    Re: Backbreaker For Sale on Saturday, Call Your Local Gamestops

    Note to those who are in Toronto:

    Called the EB at the Eaton Centre, they said they have it in. Both PS3 and 360.

    Now I'm debating if I pull the trigger...

      This isn't the first game they've done this with. They did the same thing with Modern Warfare 2. The owner of my local Play N Trade gets pissed at our two Gamestops because they're always doing this to her and it costs her preorders.

      Its got nothing to do with the AI issues, its more about capitalizing on sales early.
      considering most Gamestops have only kept 2-5 copies of the game in stock, i doubt theyre doing it to steal customers and corner the Backbreaker market. If you dont constantly go to video game sites you most likely have never even heard of this game.

        Ya know, I've been having the same issue since last night Spear. But today I realized my credit card bill for this month is a lot less than I anticipated. So why the heck not right? I'm going to get it now.

          I'm not going to the eaton centre...i hate going there. There are 2 EB's close to me, one walking - if the walking one has it I'm going hands down, anything else I probably can't as I'm throwing a party tonight.

          plus rashad rampage tonight

          edit: my local EB won't sell it - he was like the street date is in the computer and there is no way that's going to change. I told him Eaton Centre is doing it and he said they will get in trouble most likely - guy was a douche. I know he didn't actually really look into it or anything.

              What location? I might head to my local one, if not I might bite the bullet and go down to the Eaton Centre.

                    I know this place that always breaks street dates if they think you're alright, it's gameshack at bloor and yonge in a little strange mini-mall. They make you pay cash though and make it so there is no change. I want to pay visa, so I'm not doing that.
                    It was some dude at the Eaton Centre who told me they were selling it. I'll call again before I head down.

                    Yeah the Yonge and Eglinton EB told me the same thing yesterday. I'd try Game Shack but I have an EB card that I want to use up.

                    EDIT: Called them all (including the girl at the Eaton Centre), all of them are saying June 1st now. Once again us Canadians get the short end of the stick. The one guy at Dufferin said they had it but can't sell it till the 1st.

                        Just got mine. I love you Madden guys, but this game is working on a different formula and cheaper. I couldn't say no. I'm on the rocks with Madden. I'm leaning toward skipping this year.

                            Did you call the store in Hiram by any chance? When I went this morning the girl said someone called last night and she had no idea what they were talking about. They have the game in stock in the back.

                              Just picked mine up as well, traded in some old games and ended only paying 10 bucks and change for BB. Im almost positive its worth at least that lol.

                                I went ahead and picked mine up. I don't know if I'll open it, maybe after reading some more about it.


                                My Gamestop didn't even know they could sell it. I had to tell them to read their email. They had 6-8 copies for 360 and 1-2 for PS3. I guess they aren't thinking many PS3 users will buy.
