Backbreaker For Sale on Saturday, Call Your Local Gamestops

Noice! Props to 505 who made the call! I just wish they would've put it out as immediate release. Perhaps I can get a K-Mart employee to sell it today if I can convince them the street date has been broken? Anyone know of official announcements in writing anywhere?

No idea, but my store is only getting 2 (TWO) copies of the PS3 version and he has no reserves of it.

That's the only thing that came to mind for me as well, but I am positive that I can look past this game's negatives.

It's a smart idea to release it before Memorial Day IMO. May sneak a few extra sales. People always like to be surprised with positives. The demo's depth was another nice positive surprise.

I just called my local store, it is indeed out tomorrow.

What is funny is I asked him how many copys do you have, should I reserve it? He laughed and said, actually we dont have a single reservation for this game, and we only got 1 copy of each(ps3 and xbox360). He said, give me your name and I'll hold it for you.

On one hand, Im pretty happy. On the other hand, its pretty sad this game has no reservations. This game is so promising, and easily has potential to be the future of football gaming.

Yeah, I only saw a few commercials on draft night and that is it. I hope that another wave of commercial come out. They definitely need to. Because it is a niche game right now.

Yea, this was probably a gift for the demoralized PS3 owners, and because of the holiday weekend.

Just called 4 GS in a 5 mile radius and ALL confirmed the 29th!
