So I go and get her and ask like a dummy "Can I have a copy of NCAA football 07 for xbox 360 please?" shes like..sure. At this point i can just imagine holding it and getting to play it..She goes to the counter and grabs a copy then stops. She looks at it and then tells me that these are display boxes and they were putting them away. Of course now im crushed but on Monday or Tuesday I know exactly where to go and try it again. She didnt even mention a street date or seem to know there is one. If thoes copies were not empty displays......

Oh God... I'm so going to TRU then!

I have to admit, I love reading these posts. You guys are a riot. Hope does spring eternal. I did score a couple of early copies last year like many of you by getting an unsuspecting high school kid to get me a copy out from the storeroom in a Target. "Yes, I just saw those in the back a couple of minutes ago. I don't know why they're not in the display case. I'll go get you one." Last evening I decided to go out and make some "rounds" to see what I could find. My first stop was my local EBgames store. I buy all my stuff there so I feel the manager would give it too me straight. I simply asked upon arrival why he didn't have NCAA '07 playing as the demo. (especially since many here on the boards have stated that EBgames have them already) He said, "Man, are you kiddin'! We don't have them yet. If we did it would be up and runnin' and you and I both would be playin'." Simple enough. I figure if EBgames didn't have it yet why waste my time runnin' around looking elsewhere. But it sure is fun reading about the possibilities.

If the Admins for the game fansites, like Operation Sports, dont have a copy of the game to preview, then it isnt in the stores yet. IMO
