Go Badgers! But WTF is Pamida? Never heard of it and I've lived here my whole life.

Over at gamefaqs someone posted:

"Phillip Ripper: I recently ordered Halo 3 before noon at your website. I've talked to a few people who have gotten tracking numbers and been told by our representatives that they would be receiving their copy tomorrow.

Phillip Ripper: Your representatives rather.Tammy, Lan and Skylar have all told people they would be receiving their shipments tomorrow or Friday. I was wondering why some people are being told the shipments are being sent

Tyrone: This is incorrect unfortunately. We've have a barrage of emails on this subject.

Phillip Ripper: And others are being told not till the 25th.

Tyrone: It's just some people aren't really gamers and don't understand that these games can't legally be shipped and delivered before the street release date.

Tyrone: We would probably be fined or something like that if that was the case.

Phillip Ripper: So theres not a chance copies are being sent out early? What about for people whose tracking number is already sent?

Tyrone: What I was informed of is UPS has specific instructions not to delivery these shipments until the 25th.

Phillip Ripper: So even if you guys ship it tomorrow and UPS gets it with one day shipping, they will not deliver it till the 25th?

Cont'D next post. "

Still awaiting the next post, but doesn't look good at all... :(

What the hell, that's fake :

"Tyrone: It's just some people aren't really gamers and don't understand that these games can't legally be shipped and delivered before the street release date."

Gamers? A rep just said that? Right.

Considering I don't have a car and that I can't run more than about two miles without dieing, I guess I'll have to stick with... sigh... Halo 2 for a few more days.

Unfortunate, isn't it? :lol
 
Paul B: Hello Salina
Paul B: I have a question about my order
Paul B: First of all, is there any way my order will arrive by friday? I've been hearing alot of things about it not arriving until the 25th
Salina: The item is not released until 09/25. If the order ships out today would normally get it on Monday, however it won't be delivered until 09/25.
Paul B: Okay, thank you


We're all fucked.

Aleman said:
Madison, but actually you could just go by yourself, buy two copies, and send me one.
Yeah madison is alittle out of the way isn't it.

That is a long ass trip, especially since there is no way I can get there before 9.
 
Victoria: This actually item cannot be delivered until the 25th of this month. Although it may ship out today or tomorrow it will not be delivered according to release date until the 25th.
Me: So I ordered overnight shipping... it will not be at my house until Sept. 25th?
Me: or later?
Victoria: It should be delivered on the 25th.
Victoria: We apologize for the inconvenience. But according to Microsoft this game cannot be released until the 25th.
Me: Ok. I would like to cancel my order then

Fuckadoodle-doo. I can't wait till Tuesday

:rollseyes

Relax, Wisconsinites. They're wise to what's going on. Looks like the lucky ones that have it are an exclusive club. :(

I just talked to a high school friend and the store is still selling them. He asked how many they went through and the clerk said that it's been really slow for the game today. :lol
 
Regarding the NewEgg situation; by the looks of things they only have a handful of people manning the Live Chat, all of which probably sit literally feet away from each other, so I'm pretty sure they would have started to discuss amongst themselves as to why every single customer is so interested in exactly the same question.

If they aren't going to ship and deliver them early now, then you guys only have yourselves to blame by spamming their Live Chat with the same question.

See you all on the 25th. :lol

How many posts to do I have? I need to catch up...

I went to 3 7-11s. Two of them had no idea what a Halo was and the other just kept saying "I'm sorry, I can't help you".

Oh well.

Are we getting a pre-launch surprise?! You know, I thought it would be awesome if Bungie had this huge download ready for midnight on the 25th. So even if you got it early, you couldn't spoil it because, well, it wasn't there. Like a new MP map or something along those lines.

I'm going to try some of the video shops on State St here. They're run by a bunch of hippies afterall.
Dude tell the homeless people you will give them a dollar to distract the cashiers while you go into the back and steal a copy.

I'd rather give the homeless guy a dollar to steal it for me.

Well all they do is stand there every day.
I have a friend who goes to college there, and she could tell us where every one was before we could even see them.

It's got to be damn cold in the winter.

Well shit, they must really not know what is going on over there. I was told they don't have it by one person, then told they couldn't sell it by another. Regardless, I'd never make it there by 9PM anyway. :(
