I´m so jealous of you guys right now...
this is my story... skip it if you want to.. it´s just a pissed hanmik doing some useless rambling..
------------------------
I live in the Faroe Islands (part of Denmark, but situated miles away from Denmark)..
Tried to find the game in some stores up here.. Because we have some shit delivery terms up here, it always is like this with games:
- We get the game a week before the danish/uk launch, because the games are launched on a thursday or friday in Denmark, and the boats with the games arrive on mondays. And the stores couldn´t care less about launch dates.
OR
- We get the game 1 or 2 weeks later. Because the game is delivered to the shops the same day, or a day earlier, than the launch date. So if a game Launches Thursday or Friday, it will arrive the next monday in the shops. Or if we are unlucky a week later.
knowing all this I try to track down the game. Drove to 4 different shops, who all sell PS3 games, but have different places they order from (some from Denmark others from The UK). But none of the shops had the game.
Hmm.. I was beggining to wonder why. So I picked up my phone and called all the shops.
This is what they ALL told me.
The game will arrive in Denmark and the UK the 28th. of May. So we will get the game a week later than that. Which will be around the 1st. of June.
I kindly tell them that they must be misinformed. And I tell them about the story from last week with gamestop and other stores in Denmark and Sweden.
2 of the bigger stores agreed to check up on that. they would call the company they buy the games from (one of them is the same as Elgiganten in Denmark, the other is Experten).
First Elgiganten calls me back. It´s still listed to the 28th. of May in all their stores.
Then Experten calls me back. he also says that it is listed to arrive in Denmark on the 28th. of May. And he also tells me, that the guy he contacted wrote an email to Rockstars partners in Denmark today, because they where in doubt after I had filled them in. he got an email back from Rockstars partner in Denmark, and they say that they have underestimated the impact of the game. So there is BIG shortage in all of Scandinavia and possible everywhere in Europe..
He told me that he will keep track of the situation on daily bases, and report back to me if the situation changes ..
So here I am.. on the Fucking Faroe Islands.. and I will probably not get this game before the 2nd. of June.
