Title: Sold out in my area how bout yours?
Post by: StRaNgE on March 22, 2003, 04:53:33 PM

well tonight I loaded in the car with my son  with some old cube games  an old gameboy color and some old games I grew tired of  for it. We went to every store within the local radius that sold games. Starting with EB, then Gamestop, Then Games for less, then Toys R Us, then Target, and even made a call to frys. The results I got were not the best.
EB and gamestop are sold out, stating it will probably be next month before they get n more in. Toys R us  were out as well and said maybe 1-2 weeks before more are expected. Games for less  had  a couple left, like 3 only and they  were selling them for 129.99 but gave two free games out of 6  or 7 choices, all pretty weak games though to me at least. Frys happened to say they were not selling any till tomorrow but they too are selling it for 129.99 with the choice of two accessories. One is suppssedly the headphone jack, a car charger , a case  and other useless stuff for an extra 30 bux.

hell , I wanted to just pick one up a copy of advanced wars or fortress and maybe fusion and Zelda and go home but guess I'll have to wait  awhile to do that still.

Anyone  suggest  advanced wars over fortress or other way around?  Does fortress have the old version   from Arial where the boats come in and  demolish with cannon balls? Or is that something else?

I know that at my local EB they said that they had pre-ordered the entire shipment they were supposed to recieve.

Try Wal-Mart, my store has plenty left, I'd guess around 9 of each color left.

ADVANCE WARS! ADVANCE WARS! ADVANCE WARS! You will fall in love with that game it's awesome! I have never had a strategy game before either so it's not like I'm a big strategy game freak. It's #3 on gamerankings.com for gba games (behind metroid fusion, and zelda) And I thought Fortress got bad ratings? O well pick it up
