This is a preemptive attempt to provide a place for posts of joy if GameStop and the others are correct or murderous rage if they are wrong...

Just imagine if this ship date is a glitch no one has caught on to, I do believe a riot or two might be in order...

I think if everyone in the U.S. get's it before the 8th(which is the 'official' release date), it is a blessing.

I completely agree. I will flood this board with smileys and sunshine if I hold that lovely piece of art against my bosom come tomorrow's PM, BUT if they are calling people, and sending out texts about how it is available and it is not...that is another story:evil:

That would suck, but I'm completely clueless since I preordered mine from Amazon for the free planes. Their site still says 15th. I know now that worst case scenario, I will get it on the 8th. But, a visit from the UPS man tomorrow would be much appreciated too.:-P

I was so excited about mine, but the smallest size they had was large :( I am a small dude so I either have to change my look to "gangsta" or hang it on the wall...

Well, Waco told me to call back tomorrow after 2. If they don't get it, there will be blood. You can't advertise something like that and not deliver, especially in TX where internet commerce is goverend/taxed by the state, and Gamestop is a Texas based company. I have been playing video games since 1981 and this is the first time I have seen a spike in blood pressure. The game is awesome and I want to play it, and I want to play it when Gamestop says they will deliver it. Look, we're all gamers here, not full-time living in mom's basement lifetime virgin gamers, but gamers, and we get hosed by the industry constantly by high prices, shit games, ignorant children behind the counter that don't seem to know anything about the games, then parents blame the games and the gamers when little Johnny who was a psycho to begin with goes on a shooting spree, thus blaming GTA. I have played the demo countless times and it has never given me the desire to crash my 182 into the tail of a big twin. Simply put, we are being taken advantage of and the longer we allow them to do this, the stronger their position will become. A little lie about a release date can have implications far beyond this one week, but they will never realize the impact of their decision unless the people affected let them know about it. There is no reason we shouldn't be taking a serious stand about this disaster.

Dude, step back from the computer and take some deep breaths. It's just a video game.

Partial Communism if I've ever seen it :P Seriously, it's not like it will never be released. Check tomorrow, I'll eat my own words if it's not out tomorrow. Which I know it will be.

Welp I got the "official" call from Gamestop saying it was going to be ready tomorrow. So I have no reason to believe otherwise. Though, I will be a "tad" remiss if it is not there waiting for me. ;p

Dude, no offense but if a video game release date changing by a day or two gets you this upset, you really need to get out of that basement. ;-)

Way to focus in on 2 lines instead of the bigger picture of how the video game industry screws us over constantly. If you can't see the bigger picture then you really need to get out of the basement, maybe pick up a newspaper once in awhile.

Shouldent have listent to dennis with his: When gamestop changes release date its true!

And just check all dates publishers announce: 8th of september.

Probly all a big misunderstanding because of the week earlier release.

Basement Shmasement...
Reds right- being f*****d around with something we've been waiting for the past 14 months is perfect justification for a major psychotic episode.
If my preorder isn't here for the weekend then my 65cc mcculloch is gonna rearrange a dozen gum trees and any feral dumb enough to be on my block.
In harsh times don't f**k with a man's de-stress, or he might just have to find other avenues...
Goodluck U.S. ...I hope you have better luck than us (once again) overlooked AUS
