Gamestops in NC are screwing people over, even those who preordered.

Not letting them get the game despite having it.

Where in NC?

 

[The Elite]

My EB told me between 2-5 in Toronto. Confirmed the temporary price drop to 59.99/79.99 until the 22nd.

 

[jmonteiro]

Gamestop at Lenox Square (atlanta) has it in stock guys who want to know.

The special edition or standard? Also, are they selling them today?

 

[Cowie]

I assume there's someone knowledgeable in the ways of Gamestop here. I placed a preorder at a local gamestop, but if I can find SF4 somewhere else first, i'll just pick it up there. Because I'm in no major rush to get my $5 back, how can I cancel it with the fewest casualties? I'm hoping to not give some poor sap a -1 preorder by going to get my money back, but ultimately I want my money back. What are my options?

 

[AZ Greg]

Has anyone had luck picking it up at a Best Buy, Wal-Mart, or Target today? None of the gaming specific stores out here will have it until tomorrow.

 

[ukas]

welcome to my world :/

I pre-ordered my PS3 CE back on 12/09/08. I'm in the same boat as you. WTF?!?

Which one? (or ones?)

uh, take your money back.
screw the poor sap

 

[sixteen-bit]

Not to rub it in but this is exactly why I chose the PS3 version.

Hey, so did EVO

They should go with the PC version so everyone could use their sticks. Easier match recording too.

I guess it won't be out in time.

I just picked mine up at the GameStop at Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh no problem.

 

[Nester]

Gamecrazy had it in, failed to mention to me they only had copies left over where you had to purchase the strategy guide for it too.

Luckily I had a few DS games sitting in my trunk that have been in there for 6 months so I just traded those in the cover the difference. Games I'd never play again anyways.

Fuck them. Get your money back if you can find the game else where.

The opposite happened to me. I love to support my local import store, but they didn't get the game in last week and won't have it until tomorrow. GS, which is two blocks from my office has it today. Guess who got my $63?

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Best Buy and Gamestop both told me tomorrow, pre-orders included (Winston-Salem, NC).

 

[The S-Word]

They are selling them today, sorry i didn't ask for a special edition so i don't know.

awesome, save 10$, anyword on the fightpad or fightstick coming today for EB Games Canada?

 

[Spy]

Is there a chance Gamestop is getting in SE/TE FightStick's today?

 

[digita1alchemy]

Do you know if they had any non pre-order copies?

That is a scam to raise their numbers. I would call corporate, they can't force you to buy the guide with it.

 

[ShinAmano]

Oooh thats a good one

MOAR

Are there multiple?

 

[ntb825]

Got mine.


I played online one match. I'm in the Midwest and my opponent was in ITALY! I beat him two straight rounds, and it ran perfectly.

Love the Mad Catz pad. Executing special moves is so much easier with it.



360 version btw.

 

[spookyfish]

So, Amazon e-mails me TODAY about how "they are still trying to locate stock" for the PS3 Col. Edition, which I preordered in November, just as soon as it was announced. Really, Amazon? You're not sure if you have enough stock? And this is ... why? You can't flippin' count? Even if there's not enough stock, won't it be shipped out based upon when it was ordered? Like, those who ordered earlier, get it before those who ordered later? (I meant announced for Amazon, I think ...)

>sigh<

So, I ordered the 360 Col. Edition from Capcom.com. They may still have some in stock.



Why can't I quit you, Amazon? Why?

 

[Zertez]

Is there a chance Gamestop is getting in SE/TE FightStick's today?

Supposedly the bulk of the shipments for the TE are coming the first week of March, but some stores will get SE sticks and if they are really lucky the preorder TEs sometime this week. I called gamecrazy yesterday and they still havent recieved their TEs, but had 4 SE sticks.

 

[jmonteiro]

They are selling them today, sorry i didn't ask for a special edition so i don't know.

Thanks, calling them now. If they have the CE I'm canceling my Amazon order

EDIT: No collector's edition left

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Are there multiple?

Contest prizes stated 2 first place winners, and since the second one posted was from the Blu Ray movie, its safe to assume theres one more.

All speculation really.

Mielke reviewed it? hes a really good writer I think, but hes all buddy buddy with Ono, conflict of interest much?

