Here's my story guys.... I have had this game ordered since February 2nd on GameStop.com, Major League Baseball 2K5, the PS2 version. At the same, time I ordered MVP 2005, which I am now currently enjoying along with my new copy of Gran Turismo 4 that I picked up yesterday. That aside, on Tuesday my MVP 2005 and MLB 2K5 orders moved into the processing stage, and then my MVP order was shipped and I received a tracking number. This afternoon I received MVP. At the same time, my ESPN order was still processing. So I say to myself, I used overnight shipping on MVP and 2 day on ESPN, maybe they're getting out the overnight orders first, that's why mine isn't shipped yet. However, today, I've been checking my order status on and off to see if my game was shipped. Still Processing. I hear that a bunch of people have picked up the game and many have posted that their game shipped. I finally say, that's it I want this game bad. I call up the store asking "Did you guys get in MLB 2K5 today?" He said, "Yes" and I hung up and headed over to the store. I figured I'd pick up the game for 20 bucks and return the one I get in the mail whenever that may be later on. I see a bunch of MLB 2K5's for XBox, but no PS2 versions. I ask the guy and he says that the game was pushed back to it's original release date, March 2nd, for the PS2 version. WTF mate! Well at least the guy had the right info. But never in my wildest dreams did I think that this game would be released for one console today, and another the next week. It's quite odd, but it looks like us PS2 baseball gamers have to wait a little bit longer for this one. I guess I'll go back to playing MVP and Gran Turismo 4 for the time being.
<b>Another UPDATE....</b>
Earlier I sent an e-mail to GameStop.com questioning what was going on, looking for some info.... Here's my e-mail and the reply I just got afterwards.
To whom it may concern,
Yesterday, upon calling your customer service telephone number, I was
told that my two orders, one for MVP Baseball 2005 and one for Major
League Baseball 2K5 would be shipped out that afternoon. I am happy to
see that my MVP Baseball 2005 order did indeed ship yesterday and is
on its way to my doorstep today. However, my Major League Baseball 2K5
order still shows that it is 'Processing'.
Can you please confirm that my game has indeed shipped? Thank you for
your time and keep doing a great job at GameStop.com!
Dear Customer,
Thank you for writing to us at GameStop.com
The current release date on that item is currently 2/24. Unfortunately,
release dates from the manufacturer do slip which is something that is
beyond our control. Your credit card will not be billed for any
preorder until three days before shipment. At that point, you will be
billed normally and we'll ship your selections the same day we ship them
to our stores.
We value your business and hope to see you soon at GameStop.com
Best regards,
Brent
Good to see that Brent is on top of things! ;o)
