Its the chase... followed by the thrill of rubbing ur peer's nose in the fact u have it. Not a mean spirited thing but all in fun.

EG, did you get the PM I sent?

Some of us didnt have to hunt either....How about just having the game a week sooner then we thought is joy enough?
The part that doesn't appeal to me with getting the game early is the ordeal in getting it. The calling, staking out stores, etc. I would never turn the game down if someone wanted to sell it to me early, my post just meant that getting it early isn't important enough to me to warrant all the searching for the game. Tomorrow isn't going to require any searching or anything, just walking into Wal-Mart and picking it up. So yeah I'll have the game and play it before rosters come out, but I won't have to do any extra work to get it.

That's how I feel about it.

Me too. I am old and have been let down too many times by video games.
