Ok Fellas, Who's hunting this year!?!??!?!?

[TheGamingChef]

I ran around last year looking for it for a while (and failed)... but not this year. This year I'll probably look at one or two places halfheartedly... but if I have it on the 17th, I'll be happy.

I don't think I've ever heard of it before.

I haven't heard of it either here or at Utopia. I'd think there'd be a chance there is a Mom & Pop store in Boston who would though. Oh and when you're at UMass never expect to see anything at the Hampshire Mall release something early and the EB there really sucks.

C&C Games, I love that place!!!!

EG...I know you always get it early.

Drive your hour and a half and buy two copies this summer.

Last year I looked high and low and actually found it on a Saturday afternoon which I had never done before.

I recommend all of you try Blockbuster Video, the ones with the Gamer Zone or whatever it is called. Thats where I lucked out last year.

Make it three! Us Massachusetts folks need our fix too.

Two years ago I picked it up about a week early at a local Target.

Last year, I was in Hawaii during the time of release and thought maybe
I'd get lucky and find it. I popped into a Kmart and Walmart, but no luck.

This year, I'll probably call a few places in the area. We've got a ton of Targets and a few Walmarts around here. I've read in some places this game gets sold out and there are long lines, etc., but we don't have that problem here, so I'm not worried about them running out.
