    Re: Already shipping at gamestop.com

    I dislike all this release date crap. I have homework to do. The game comes out when it comes out.

        Re: Already shipping at gamestop.com

        Well, I just ordered from Gamestop.com with overnight shipping. If I get a shipping confirmation I'll post it here. Hey, at worst it'll be 1 more week. No sweat. But I'll say this about forum admin over at the other site: he doesn't always know whats going on. He was wrong about the first big vid release over there, wrong about the price, (locked all kinds of threads about the $20 price)and hopefully he will be wrong or, to be fair, un-informed about the shipping date. This isn't the first time during the 2k5 titles that the game was shipped before the "Gone Gold" notification.

Every night when they close thier store they put thier POS (machine where you purchase your game at) in whats called "trasmission mode" and at night it dials out like a modem to corporate office and downloads all the latest dates, shipping info, etc. They also get an email transmission that automatically prints out on the printer under the counter so the next moring when they come in, there is a printout on the floor. Also the packing lists for games are on this as well. My theory is the site got updated because they do that at the corporate office. They updated the date in the computers too but the stores wont get that update until transmission tonight. I can remember when i worked for one we would come in the next day to open up and part of the printed out email would be "So and so game will be arriving in your stores today Via Fed Ex/UPS, if your product does not arrive today please contact the warehouse at 1800........."

                So when you call...sometimes you get some surfer dude who looks in the computer and hes like 'woah..umm..duh..um..dude it says march 1"..or sometimes they look a few days ago and remember the date so when people ask they just tell you the last good date they saw in the computer.

                They will be on the shelf tommmorrow im 99.9% certain...if for some reason some stores dont get them tommorrow, they will get them wed. for sure...and im not making this up. I used to Manage Babbages store number 242 (which is part of gamestop)
                Yep, I used to be a GM for Gamestop too. He isnt lying. The stores computers are always behind compared to the warehouse. The point of sale machines are not updated until the very end of the day. The 'transmission' is last thing we do as managers b4 we lock up the doors for the night.
