JJ 10 Easy Wishes Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 no i can't get a copy anywhere fucks sake. Tesco BOD had a queue twenty minutes long, but little did I know that you had to have gone there earlier to get a ticket to allow you to actualy get a copy. Waited till I got all the way round till I got that bombshell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rass Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 there was still a queue outside gamestation when i was on my way home from work about half an hour ago, irritatingly i saw at least one young kid in the queue, i hope the parent they persuaded into taking them along didn't get sold the game.

It was pretty funny because you could see heaps of people queing up not realising the game had been sold out for about 30mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm waiting patiently by my door for the postie.If it doesn't arrive today I'm going on a killing spree thus proving games don't cause violence but lack of games causes violence.

Teabags Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I dont have one, despite being in the middle of developing a game for it.Wel, I have one at work. But its a Dev-box, which costs about 3 times as much and doesnt play retail discs. Fuck sake.If anybody is interested, they still have copies in Game in the BA Centre.

Diesel Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 dave, you should get an xboxSTRANREAR ON SAT YAS MINGT4 - completely forgot about it!!! Had one ordered at Blockbuster. Nuts!Stranraer!!! - turned out for them a few times in the late 80's when they had a big injury list. My mate Barney Duffy was the keeper and other mate Brian Wilson (no, not THAT one) played right wing. Sannie McAnespie - father of ex-Aberdeen Steven - was the manager. It was more like a bunch of mates having a kick-aboot (as was reflected in the results). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless the kid you saw had ID...I'd assume the same thing that happened to the young kid i saw will have happened...he didnt get in.

Ross. Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 no i can't get a copy anywhere fucks sake. Tesco BOD had a queue twenty minutes long, but little did I know that you had to have gone there earlier to get a ticket to allow you to actualy get a copy. Waited till I got all the way round till I got that bombshellExact same thing happened to me and my 2 mates- we got there about 11.35, joined the queue only to get totally shafted.HOWEVER persistence (or desperation) is the key- there were 6 reserved copies that weren't claimed. We got told that if no-one had come for them by 1am they were ours. 5 quid worth of sandwiches, cookies and fizzy pop and an hour of sitting around later we were smugly walking out with a copy each.I very much doubt it now, but there were 3 unclaimed copies that just went straight back into the warehouse, if anyone's still trying to source.
