lol, i'm ridding myself of the "gotta have it on launch day" syndrome...too pricey for me

but yeah, Halo and/or Halo 2 is still the best game of all time, except maybe Godeneye for N64. Those 3 games were like to the max

11/8/2006 1:23:21 PM

There is no and/or Halo2.

Halo2 was stupid.

Halo was coo.

I'll have more to say on this game after I get my dirty mitts on it tonight.

11/8/2006 1:34:47 PM

HAHAHAHAH azaka and I walked into best buy and got handed the very last 2 copies lolz

11/8/2006 1:44:51 PM

haha nice

11/8/2006 1:46:22 PM

Whats the name of that song in the TV commercial and who's it by? Pretty kickass.

11/8/2006 1:52:17 PM

The Gary Jules(sp?) cover of Mad World by Tears for Fears I believe, and yea I managed to get to best buy around 1:15pm and they had like maybe 8 or 10 copies of the game left. Not to mention I saw about 6 people throughout the store with it in thier hands haha. This is definately going fast guys.

Best Buy at White Oak only had the damn Collector Edition's in stock.

I'm thinking about returning it and trying to get the regular one if it is in stock when I go home.

11/8/2006 2:00:45 PM

this is better than halo...friggin awesome.

berserkers are insane.

im buying xbox live now bc this is sweet

11/8/2006 2:08:22 PM

Got a stupid automated call from EB.

"Due to an unfortunate shipping problem Gears..... of .... War may not be available today. Please call your local EB to confirm"

Of course the phone is busy.

11/8/2006 2:11:53 PM

Yea, I went to EB first. They said their shipment got held up in TN. They said some stores (Smithfield) had received a few copies of the Collectors Edition but that was about it.

11/8/2006 2:13:38 PM

just beat the berserker, friggin insane...

if it's eb crossroads they won't have it.

11/8/2006 2:22:03 PM

went to Best Buy at 1:30...got like one of the last 5 copies they had...i called eb and said fuck you and to transfer my $5 to Rainbow Six Vegas...

CHRONIC NARNIA if anyone wants to get a TWW multiplayer game later around 930-10 or play coop...

11/8/2006 2:28:02 PM

theyll let you transfer monies to another preorder title?

11/8/2006 2:33:57 PM

yeah, i bet you can get your $5 refunded...like if you preorder a ps3 and they dont get it in, you can get your $100 back

11/8/2006 2:37:15 PM

Any word from the White Oak EB? I'm guessing all the EB's in the area don't have it.

11/8/2006 2:40:03 PM

damn its sweet, theres definitely a learning curve on the controls

keep calling Circuit City at Crossroads, they said by 5pm today

...im assuming BB is all out now

also, i had to turn up the brightness x2 so i could see...maybe my tv is just dark

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 2:46 PM. Reason : yeah]

11/8/2006 2:42:44 PM

wait , by 5pm today you mean that's when CC is expecting them?

I really don't want to eat the 5$ from ebgames and then turn around and splurge a Collectors Ed (only thing in bestbuy here)

11/8/2006 2:51:17 PM

White Oak said they might be getting a shipment of it in later today but most likely it would be tomorrow. Best Buy at White Oak had quite a bit of them left but they are behind the customer service desk.

I'm down for some action later.

11/8/2006 2:51:42 PM

Yeah.. no go at White Oak EB but i'm just gonna wait till tommorrow. $5 off my pre-order b/c of the screw up. Waited this long. No big deal.

11/8/2006 3:00:56 PM

they aren't doing that 5 dollars off thing at all ebgames are they?

11/8/2006 3:04:33 PM

in CC's sunday ad, it said by 5pm on Wednesday (you get a free GOW faceplate too)...id give them a call now and see if they got it in yet...

game is crazy, 10pm tonight, whos in? leave your gamertag shit

11/8/2006 3:11:15 PM

I'm in (if i can find one....screw you ebgames).

kainen1

add me anyway b/c i'm cool like that.

11/8/2006 3:13:18 PM

Don't know if they are going the $5 off at all of them or not but the guy at white oak diff said that when I come pick it up tommorrow it will be $5 off.

