Pre-order???

[Kadaj117]

I live in Canada, Alberta. If I went down to my EB Games and wanted to pre-orderd PSU right away could I? Or would they not have heard of it yet??

[CpwninOBrien]

id call them but i live in USA

[Zaiden]

I Pre-Ordered it today. Don't live in Canada though, US here.

I'm not sure if you could, probably best to call and find out.

[Kadaj117]

Alright Ill probably do that I guess.

I preordered my 360 copy a little over a week ago. I'm sure it'd be no different in Alberta. (I'm in Ontario)

[Kimil]

Lol, what about for Me? I live way north in Yellowknife NWT

[Flamingo99]

Why don't you call the store to make sure?

If you ask to pre-order a copy of PSU and they can't figure out what you're talking about, then by all means, post signs all over the storefront declaring that they don't actually sell games at this retail location, and that people interested in purchasing such items will just have to go elsewhere to get their fix.

Canada is getting the game at the same time as the United States. They have it on their list here, so if they don't have it on their list there, then they're really off the ball.

I work at a retail store that sells video games (it's a fairly large chain, though I'd rather not give the name) and I can tell you that we do NOT have a UPC or SKU in our system for the 360 version of PSU. Some stores legitimately may not be able to order it yet.
Remember folks...do NOT take out your frustrations on the guys (or gals) working inside these places....they put up with a lot of crap and being nice to them will help you immensely down the road if you're a full-fledged gamer. Don't get all whiney and counter-poundy, but rather try to understand that a lot of this crap is out of their hands and often up to buyers and corporate staff who, most likely, don't know anything about games other than "they make money, let's sell them."

In my 4+ year experience dealing with video games on the retail level, it's not so much a sign of delay as it is a sign of how generally out of it corporate buyers are. My guess is that our game buyer simply doesn't care. He was sent a release list of stuff, saw a new PS2 game, put THAT in the system, but failed to note (or care) that it was a triple platform game because it didn't have a name attachment to it like Final Fantasy or Madden or something like that. Believe me, it's true. The games that matter most to you and I often go unnoticed when people like that can't see the immediate value of it. I put an email into our corporate about getting the UPCs for the PC and 360 versions, so we'll see where that goes. But, seriously, it's not a delay...just the usual for some stores.

I wonder if I could pre-order the EU version. I'll go ask soon at Micromania, since they're always the first to get the stuff in Cote D'Azur...
