    Re: OFFICIAL: How Will You Get NBA 2K16 Early Thread!

    This is one of the best times of the year. Last year I was so thirsty for the game that I went on the hunt to get the game early. Here are my suggestions for anybody that can't wait.

    Get the man in charge involved!
    Many of the major retailers have it in their POS systems to display a message when someone rings up the game before the release date. However, this can be overided. The manager should have acids they can enter. You just have to give them a good enough reason. Whether you are being belligerent or make them feel sorry for you.

    Find the shady employee!
    We all know they are out there and can sometimes be easy to spot. Let them know you don't need a receipt and just need them to give you the game and you will have their money plus a tip. Remind them they can always ring the game up later so the inventory is correct.

    Both methods worked last year. However I somewhat felt bad because someone could have lost their job over it. Getting the game mad early was awesome though! Luckily I have so many projects going at work this year, I am not as tempted to give in to the thirst. Good Luck!!!!!

        Anybody know if Green Man Gaming will release the codes in the next couple days here so we can preload NBA 2K16 through STEAM? I'm considering preordering through them because the PC edition is only $48 through them, but I'm curious if they'll get the codes out early so we can preload and play on Thursday at 12 PST on Steam.

          Yeah I've never had a problem with ShopTo. Received Hitman Absolution a full week early. Received other games the day before or two days before.

          Always had the game on the day of release at the latest.

          I'm just stressing there's no email yet hahahaha.

              Reminder, please don't post the name of the store in which you purchased the game, or have purchased in the past. Its a rule in these threads that deal with getting the game prior to release date.

              I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

              I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                  Should be sending them out in time for the early access.

I got burned on Madden by the infamous "LA Guy", so I'm forever weary lol. Hopefully I'll be playing by this time tomorrow
                    I haven't heard anything back from him since this morning and haven't received a tracking number either. Won't return my emails either

                              Sorry to post in this thread, but do not want to start another. For Gamestops midnight sale on Thursday...from what I've read it is a rolling one, aka once it is 1201 eastern time, you can get it at 1101pm ct, 1001pm mt, and 901pt. Is that correct guys?

                              I called the Gamestop I pre-ordered from last night and he was like "idk for sure" and I'm like geez, I do not wanna get there at 1101pm (I'm on CT in TN) and have to wait one hour. I will call them back Thursday I guess. Sorry for this in this thread, but in a way I am getting it early lol
