Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what it takes to be considered a "video game" vendor? It sure would be nice to be able to order, and receive, the game early because you are a vendor. Do you have to maintain a certain amount of sales or just buy a wholesale license?

Just think, an unofficial OS video game store that periodically orders 2000 copies of a single sports games...hand them out early (allegedly) , ring up the sales the day of release, and everyone is happy.

Thoughts, suggestions, flaming?

I know it's been asked, but anyone with find a place near Raleigh/Durham area?

I'm probably going to head out in a while once it stops raining to look around the Walmarts, KMarts, and Targets of the world.

Toronto watch 2009 continues! I'm determined to find this game early!

The only store to have it is the one we were talking about. I doubt they get it in on a Saturday. But you did say 4pm was a possibility today.

Anyone know where to get it in Minnesota or any surrounding states?

No luck for me anyways, I am in Hudson, WI. Trying wally now. Checked a couple ma/pa shops here and River Falls and no luck.

I've seen it happen before actually. I don't know if they go and pick it up from the distributor directly but they have been known to get stuff in on Saturdays.

Hell, worked at a Blockbuster for a while and we would get stuff in on Saturdays. Rarely, but some shipping companies do deliver from the distributor on Saturdays and even Sundays.

Sweet. Finally someone close to my area. I am in Wichita. If you see anything, let me know as I am willing to drive. I checked everywhere north and south of Wichita and got nothing. If you find one let me know, and I will head up to pick one up after the Uconn game. Thanks.

There's never anything in this area. I'm in Lawrence and went through this wild goose chase last year. I went out looking all over for 3 or 4 days last year. I'm not going to do that again. I just reserved a copy for Tuesday this year.

I'll call in about an hour and then if they don't have it, I'll try a couple of hours later. Don't know if I'm going down unless they have it.

Thanks!

Re: ***The Official When And Where Are You Getting It***

Thanks cubfan4life. I'm going to try Matteson, Orland Hills, and Country Club Hills and sometime today. I'll let you know if I have any luck.

Well, as of early this morning, all of those locations were lights out. I just got back from a 3 hour canvassing of 12 different Walmarts in the extreme southern Chicagoland burbs (including all of the ones you mentioned) and a few in NW Indiana......NO LUCK!!! It may still be possible for them to put it out today I guess.

I even went to my early release spot from last year (Crestwood) and they have it locked down tighter than a 13 year old girl's chastity belt this year!!!

Heck, when a bad english speaking cashier at 7-11 even tells you......"No..No..NO, ve cawnt fell dat, next veek!!" chances are good it's just not in the cards for ya

Any way, if anybody finds it today on south side of Chicago or in NW Indiana, please, please, PLEASE pm me!!!

Re: ***The Official When And Where Are You Getting It***

It appears the RI/Mass area is a no go.

If anyone does find it or knows where I can find it please pm me.

Re: ***The Official When And Where Are You Getting It***

I have had zero luck in upstate NY, albany area. There are seemingly no mom and pops around here. Really getting sick of the phillies and Rays .
I am going to do the wally's circuit at noon, what I dont get is how some folks score at wallys and some get red lighted. You would think they all use the same network-software.
If anyone is up around my way and know of a place, please PM, I will do the same.
