I'm serious. I saw it on the shelf at my local EB games at the mall on my way to school today. I would have taken a picture except my phone camera quality sucks dick. Unfortunately, they don't have the bundle pack, so I didn't buy it. DANG, Canada is lucky. I wanted to get it right there and then to look cool in front of you guys. TOMORROW I GO SHOPPING. Hoping to find bundle pack in my city now

Part of me calls BS

The other part of me wants to smack you upside the head with a metal spatula for not throwing your money at them and picking up the game right then and there


I've never worked at a gamestop before, but maybe the employers got the date wrong and stocked the shelves with FE: Awakening before they were supposed to?

That, or Canada has bonuses other than bagged milk...

implying the HERESY of milk bags is a good thing

[Fire Blazer]

it seems to be true

This is pretty ****ing retarded I'm ****ing mad games shouldn't be publicly leaked almost a week before they're supposed to be out I wanna protest this is bullshit

[Cero]

Yeah, it's probably just to show that it is coming soon. (What Blazer said)

I hope all of you that get it early end up with unfinished copies

[Cero]

WHAT!? Man, wish I was in Canada.

[Fire Blazer]

Yeah I edited my post when I confirmed it

so I called EB Games at Canada and I confirmed several things (the guy I talked to was really nice)

first, they have the game: they got it at around 8:30 PM at night

not all locations have it (more urban locations more likely to have it)

they cannot ship outside of the U.S.

I was actually about to go drive to Canada to get the game but of all the places I called only one has them and they only have 2 copies; by the time I get there they'll probably both be sold >_<'

Stores don't have the bundle. You should probably just buy the 3DS and the game.

[Golden Warrior]

Well, that happened... ._. It seems Canada gets somethings early... and somethings no one ever gets. Best example: Wii Mini. I won't even go into details with that.

Lancer, don't rub it into people's faces when you get it... XD

[Shu]

Shit. You're damn lucky, dude. Don't spoil it.

Don't know about you guys, but this just makes me all the more excited for when I get my own copy, haha.

[Fire Blazer]

and you wouldn't look call, just like a prick. and if you don't have a 3DS you're screwed in that way cuz what Ryoku said is true, they only have the shipments of the game and for some stupid ass reason they had to get rid of the street date there and U.S. is stuck without it

and I couldn't drive over because my parents wouldn't hand me my passport >__________>'

isomad

also made like a dozen phone calls and spent hours on the internet and stuff trying to get as much information I possibly can

for those interested and in the U.S., you MAY be able to get it Friday or Saturday if you've pre-ordered it and the pre-order ships. You can't pre-order now, it's too late; however, rumors indicate the street date for the U.S. has also been lifted, meaning that as soon as they get the game, they can sell it--they don't have to wait. Right now though, this is just a rumor--I haven't been able to confirm it.

The only other ways to get it are to drive over (as I said, I couldn't) or get a friend to ship it over (that's what I'm doing now but it likely won't hit here until Thursday or Friday, I doubt he could ship it today and it'd come tomorrow ><).

[Fire Blazer]

Apparently the Street Date wasn't supposed to be broken in Canada after all (go figure) and now they aren't selling anymore, though things are still in a bit of panic, so if you're in Canada and haven't gotten your game (cough Lancer cough) now may be the only chance you have left. ><

I knew I should have driven over yesterday but nuuuuuuuu I can't without my passpoooooort and it's too riskkkkyyyyyy

[Kuomo]

Canada always did have a certain aptitude for video games I suppose...

Hope they enjoy the head start ;_;

[Cero]

>:I ... Lucky Canadians. Though I don't see the point of removing it if they already sold it.

[Fire Blazer]

ROFL Kuomo

I haven't given up myself, I'm still trying to get the game shipped here QQ

[Fire Blazer]

Copying this from the news topic for emphasis as I don't want you guys to be left in the dark:

QUOTE

January 31st: Looks like I may have been wrong: according to various GameStops and online sources (none of which are -extremely- credible but they're credible enough) indicate that the street date in the U.S. has either been lifted or never existed in the first place, and shipments should be coming in tomorrow afternoon (some places reported earlier but I have a feeling it's not true). Call your local gamestop and ask when they think they'll have it in--otherwise you might be in the dark and not get the game on time (especially if they wait until the 4th to call you...).

[Kuomo]

Woah. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to call just in case. It would blow to go pick up my pre-order on the 4th and find out they've already sold out before the "release date"

Personally, everybody should have just waited to release it on the day they said they would. Less confusion that way.

[Scrimsax]

Apparently it's coming in normal time for me.

[Fire Blazer]

@Kuomo yeah I wish they would have just had a normal release so I don't stress out like it'd be great to have the game early but it's not worth all this and I'm still mad Canada got it a few days early, that's crap >_>'

Also I updated the main topic in the News forum again so check that out as it contains information on getting your game.
