View Full Version : Rock on, EB!

Apparently, "inclement weather" is to blame for my EB to NOT get NCAA tonight.
I'm SO glad I reserved there rather than the Gamestop that's further away, which happened to get the games in at 5:00 this afternoon and already sold out.
Lessons learned...

Unless when we lost the War of Northern Agression and Georgia became a part of the northeast, then no.... ;P
(That "location" thing under the avatar sure comes in handy!)

That might be the cause, though. The EB said they won't get it until 2AM, and the store closes at 11PM.
Oh well.
I wonder if the weather was the reason for me not getting it either. Oh well, I'll get it tomorrow early in the moenin'.

I could say I told you so............... SO I WILL. I told you so, everyone is going to get it on tuesday, and Electronics BlackMarket is evil. EB is going to say the same thing about Madden, It ships on the 9th, EB will say they will have it on the 9th, however, they will come up with some BS, to cover there first lie, and everyone will get it on the 10th. You wanna know when EB/Gamespot is going to get a game? It's Easy Math.
Shipping Date + 1 Day = Day they will get the game.
(However, you may get about 2% to 5% that may get it on the shipping date)
That's funny no you didn't. People DID get it today. On MaddenPlanet I think maybe of the NCAA crowd, only 25% of us didn't get it. Probably less.

Funny, I see 0% (Taking Scot Out) of us that have the game. :shock: You would think if 75% of the MP people or MM people or whatever you are talking had the game, one of us would have the game.

Maybe everyone's too busy playing to post about it. 8)

Stop being a cry-baby you bitch. I already owned you in chat. You just can't handle the fact that you're wrong.

I know I'm right, and you think you are always right. Your more then welcome in chat if you can follow the rules everyone goes by.
I flooded because you were speaking condescendingly. You kept bringing up the 75% as if it weren't true. So I copied and pasted like 20 posts of people saying they got the game.
I still don't see why you think you're right. You said everyone will get their copy on Tuesday. Guess what, people got it on Monday. You said 0% of All Games got theirs. Guess what ViolentJ has it, so you're already wrong. Just because Tuesday is the official release date doesn't mean that no one will get theirs prior.

Ok I'll take 0% back but still 1 isn't 3/4 people and just stop with your 95% of MM ppl are sports fan shit becasue it's not the same. I warned you once with a kick, and you kept flooding so I did a 5 min kick/ban so you could cool off. However, what you don't know is if you type in !unbanme you can unban yourself. :wink:
Don't fucking lie. After you kicked I stopped.

Yea you stoped :?
That's not what happened on my screen. When I'm done with this Madden game I'll get back to this.
Ok anyway, I didn't get kicked till WAYYY after I stopped. In fact I started saying something after I got kicked and apparently that's not showing up.

Oh I'm happy for you. Some of us have to work to pay the man, but it's better then not working at all.
Some people go to college too. By the way, I pay for all my shit.

Dang, what started off as a simple rant turned into a pissing match...YAY!
If I had gone to Gamestop rather than EB, I would have gotten mine last night at around 8:30PM. They've always treated me right - unfortunately the Gamestop that I used to go to got forced out by the mall, so I started going to the EB in the mall, and this was my first preorder with them.
I'm now considering taking my preorders to the Gamestop that's further away, just because they've always been more reliable.

I did wind up getting mine. Made sure it worked. (I have an Xbox that I bought on launch day with a Thompson Drive.) I even signed into XBL and set up the stuff. Saw Scot online, but didn't bother trying to chat or anything - I was on my lunch break.
Now I'm back at work with the instruction manual, waiting for the clock to tick 4:30 so I can leave (since I came in early today...)
I need to think up the signs I'm gonna make...Hehe...
