So will they even have enough copies to sell to walk ins or are they only getting enough to cover preorders? Right now, I am not sure I will buy it, but if I do it would probably be tomorrow.

Would I be wasting my time going in as a walk in tomorrow since they are getting limited copies?

# 42 mgoblue678 @ 05/28/10 06:37 PM

So is it a gamestop only thing or is it industry wide like the other poster said it may be?

Gamestop near my house got 2 copies of each, no preorders, and im the only one that's called and asked about it.

Seems 505 Games isn't expecting a rush on the game or anything with the way it's being distributed.

I have mine preordered at gamestop so I got the text today about it releasing tomorrow.

But I also called bestbuy to see if they would be selling it to tomorrow. NOPEl, they said not till Tuesday.

i called walmart in my area and the electronics guy said that they've got copies in, but their computer won't let them sell until June 1st. I wonder if NM and 505 have an exclusive deal in place considering the debacle with the PS3. I'm a member of the BB forum, but since I haven't ever posted, I can't post now. If there is anybody here on the BB forum who reads this, can you find out (or at least ask) if NM and 505 plan to let the other retailers sell on the 29th. If so, we could get it at midnight. I'd appreciate any info. Thanks

just called 6 Blockbuster's in my area, none show them receiving the game at all for rent or sell. I was going to rent the game since there still is no demo for PS3 gamer's.

Maybe next year!
Just can't drop $50 bones based off of other folks interpretations, especially with no refund policies on opened games. And by the time a demo gets dropped for PS3, NCAA will be dropping theirs. Wish I was as rich as some of you guys!

I'd be inclined to think the guy fed you some BS. Guy at Walmart told me 'it rings up so i put it out' when I asked him if they had any 360 copies and we were talking about the release date.

# 49 mgoblue678 @ 05/28/10 07:03 PM

Why is there a such a limited amount? I understand the whole testing the waters to gauge interest deal so the quantity would be somewhat limited, but seriously only 2 or 3 copies at some of these stores. That seems ridiculous.

# 50 Demoncrom @ 05/28/10 07:10 PM

Got mine - and it's harder then the demo

Thanks for the heads up. It's official. Gamestop will sell the game tomorrow. I just went there and they confirmed it, so I pre ordered my copy in full.

This is the 1st time in 6yrs that I pre ordered a football title. I'm very excited and cant wait

# 52 sroz39 @ 05/28/10 08:04 PM

Just as an FYI for any Canadian BB'ers, I called the Gamestop/EB where I pre-ordered BB and they said they didn't receive any emails about releasing it tomorrow.

This is also likely due to the fact that I may in fact be the only person in Canada to have pre-ordered this game

# 53 fliplm0de @ 05/28/10 08:21 PM

Stopped by real quick at a local game stop in San Diego and asked if they had it for sale today. No luck but they did say just come back tomorrow so I just pre-ordered and gonna end up picking it up tomorrow!

I work at a Best Buy in Ohio and before I left work today I checked this "hot news" section on our employee computers and there was a note stating that the release date has changed for backbreaker and to put it out on 5/29 if you have it in stock. My store does not have it in yet and checked other stores in our district on the computer and none of them have it either, maybe we will get a Saturday shipment of them. But just letting you guys know that Best Buy is able to sell them if they have them in stock! Usually my best buy only gets the larger titles in before the release date, every other game we get in on UPS the day of the release.

# 55 TreyIM2 @ 05/28/10 08:28 PM

Yea, I got the GS text earlier today for my pre-order...but I took my pre-order off the day RDR came out. I wonder if a copy still came in because of my original pre-order? Eh, I still don't want the game, anyway, because I still haven't played the demo. Maybe it will hit PSN THIS Tuesday and if I like it enough, I will get it.

If BB as well as Gamestop received notice that they could sell the game on the 29th I'm thinking Walmart may have gotten the memo too. Might be worth a check at midnight?

If you check inventory, and then go back to the product page, it will list the stores that have it in stock in the product page.

For example, when I do that, it's still in preorder mode, so from the store finder page you get no options, but then going back to the product page i get:

Store Pickup: Not Available
Find it at a Best Buy store.
HENDERSON NV - Available
SW LAS VEGAS NV - Available
MARYLAND PARKWAY NV - Available
Check more stores.

Not sure how reliable that is come tomorrow... but we'll see i guess.

Best buy as a company update the store stock on the site once a day around 8am and it is usually very accurate so if its showing it is in stock, I would go and check and if someone says its not released yet let them know the date has changed and there is a update in the action center.