11/8/2006 3:18:00 PM

while my roomate is playing this...that sounds good since you paid $5 to get it today and they dont have it so they should pay for your preorder

11/8/2006 3:21:45 PM

i just want them to transfer it to my acct as store credit. seems like not a lot to ask.

11/8/2006 3:24:43 PM

im pretty sure you can, i called the eb where i preordered gow and said can i put the $5 on a different game and they said yes...i mean i could go in and get tony hawk 8 or cod3 and use that $5 towards it...

anyways, im going on live now to check it

11/8/2006 3:28:16 PM

CC and BB at Crossroads are a no go. CC says it will not be in until tomorrow.

BB had alot of copies of COD3

I am uber pissed.

11/8/2006 3:40:36 PM

yeah they had cod3 and i saw someone had tony hawk 8 but i didnt see it on the shelf (but i was in a hurry to get home and play)

just played 2 matches on live...i can see how everyone will play on live all day

also, how do you play with 2 players on the same xbox? it has the split screen option for single player but it says you need to sign in, do you need 2 xbl accounts? i cant figure it out...

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 3:47 PM. Reason : yeah]

11/8/2006 3:45:37 PM

holy crap, so bb.com says that the capital store has collectors editions in....but my gf stopped by on the way from work and they said they are clear out, and they've called around to other stores for availability and they are plain sweeped out.

WTF Is GOING ON DAMMIT lol

11/8/2006 3:51:22 PM

Anyone know if Toys R Us has it or Target?

11/8/2006 3:55:42 PM

aparantly all eb games dont have shit cause the shipment is in memphis?

but he said there is an article about it on ign.com

anyways, looks like I am down 1 GoW gamez0r.

NEED MAS BLOOD!

11/8/2006 4:00:11 PM

walmart guys? i feel bad for you, youre missing out

11/8/2006 4:03:30 PM

Gah, I hate this crap.

11/8/2006 4:05:46 PM

Walmart doesnt have em.

Target just told me they have some in for sure, but they can't 'break the release date' til tomorrow.

WTFlying SHIT!

11/8/2006 4:12:05 PM

tell them to call best buy, yesterday was release date, id go in there and argue

these BB stores have it...

Durham-raleigh NC 5454 New Hope Commons Dr, Durham, NC 27707
Burlington NC 1465 University Dr, Burlington, NC 27215

id buy it online and say store pickup at new hope commons, they have to save you one then.

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 4:15 PM. Reason : yeah]

11/8/2006 4:14:20 PM

not worth all that. i called two targets, tried to argue and they said 'but our ads say it wont be in til tomorrow so we can't put them on the floor'

lol

11/8/2006 4:17:25 PM

^ no they dont. apparently the system is screwed up because in bestbuy they checked with the durham store and they were out. It says capital has collectors edition but they didnt have any of those.......so at this point I don't trust best buy.com at all...nor wish to put money down to have it delay, backorder, or otherwise just crap out.

11/8/2006 4:18:39 PM

show em the BB ads

11/8/2006 4:18:41 PM

Bah its not worth driving that far IMO.

11/8/2006 4:20:43 PM

the system that links their instore stock to website is always off.

Its either shitty fucking design and doesn't update in real time, or employees are stock piling copies.

11/8/2006 4:23:00 PM

so whos added me as a friend, ive had 3 friend requests today and ive played with you guys so who am i playing with online?

CHRONIC NARNIA

11/8/2006 4:24:43 PM

walmart has em.

11/8/2006 4:55:57 PM

i told ya'll to check walmart!

11/8/2006 4:57:33 PM

Which Walmart?

11/8/2006 5:00:35 PM

Walmart at Garner didn't have them. I say its a bluff that any would.

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 5:35 PM. Reason : ]

11/8/2006 5:35:44 PM

Best Buy on Glenwood has at least 7 left. I just got mine. This game is fucking sweet.


and Halo 1 & Halo 2 were awesome but this is on a completely different level

11/8/2006 5:44:21 PM

wait they do? Collectors edition?

11/8/2006 5:46:19 PM

HEADS UP. GO TO GARNER STORE. they said they had a whole box full.

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 5:52 PM. Reason : Best Buy]

11/8/2006 5:52:46 PM

went to CC near Crossroads, but they had a sign saying they wouldnt sell them till 10 am tomorrow

Im Squadoosh whenever I pick it up
