I went into my work (Gamestop) earlier to purchase Half-Life 2. My boss tells me that Madden 2006 and PGR3 came in.

I purchased PGR.

If you buy it, check your boxart because mine is all messed up. It's kind of offset and everything has this odd purple outline. I already opened it though so there is nothing I can do.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Damn, PDZ didn't come in with PGR3?

Guess I'll head over to Gamestop in a few and see if I can snag my copy. Kameo needs a friend.

I saw the ad for Madden last night and it said 'in stores 11/17' which is tomorrow.

Do any games get released on a Wednesday?

Surely you can switch it and send it back for replacement even if it has been opened? Sounds like one of the plates was misaligned while it was printing.

Not sure. I'll look into it, but it's really not that big of a deal. I'm just so happy that I own a 360 game. :lol

You can add Live 06 and Tony Hawk to that as I saw them in my local Target today along with Kameo and Madden. (Joliet, IL)

Guys behind the desk should by a copy and throw it on the kiosk!

I think most kiosks are set in demo-mode, and can only be changed by ms reps.

Games can be released any day, Monday-Friday. It all depends on when they're shipped. Nintendo always ships their games on Mondays, to be available most places by Tuesday. For everyone else though, it varies.

Can any common person without a reservation walk in and purchase these games?

I did.

Ah, well that sucks.

We played Kameo for a few hours the other day. The rep must have fucked up.

Checked out Target in Dearborn MI on my lunch break...they had a to-be-stocked shopping cart with NBA 2K6, NHL2K6, CoD2, Kameo, PGR3, Madden, and Live.

No PDZ...

They also had their 360 section up with controllers, mem cards, play n charge cables, battery packs, and some faceplates. Are other stores putting this stuff up already? I haven't been paying attention since I found out I was "second shipment" at GS.

 

[Bebpo]

Which stores are actually selling games to people? The Gamestop near me is holding off everything until launch.

It's one of the 3 demos.

I've bought games at Target and Walmart so far.

heh, I checked both of those places already and neither even had a 360 section setup yet, let alone games.
