I'm not sure yet. I doubt our Walmart will have the darn game until next week (they're really slow at getting new games for some reason...), but still... I can see myself going just to be certain.

Ugh, why do you have that hideous avi in your sig. It reminds of some crazy spearchucker everytime I see it.

Quick, somebody hit it with a sealed J sword http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Some Walmarts are open 24/7. Here in Alabama, where I'm currently living, the majority of them seem to be like that. It's still a new concept to me. I just moved to this area recently, and where I came from we didn't have 24/7 Walmarts, either.

Super Wal-Marts are 24-7
I won't be going unless I want chicken wings at 3AM again. Oh, GOD, that was a bad weekend.

I'd watch out for those iso leaking teams, you never know what they might do to leak a free copy... he he he.

I will probably drop by mine but not expecting the game to be there as they usually get games in two to three days late. Worst case scenario I end up with a midnight snack after work.

Strange...the Wal-Mart that I work at isn't a Supercenter and it's open 24 hours.

We don't have Supercenters he in this area of California, and all the Wal Mart's are 24 hours

he says we got a shipment in on Friday to ready out for Oct.24 or 25. At first, I thought he was lieing then he took me to the back and showed me a box that had a sega note on it. it said something like,"DO NOT SELL TILL OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE"..I was like =O..maybe its da strategy guide..He opens it and I see about 7 X360 PSU and about 10 PS2 PSU..I couldnt tell if there were any PC ones...THEN I WAS REALLY HAPPY yet MAD...I begged him to sell it to me but he couldnt..I still got to see the REAL game infront of my eyes..Unless they were store display copies( I dont think walmart has any) then it's totally real...
IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE =O

I'll stop by mine, but I'm not getting my hopes up. You should see some of the people that work there.

One of the cashiers is cool, though. He looks just like Mr. Miyagi.

Just called walmart now, they said they are unpacking thier shipments. So I'm going there tonight at midnight(just under 2hrs). They said they would sell it to me after midnight ^.^

Would I get my pre-order money back from Gamestop if I blew them off and got it from Wal-Mart instead?

You can move the EB/GS preorder to another game, but I don't think you can get your money back.

After taking my paxil, I decided I can wait until tomorrow and pretend I still have a life outside of waiting for the next great game to come out, regaurdless of how true/untrue this may be, I'll get it when I come home from school tommorow, beat the story mode and then decide if I feel like getting online which I most likeley will for lack of wanting to miss out on any rare halloween clothes that may make an appearance, seeing how it used to be my fav holiday till marketing had to go and puss it up... <BITTER> lol, I'll see you all online I guess

Oct 23, 2006, 10:41 PM
Sighs ebgames told me a week ago theyd have it on the 25th, id better call tomarrow to make sure, rather not drive to the mall omw home from work to find out someone screwed up.

holy shit. this is to wierd. i live like 20 minutes from leesburg

Oct 23, 2006, 10:43 PM
This is bullshit. None of the Wal-Marts around me say they have it, but it didn't sound like the clerks were even taking the time to check.

Oh well. I'll drive around and check them out anyway after midnight. I've already come up with a convenient excuse to take off work tomarrow, so why not?

Same here - I'm going to go check out Wal-Mart if my roommate comes with me. If not screw it I'll get it tomorrow after work.

haha, I'll just pick mine up tomorrow at my local Gamestop (provided they got it in) since I preordered it.

Oct 23, 2006, 11:07 PM
I'll stay up all night, then wake up in the late afternoon, then the fateful call if they have PSU in stock at gamestop, itll be late afternoon so I'll be able to drive with my mom to pick it up, if not, I'll be pissy all afternoon and I might just play FFXI til the next day >< UGH I've got this ALL planned out.. booya...

Oct 23, 2006, 11:26 PM
I really don't think wal mart will have it at midnight. I used to work there a while back and game shipments always came between 7 and 11 am, NEVER at midnight nor did we have them before with a release date. They only do that on systems. That means we gotta wait guys http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif. Oh well, it's close enough, EB and GameStop both confirmed to have it tomorrow.

I wonder if Ebgames will get their shippments the same time Walmart does.

ZeroVer01
Oct 23, 2006, 11:32 PM
Nope, wal mart uses their own distribution centers, ebgames/gamestop use couriers.

Kontra_Bandit
Oct 23, 2006, 11:33 PM
but i'm sure it will be generally about the same time. I don't get off until 5 so I gotta wait till then anyway.

I called a couple walmarts, and theres only one 24 hour walmart and they say theyre gonna release it a little after midnight. I'm gonna check it out and post if i get it or not. Its the one in union city, CA btw.

Funny thing though, I remember the Halo release party in LA (one of them) Most everyone was lined up outside Gamestop/EB etc etc. The lines were ridculous. Then some random dude flew down the middle of the mall screaming, "THEY HAVE IT AT WAL-MART!!!! and theres NO LINES!!!!"

Immediatley, (including myself) like 200 people started racing out the nearest exits. Ahhh, good times http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Called both my local Walmarts. Warsaw won't get it in until 2pm tomorrow - and they don't know if they'll sell it right away. Columbia City told me to wait until 7am and then call back to talk to the electronics manager, or whoever.

I talked to both stores last week, and they each said it would be for SALE on the 24th... but of course, they were probably just talking out their ass to get rid of me so they could go back to playing Guitar Hero.
