this is MAKE SURE THE TORRENT IS NA not JP or EU. You will not be able to install seprate regional games.

I hope this helps with the confusion. If I find anything more as I go throughout the day about this area I will let you guys know.

PS there is a Shipping station for Gamestop in KY (It's small but still it's there) Unless your Hub comes from Atlanta or Texas, I wouldnt expect to get lucky today. However I am not saying its impossible, just improbable.

I'm going to go pick up my PS2 copy at EBGames now. They called yesterday saying it would be in, and an unknown call came in earlier today...though I was asleep at the time. Located in SE PA.

If you're in Independence, Missouri- Gamestop on Valleyview Prkway has PS2 and Xbox copies in, but no PC from what I understand. They get Fedex deliveries up to four times daily so check back if you have to.

[Goddess]

Curious question... could you use the registration code from the PS2/360 release for the PC? I think so, right?

I was thinking of finishing the torrent and using this to save the 2 days of extra effort....

The general jist of what I have found out today is that, there has been a massive cluster-fuck on the side of most distributors. I have called every video game store within a 20 mile radius from my house. Walmart, Gamestop, toysRus and Banes & Nobles all don't have the game on pc. I have gathered that for some unseen reason, ps2 and xbox players will for once have an advantage. If you have called any of the places I said, check and make sure that they actually have the pc version. (2hrs driving has taught me this)

Central Florida here.

Called every game stop within 10mi (about 25 stores) and I got the most mixed freakin' answers ever. There are two stores in the Florida Mall, and one store said "yes we have it in today" the other store said "we won't have it in till friday" in the same friggin' mall. So i'm like awesome, I go down with my fiance, we go to one, they say they will have it friday, so i'm like "okay must be the other gamestop, don't you two stores talk to each other" guy looks at me like i just insulted his mother, so I leave and go to to the other side of the mall, to the other gamestop, here for some reason it's 10x more busy, so after waiting in line I ask the girl at the counter, she says yes it's in. I get happy and I ask for two copies, then she looks at me and goes, "oh wait it's not in till the 22nd." With Florida Mall a long ass drive (b/c of all the stupid ass tourists/traffic from thanksgiving) and getting my hopes up I was incredibly pissed off. All other gamestops said 22nd, a lot said friday/saturday, and several asked me if I'd like to buy a copy of Mass Effect instead for some odd reason when i was obviously very irrate on the phone. I'll check again in an hour maybe, got a lot of thanksgiving stuff to get ready for and i'd like to get the game beforehand. Btw those of you waiting to d/l from the torrent there is a fix to get around the EU so just download it already and then do the fix which I'm sure somebody will post soon enough. I doubt there will be an NA client torrent since BG is only hosting one.

I'll check for ps2 and 360 games, they should be in but knowing my luck they won't, is there anyway to get the codes from like Playasia or something? I didn't see a way to do it anywhere and I'm really curious. Also, just dl the torrent instead of wasting anymore time if you have access to ps2/360 games/codes save yourself the headache 360 and ps2 users won't have the upper hand b/c computers have torrents and we can just buy one of their games and use the codes, it does work and many people have done it, the codes are regional and not console specific.

I thought mine was bad, they said they wouldn't get it till friday. Tempted to buy the 360 or PS2 Version.

[Ereus]

Figures this happens a few days after I take the HD out of my ps2 and make it into an external HD for my PC. :\

fuck you SE.

[Khamsin]

I know of some Gamestops that had the game yesterday, and others that told me yesterday that they were receiving a shipment today. So add Gamestop to the list of stores with the expansion in stock yesterday/today.

[Lafllaga]

My Gamestop (Northgate Mall, Seattle) says they won't have it until this Friday. Busiest shopping day of the year, and I have to pick my copy up at a mall? {No thanks}
