Is EB retarded?
November 15th, 2006
So, the last two or three times I’ve been to EB to get a game on release day, I’ve gotten the same answer. “We don’t have it”. Now, normally, I don’t mind when a store doesn’t have a game. It could be sold out, or maybe just hasn’t arrived yet. Yet, both times I inquired about why they didn’t have it, I received the same answer “It’s not out yet.” The first time, I thought, meh, maybe I just remembered wrong, or the date was changed or something. But I’ve come to the conclusion that EB is just so far stuck up their asses that they can’t tell the difference between a release date, and the date that their shipment of it comes in. Even this I wouldn’t mind so much, but whenever I mentioned that all sources (including EBgames.com and the little book of release dates IN the EB store) said that 11/14 is the release date for Final Fantasy III, I’d get an “I don’t know what stupid person told you that, but the date is wrong… stupid”. I’m just waiting for Sunday. “I’m sorry everyone, but you’re all wrong. 11/19 is the ship date of the Wii, the release isn’t until tomorrow. Stupids”
The funny thing is that a GameStop in another mall also hadn’t received their copy of FFIII yet, but at least they told me the truth and said “Sorry, we were expecting it in today’s shipment, but it didn’t seem to contain it. We should have them in by tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience.” So, maybe it’s just EB. Who knows, but I’m real close to never going into that EB again.
So, November 7th has come and gone, and 2 of the most anticipated rhythm games were released. The sequel to one of the hottest rhythm games ever,
