I just went to a 24 hour walmart in a town a ways away, and they didn't have it. Not only did I have to deal with quite possibly the most beautiful walmart store room denizen, but we got pulled over. Did I get my copy? Of course not. =/

The average walmart employee doesnt know where the electronics section is, much less the ability to find out if they have psu or not. "Uh ex-bawks three sixtee? I reckon my son has one of them thangs! Lemme go over yonder if see if we got yer game. Bubba! BUBBAAAA!! YA GOT THE KEY TO THE EX BAWKS CASE?! Bring it here fer me! Naw, I dont see it."

QFT!

That sums up my local Walmart experience everytime I try to buy a new game from them. I'm not even going to waste my time asking...if its not on the shelf I'll go elsewhere, I've had enough Walmart employee dumbassedry to last a lifetime.

I plan on hitting up my local Walmart, Target, Ebgames sometime tommorrow morning/afternoon (whenever I can get the hell out of bed) to see if there are any copies available. Next will be the Gamestop, Bestbuy, etc. near my work should that fail.

Seriously, I'd feel like a crackhead if I left my house right now to go look for a copy of PSU at Walmart.

LOL@hiding out in the towel section with your laptop. Let's hope Bubba doesn't catch you hanging out there with a laptop (he might mistake you for a pervert or something). XD

Wal-Mart, 6:30 EST. I got nuthin'. There was an employee opening boxes in the electronics section, but she didn't seem to know anything about the games. She said something along the lines of them not ordering games, but that they just show up, like growing out of the shelves or something. Not very helpful. None of the boxes looked like PC games, so I left and I'll try again later.

I want to call my walmart but if I do I know I'll skip school and work to go get it now. So I'm going to wait till 2PM and then call every walmart in a 30 mile radius. If I was in New Orleans I know I wouldn't have a problem getting this game today however here in Baton Rouge - it's going to be tough.

Now 8:48 EST, and my Wal-Mart says they won't be stocking their games until 4 p.m. now. I saw the Strategy Guide, about 4 copies laying. No good piccys to stare at really, but should help through some missions. Anyway, their listings said it is supposed to arrive today and be put on shelves today, so I'll let you all know at 4 p.m., which is only...roughly 7 hours from now ;_;

This is exactly why I have new releases delivered to my office. I don't have to waste valuable time and energy (and gas) roaming the city or calling stores just to find out that I was mistaken or I had been lied to. Instead, through the magic of the United Postal Service, the game suddenly appears on my desk 1-3 days after its release.

I however do remember as a child being overly excited around release day for several games, now it's sort of amusing to me watching other people go through the same thing. Of course there are more gamers now, and the internet greatly accelerates the flow of information so it's a lot easier to stay excited.

Sooooo.

Basically you're calling everyone who is excited, kids.

Someone is automatically a kid for being overly excited about something they enjoy doing?


Scratch this post. You're almost 30; a lot of us are kids, lol. My apologies.

Holy moly, it highly offended me... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Anyways.. Ordering it is probably very nice, and much less worryful(real word?) of getting it or not.

Cus games ship overnight. If it ships today that means 25th in stores.

There are a few exceptions, stores that are close to their DCs and on the coasts.

Same here. I'd wait until later in the day when they get their last shipment. Walmarts are huge, they have more than one delivery a day.

Can't wait!

I just checked my local Walmart, midnight on the 25. It's not on the shelves, and the manager was out that night so the guy "in charge" didn't have the authority to go in the back and check for it. Bah. I went to Col. City and they didn't have it either. Said to check back at 8am when either someone with the authority to check the warsaw store is in, or when the UPS truck comes to the Col. City store.
