Title: F-Zero where are you?I
Post by: Round Eye on August 25, 2003, 02:12:29 PM
Did I miss something?

PGC had F-Zero on a Aug. 26 release date, but I went to Amazon and now it looks like it is being released Aug. 28.

Thanks in advance for erasing my ignorance.

So it does, but they still have it listed as a Pre-order.  And where is the official F-zero ships announcment?

Patience is a virtue, seldom in a woman, never in a Round Eye.

BTW loving this quick reply, when did they add this feature?

Quick reply's been here since they switched to the new boards- it just wasn't automatically docked in you're using IE or Netscape.

Nintendo usually lists shipping dates.  In this case August 25th.  Usually places that get FedEX like Gamestop get them for sale on Tuesday.  Larger places like Best Buy, Target, Wal-mart usually don't start selling until Wednesday.

BS.

I went to Circuit City today and they don't even show it in their computers as arriving this week (not to mention they didn't even know what the crap I was talking about).

Hey Termin8, where do you live? I think I may go to Dave & Buster's tomorrow to see if they have AX. And as for Best Buy, we will probably be getting the game in tomorrow (tuesday), since our truck days have been changed to where we only get 2 trucks a week instead of 4, the shipping days usually being tuesday and thursday. So if any of you are near a Best Buy, check with them around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and they may have it.

Maybe I should have waited till the actual release day before posting  DOH, can you tell I am kinda excited about this game.  Hopefully it will come out today at Walmart.  I am in Canada and it always seems that games take a day or two longer to hit the shelves, except for Zelda it was here when they said it was supposed to.

Thanks for not flaming me into a burnt crisp, for not knowing how to read a calender.

Well, I just called my local GameStop, and they said they have copies in right now. (the 26th) So, I'm gonna run up there later tonight. The stores near me usually recieve games late, so this is Extra Special.

I live in Idependence, MO, just fyi.

Got mine from Future Shop yesterday, hurrah! they only received 11 copies in total.  Felt kinda strange though, I am not used to getting games on the actual release date. It was a good kinda strange though.
