I want this game so badly. I feel like physically dependant on it. It's like a drug. Not fair, I'm always the one that gets addicted.

I just preorder my games form stores, it's a lot less hassle, and Gamestop is always early with them.

I usually don't bother with preorders, and the case here is no different. I'm just gonna go to the mall later tonight and stop by EB and Gamestop just to see if they have it out. If not, I'll ask a worker there. Couldn't hurt to try.
If not, well no big deal. I WANT the game, but I think I can make it through just one more day of my life without it. Last edited by sabotai : 07-14-2003 at 02:44 PM. |

First off, Ive been adament about disabling or getting rid completely of QOTM but thats not the point. My 'location' has been the same for over a year now, if you have yet to notice that take a look <-----------------OVER THERE I remember a time in sports with no advertising along the baseboards of a hockey rink. A time when players in the South longed to have a gridiron game in the Sugar Bowl which has absolutely NOTHING to do with CELLULAR PHONES. In fact, there were no such thing as a cellular phone. Players actually played for the love of the game, not the money. Dont be mistaken this is a time which we will never see again ( or you have ever seen most likely). I know this. After decades the Rose Bowl has fallen victim to the epidemic of sponsorship and recently a professional football team is affiliated with a friggin bank. And now we are getting excited because we are able to be spoonfed MORE advertising - in an upcoming console game - with little swooshes on pixelated sneakers?!?!?! *shudders*

I'm so pissed right now, I just called all the local shops and they said I'm pretty much screwed if I didn't preorder the game. The one guy laughed when I said I didn't have it preordered then said "good luck". So I emailed Gamestop.
"Backordered? How the hell do I preorder a game then have it backordered? Great now some how I have to find the game in a store which will be impossible unless I have it preordered which I don't because I preordered from you guys. I'm sorry but this is pathetic. My business will go elsewhere from now on." |

I can empathize with GrantDawg completely. It is hard to wait even longer on something that you have been eagerly anticipating, especially when you can see or hear from others who are able to enjoy it. However, I lack patience.
On second thought, maybe this will be a good thing GD. Think of it as a character builder.

I wouldn't call what Balldog said whining. He preordered it and somehow it got backordered. I'd be pretty pissed about that too. |

I preordered through EBgames.com on Friday w/ overnight shipping...i got my tracking # today...
Usually I go to the stores to get it, but last year was such a cluster*** with this release, so I decided to do this. EA always manages to F up this release somehow (wrong dates, etc.) |

I just checked EBworld.com. My order has shipped via FedEx. I reckon it should be at the homestead tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Granted, I wont be there until Sunday, but it will be nice to have it there waiting for me.

Yeesh, I'm afraid to call my local Gamespot right now to find out if they'll recieve it today. I preordered it last night from them.
Living in the midwest can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

From a guy at OS:
"I just called gamestop.com and the LOVELY woman said they just put back ordered on NCAA 2004 so no one else would order. She said ALL pre-orders were shipped out today." |

Did you ask when you preordered? Sometimes preordering means you'll get it when they get it, sometimes stores get shipments on different days. Preordering guarantees you a copy when they come in. Being pissed off at the clerk at the store isn't going to help you any, it's not his fault your game didn't come in.

Ok, went ahead and called and they said there was a 90% chance they'd have it in by 7pm central. While I'd love to start getting excited, if my live experiences have taught me anything, that 10% is going to win out.

Ok, I cancelled my order. Has anyone gotten any kind of confirmation on cancellation? I read the fax, and as long as you tried to cancel and do not open the package you can send it back for a full refund. If it gets shipped and it is delivered you can refuse the order.

I got a call from the local EB today saying that they should have it by the time they open tomorrow. I'm going to call before we head out to dinner to see if they might have gotten it in early.

Saw this on Operation Sports forum:
I just got off the phone with EA Store All Pre-orders for NCAA Football 2004 have shipped out today. If you still want to cancell your order, just refuse delivery from the UPS guy and they will send it back. Probably still gonna try GameStop tonight... |

I bought my copy in Gurnee, and I got the same answer. I work for a company who ships a great amount of product, and I'm guessing they are shipping these same day from the distribution centers. . . The good part is the weather is nice today. If it was raining, the 10% would have come true. |

FYI, http://www.sportplanet.com/ncaa/ncaautopia has guys who got basically the same response from GameSpot preorders - that the 'backorder' status is not correct, and all preorders have shipped. Not sure how true that is... since I'm out the door right now to pick up my copy from the store.

I'm waiting to get mine until Thursday, when the CompUSA I used to work at will be getting it in; I can still get the discount there, and I'm not in THAT big of a hurry to start playing; one or two days won't make that big of a difference in the long run.

i just picked up my pre-ordered copy from EB ! game is looking sweet!
gamble is a 99 @ CB , but only a 72 @ WR ...oh well, jenkins is a 94. coolest feature so far seems to be the receivers looking back for the ball...it's a real nice touch. i also dig the more fluid QB throwing animations...nice, realistic feel to it. back to playing...sturmie |