 

[rhino4evr]

fyi the gamestop in west boca raton FL has copies for sale to non pre order people

i just picked up a copy
the other GS stores nearby said tomorrow

they also had controllers for sale

 

[Kaibutsu]

*sigh* i'm one impatient person.... since amazon isn't shipping my LE ps3 till god knows when I went and picked up a regular edition 360 version at gamestop at lunch..... yay for having it on both systems i guess

 

[Mileena]

Anyone on EAST-PS3GAF want to play? Boxer/Rufus here

 

[sonicspear64]

Hey, so did EVO

Geez.. how many times do I have to say it? Wiz said that the PS3 version is only being used because they have a lot of PS3s. He said it could be on 360 (or PC) if people wanna donate them.

 

[Nester]

That is a scam to raise their numbers. I would call corporate, they can't force you to buy the guide with it.

They had a big stack of them shrinkwrapped together. Coincidentally they "just sold" the last standalone copy.

 

[dexterslu]

I'm not sure if this has been asked before (if so, I apologize) but does anyone know how to do the target combo? specifically with Chun-Lu?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Love the Mad Catz pad. Executing special moves is so much easier with it.

I heard they'll be doing more pressings of the pads? Is this true?

 

[gutter_trash]

you guys who buy the PS3 version and hook me up on PSN.. you better do the HDD install

 

[Mileena]

I second this. So much faster.

 

[Halvie]

People with the ps3 version please install the game. Long waits in between online matches otherwise.

Anyone else having trouble connecting to ranked matches?

 

[Alivor]

I love this game! My gamertag is Alivor if you ever want to play. I got mine at the Gamestop in Downingtown, Pennsylvania (the one by Wegmans, if you live around here). I also got some cheesey Ryu headband as well.

 

[UnholySpectacle]

Yeah, I knew a bunch of places that had their own shrinkwrap machine in back and would pull off that crap. Does your receipt show one sku or two seperate skus for the guide and game.

[Jaruru]

Going to check a few stores in Toronto on my lunch break now. Hopefully I will have success!

please update the Toronto status!!!

I can go pick up ANYTIME TODAY
and freaking call a day off!!!

 

[demigod]

In Lexington, KY there are TWO Gamestops almost SIDE BY SIDE. In the same shopping center. I don't know why but, there are.

ONE Gamestop isn't allowing people who didnt preorder until tomorrow.
The OTHER Gamestop IS, but I just got off the phone and he said there's a huge line waiting to pick it up.

WHY THE FUCK IS THE POLICY DIFFERENT between two of the EXACT SAME FUCKING STORES like five feet away? I just don't understand shit sometimes.

Took your advice, called 9 different Gamestops and 6 of them said preorder, 2 still taking preorder for tomorrow, the last one had an extra copy of the PS3 CE. Guy was cool, held the copy and sold it to me.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

I second this...I've called a bunch of places already. No dice...I'm going to hit up a few local places on my lunch in an hour...

he said between 2-5

 

[Kaibutsu]

So my pre-order isn't coming in until tomorrow...if anyone in Raleigh, NC is able to grab a copy off of the shelf today, please let me know!

not Raleigh but the Fayetteville gamestops have them . I picked up a 360 regular edition at lunch when my bro went to pick up his ps3 LE preorder.

 

[Nester]

Yeah, I knew a bunch of places that had their own shrinkwrap machine in back and would pull off that crap. Does your receipt show one sku or two seperate skus for the guide and game.

Left the receipt out in my car but I'll check that out when I get back in there.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

This was STC correct?

 

[Felix Lighter]

If I look up Street Fighter IV at Bestbuy.com and it tells me that the game is available at the store nearest me does that mean it is actually there for me to buy now or is it available for preorder? Or is it meaningless?...

 

[Jaruru]

I called all over. I found one place that has it. Bought the strategy guide, even. I put SF IV in. Friend calls me. I play the music for me. He's antsy about getting today too and worried that the GS will sell theirs out.

Capcom logo shows up. It freezes.

My 360 has just RROD'd. TODAY. TODAY. Oh my god.

Mother FU--

awwww... I saw this kind of RROD on every game launch day.
get a PS3 as "backup plan"? :O

 

[omgimaninja]

Called my local Gamestop and they have the regular copies in stock, so I'll be playing it tonight! I plan on running through v.easy arcade to unlock some characters, and then mess around online. Won't be until the weekend when I can try the challenges and focus on improving my game.
