I really, really, I mean REALLY wanted to get my hands on Silent Hill 2. I checked countless stores for the game and came up empty handed. Even when I used a store locator to see if they had it in stock, when it says 4+ copies in stock and I checked the store out, they still didn't have the game.
As a last ditch effort to procure the game, I decided to order it from ebgames.com. At $12.99, it was a steal! So on Thursday Sept 23 I ordered it through the mail. I know mail doesn't move on Sundays, but when I didn't hear anything back by the following week Thursday, I started to worry my order was lost in the mail. I sent them an e-mail and I got a message that they received the order two days before I e-mailed them, told me the order number and said have a nice day. The least they could have done was drop me a line to let me know they received the payment; they do ask you to write your e-mail on your order form.
Anyway, long story short, it's Oct 4, I've heard nothing else out of them, I'm still void of Silent Hill 2, and worse yet, the game has been removed from their website.
WTF is up with that?
Am I cursed? I mean, I was able to find Castlevania: SotN along with Final Fantasy Tactics, brand new(not greatest hits editions) for $25 last week, yet I can't find a game that's been released waaaay more recently than the two. The only game I ever had this much trouble finding was Breath of Fire 2. I couldn't find the game any where, I searched for a good year, and as a result, I never got to play it on my SNES. I'm hoping the same thing doesn't happen with Silent Hill 2. =(
