I just called the local Gamecrazy up here in the Seattle area. The guy told me they already have the shipments in, but they were told they can't break street date. The weird thing is that their website now says "release date: 3/3/08". I told him that, and he then put me on hold and checked something, then said no, sorry, they are still on strict orders that they can't sell them until 3/4. He had no idea about the 3/3 date, but again, they were told personally do not sell it until tomorrow morning. It was worth a try anyway!

Funny, just saw an ad for the game on Deadspin that says "Available Now!". FYI went to the Best Buy on 23rd & 6th in NYC, no luck.Comment

Re: Possibilty that no one is getting it early?
I went to Blockbuster to see when they are getting it. For those who do not know, they have great trade in values compared to EB games and Gamestop. I just traded in Madden 08 about a month ago and got $35 back, where as I'm sure I'd be lucky to get 10 from the game stores.
Anyways, they do not have it, and they said they won't get it until March 7th. Now I'm trying to decide if I should wait or trade it in somewhere else and lose out money.
Anyone else know if they are getting it on the 7th?Comment

We are supposed to be getting 4-8 inches of snow tonight.. wish I had the game.
My gamestop told me it hasn't arrived yet and they are expecting it tomorrow morning. I might have to make that trip and then tell my boss I can't make it into work.Comment

Re: Possibilty that no one is getting it early?
I live in a small town in which there are only 3 stores that sell video games, 2 of which are big box retailers and I checked all 3 today with no luck. The funny thing is they all had MLB 08:The Show available for sale which is extremely rare in this town as stores hardly ever get games early.
Considering MLB 2K8 has had very little info released, no Demo, and now MLB 08:The Show is available before it screams terrible marketing campaign by 2K Sports if you ask me. In the end 2K will probably lose a boat load of sales due to this whole ordeal.Comment

Ya, I hope to never again see marketing and hype as bad as what 2K has done this year. My friend who is a 2K baseball fan responded when I told him that 2K was coming out tomorrow "oh......I didn't even know that was coming out this year". That's how bad a job 2K did.Comment

Check Walmart. On their website, it says they have it in stock and the release date as 3/3. I already put down money at Gamestop, so I'm just going to wait until tomorrow.Comment
