Yeah, brutal game... worst part was that if he didn't interfere, we would've won, but what can ya do?
I hope the leagues have been of similar quality since, but one of the redeeming factors in games like that is that with very few exceptions, the competition in the leagues I've taken part in has been very sportsmanlike...
...hopefully the leagues since have managed to continue that trend.

Mark me down for East Lansing...
The first time I was looking at the cities I saw they had Flint and not Lansing and I about flipped out... but the inclusion of EL instead of Lansing is understandable I suppose.

Demo coming next week?
I doubt the game will have Vancouver. It doesn't look like it has any Canadian cities.

which brings me to my next post! if you are still interested, please post that you are interested! we'll have an updated list in no time!
Oh I am in, no doubt. Just trying to do the honorable thing since this would be my first GAF league. Sad to hear Wellington is not in the league, I was looking forward to playing him and avenging his banishment of me from GAF many moons ago. Would it help if I said a few bad things about Madden? Get him all riled up. :lol
Guys I can't stress this enough. IF the game doesn't look like a buy to you is it worth $9.25 cents? That's what it costs to rent it for 37 days from blockbuster. So just be there Tuesday morning as they open and the copy is yours. Then If you really like it and the season goes 2 months then on the 36th day return it and recheck it out.

Explain the Blockbuster thing Vumpler, are you talkin about the gamer pass...

no, blockbuster doesnt charge late fees anymore unless you keep the game for a month after its due, at which time they will charge your bank/credit card the entire amount for the game. however, if you return it any time within about 35-37 days, they only charge you a "restocking fee" of $1.25.
however, this is hit and miss and you should definitely check with your local store to make sure before you keep the game and suddenly have $60+ missing from your bank account. corporate stores follow this policy completely, franchise stores usually dont. i know my local stores will go ahead and charge your card only a week after the game is overdue and then you have like 3 weeks to return the game for a refund, minus the $1.25 restocking fee.

Well there are 7 block busters within 5 miles of my house and they all follow the blockbuster "no late fees." So just call and say "how many days is it before I can't bring a game back?" If they say 37 then it works like every blockbuster I've ever seen. I tried finding one of these that didn't support it and I've yet to find one personally. All of the ones in Nashville TN and within 50 miles of there do and all the ones 30 miles around St. Louis do.

The only problem I have with the blockbuster idea is it seems to either get the games late or the new ones are all gone immediately.
Like I said a few posts ago thats why you gotta be there about 10 mins before they open. They will have it tuesday. They had ncaa day of last year and every game i've wanted day of release this year. This shouldn't be any differentsableholic said:
Just might have to find the main BB in your area and take off work that morning or something. Saves 40 bucks over 1 hour of true work lol.FrenchMovieTheme said:

Haven't watched them yet, but new marketing for 2K8.

I'm really setting myself up to hate this game... I started out very indifferent to it and I've somehow really hyped myself up.... god I hope it delivers...
EDIT: Wow, that first vid is cheesy, but I do like seeing more vid from the game.
EDIT2: Wow, that second vid is cheesy, but I do like seeing more video from the game... and the brief Barry clip.. oh yeah...

I'm still in. Was planning on renting it from Blockbuster as well.
Sickboy: Calgary stores get their games Wednesday afternoons. Game is a one week rental for $9.99. You get an extra week to bring it back (so that's two weeks) and then you get another 30 days to return the game for a restocking fee of $1.75. So really you get 44 days.
If you let me know what area of the city you are in I might even be able to tell you what store would be your best choice.

Thanks for the heads up BirdBomb and Vumpler!!
Unless the game is just godly, I imagine it permanently riding the pine after Madden hits so I think I'm going to Blockbuster APF2K8!
