Yeh well, I thought I'd post this for anybody who needed somthing to laugh at. I'm of course all excited and ready to play GW, so I decide I'm gonna go pick me up a copy. I wasnt sure if the local stores (walmart/sam goody) would have it yet, so I called a store in a town 1hr away and they said they had it. I decided I'd best check out the locals first, just to save myself the trip in case they did have it, but of course they didnt, so off I went.

1 hr later I get there, go in, look around, and start to get distressed when I dont see it on the shelves. The guy asks me if I'm looking for anything in particular, I tell him GW, he says oh ok and pulls me a copy out of the box they have yet to unpack and sells it to me. So, 1 hr later I'm home and installing the game. I go to log on and find out what everybody else already knew: you cant play it until tomorrow unless you've preordered. So fui, guess I'll read the manual until midnight tonight, but why do I have to be so stupid? Oh well, see you guys in game

At least you are a good sport about it. Not like some of the people posting on the VN boards.

Hey Jack, you said you live in Alabama...do you by chance live in Dothan? or perhaps buy it there. If so, I have something amusing to say.

You guys should all consider yourselves lucky (if you have the game that is),
I preordered from Play.com (UK) and received an email today saying to allow 3-5 days for delivery..if I'd known before I would have gotten it at a store!
(mind you, on Play.com it's only £17.99 sterling so I can't complain)
Looking forward to joining you all asap
