Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

I'm guessing no actual store got it today? My fiancee checked to see if they had the LE in today, but they said come back tomorrow.

Wow, never have I been quite anxious over a game to get it first thing out. I think this is the first game I'm getting hot off the shelves (ie, the release day). Only 20 hours away~~~.

I'm going to check Toys "R" Us tomorrow.

Some did including an EBgames in Canada, no idea on the location though.

I checked my Gamestop as well, and they said they'll be receiving it tommorow. It's amazing how excited I am over a game I already played. The online mode is the first thing I'm firing up, and hopefully the name I have in mind won't be taken. Although it would be pretty sweet to be the first guy to register "Solid Snake", but no doubt that name's already been taken.

I will pay a visit to Futureshop early tomorrow before heading off to class.

Gotta get mine.

So it looks like my hour lunch break tomorrow will consist of heading over to EBgames (hooray, fuckers) and getting the damn thing, finally.

It's making you sick? How? I'm curious.

It's from the Korean film Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, by the way.

My EB had better fucking have the LE version that I have pre-ordered, or I'll be so damn pissed I'll totally kick their asses.

Them: "HAY YEAH WE DIDN'T GET ANY OF THOSE HERE HAVE A STANDARD VERSION"
Me: {weeps and lies on floor until the whole situation gets very awkward and they give me a gift certificate}

Well I guess it turns out that GameStop never got their shipment hence the "Backordered" status on all orders. In store pickups aren't until tomorrow either.

Now I just need to get everything for online which means a PS2 Network Adapter..

Well, from the angle, it looks like that guy is getting his lower face sliced open. I can see a huge hole between his neck and ear. :/

I share your concern. It should be alright though, since they were aware of the LE's existence from when I pre-ordered it.

Make sure to post your username once you log in. I'll reveal mine if it's available (hint: it's from a kojima game. not from MGS).

Several Gamestop reps said it's showing backordered because it's shipping from a different warehouse, and that the status hasn't been updated on the website yet, but at least all the overnight orders were confirmed to have been shipped out today. Unless you've heard something completely different ?_?

And today was the ship date, you weren't supposed to be able to pick it up in-store until tommorrow. I really hate how Gamefaqs and most places show the ship date as the release date, since there's always the flood of people complaining that they didn't have it that day (not referring to you, just in general).

I'd call in the extreme bukkake measures. What.

Yeah so my EBs won't have any LEs instock for sure. The regular version, sure, better than nothing (I have dick all on MGS3...reiterating that I never played Snake Eater).

I haven't heard from anyone who's order did ship so I assumed it was the same regardless of what shipping method you chose if they had none in stock.

The thing about the release date is that some stores actually do, and did for MGS3:S, carry the game on the date released and when it's a big title like GTA, Halo or anything like that then most often they'll have it on the Tuesday release date.

The last time I used GameStop to preorder anything was for Resident Evil 4 on the GC and they actually shipped the game out a day before the game's scheduled release date.

That's just specifically what I've read. The only people I've talked to who have actually called all had overnight orders, so that may or may not mean anything.

Stores usually do not get titles on the ship dates unless something ships early for some reason (Halo 2 would be an example) or if they live very very close to where it's shipped from, which it sounds like it might be in your case. It would've been great if I had that luck =/.

I've got two LE's preordered at a local EB, one for me and one for Skills. I'm worried about limited LE quantities, so I took the day off, and plan on camping out from when they open so hopefully I can get them, we'll have to see.

Honestly, today I will consider it a victory if I can get my hands on a copy of MGS3:S – seriously. I wake up all ready to go this morning at 7:00, ready for the day at the office, when all a sudden my mom walks in and goes, “oh, please send in the car today to the mechanic shop as it needs maintenance bleh bleh bleh…” and here I’m going oh for fuck sakes seriously man, why TODAY!!! I need my car to get from the work place to the nearest Ebgames and that takes about a good 15 minutes during my lunch hour. Now I gotta take public transportation which the service sucks goat balls seriously. I don’t want to go after work since it takes extra time with the traffic and such, and plus now my car is in the mechanic garage and having to go in my parents car is about the same as beating myself with a sledgehammer. What a gong show, seriously.

Seriously, if my EB games sells out of the game or something today then I’m going to kill someone, for Christ sakes.

my cry:

CRY FOR ME FEEL SORRY FOR ME I HAVE TO SUFFER CAUSE I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FLIPPIN’ PS2 GAME, OH NO THE WORLD’S GONNA END! PITY!

::weeps to the quiet place::

WHY TODAY!??!!?

Why not go in your parents car?

Aw, sorry man. I hope you make it in time, and get your copy.

Gotta get yours.

FUCK YES.

I got a copy of the LE.

However, others won't be so lucky. The EB workers said they got less than they pre-ordered for.

I can tell that today and tomorrow will be a day of great sadness for those who really wanted the LE.
