Note to those who are in Toronto:

Called the EB at the Eaton Centre, they said they have it in. Both PS3 and 360.

Now I'm debating if I pull the trigger...

This isn't the first game they've done this with. They did the same thing with Modern Warfare 2. The owner of my local Play N Trade gets pissed at our two Gamestops because they're always doing this to her and it costs her preorders.

Its got nothing to do with the AI issues, its more about capitalizing on sales early.
considering most Gamestops have only kept 2-5 copies of the game in stock, i doubt theyre doing it to steal customers and corner the Backbreaker market. If you dont constantly go to video game sites you most likely have never even heard of this game.

Re: Backbreaker For Sale on Saturday, Call Your Local Gamestops

Ya know, I've been having the same issue since last night Spear. But today I realized my credit card bill for this month is a lot less than I anticipated. So why the heck not right? I'm going to get it now.

I'm not going to the eaton centre...i hate going there. There are 2 EB's close to me, one walking - if the walking one has it I'm going hands down, anything else I probably can't as I'm throwing a party tonight.

plus rashad rampage tonight

edit: my local EB won't sell it - he was like the street date is in the computer and there is no way that's going to change. I told him Eaton Centre is doing it and he said they will get in trouble most likely - guy was a douche. I know he didn't actually really look into it or anything.

What location? I might head to my local one, if not I might bite the bullet and go down to the Eaton Centre.
