Black Pebble's post is reassuring though. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to sort out.
Guy at my EB said that; at this point, the date's just going to keep moving back in ~3 day increments until they get it in. So I should check in every few days. It was around this point that I walked out of the store, and flipped the clerk the bird as he wished me a nice day. It wasn't his fault, but I needed someone to vent my annoyance at.

Just so everyone knows, I used to work at that EB warehouse in Brampton (was listed on page 2 I think), the place is a sweatshop, crappy pay, they watch your washroom breaks and such and never hire anyone full time, they tell u it's "Temp to Perm" but haven't hired anyone in 2 years.

And if your sick, your fired...

NEVER goto EB.

I'd be more than happy to go somewhere else. Too bad EB is the only store in Canada that carries the physical copy of GR.

I just cancelled my pre-order. I'm done with EB/Gamestop.



Thank you, Champion.

Your choices are better than those in the rest of the world though.Its a small thing, but at least you can get the box and special IOs.

Are we still sure about that at this point?

I still haven't been given any assurance that will be the case. Even though Gamestop.ca has changed to "Usually ships in 24 hours." I called the store I ordered from and they told me to call back tomorrow.

When I went to Gamestop.ca to preorder, it wasn't available, so I put mine in through Gamestop.com. I am SO glad that I spent the extra couple bucks on international shipping instead of cancelling the preorder and redoing it with the Canadian branch.

That's exactly what I did when I saw it was available on Gamestop.ca, really wish I hadn't done that about now. :P
