I was at gamestop earlier, and they won't get it until tomorrow. Fry's Electronics gets it later today when their trucks roll in.
Nobody can access any ToAU content until the 20th anyway, but damn it really grilled my bacon when neither had it. >.<
Oh well, not much of a loss except bragging rights on who got it first... meh...

Got mine from Gamestop today. They had it no prob. where do you live you might be lower priority delivery (a.k.a. middle of nowhere).

From what I've heard, nobody actually has the game in yet. You can't actually use the new content until like, tomorrow any way.

I still want the game, being able to use it's aint the point. Gamestop always does this for it's games, it's a real pain in the ass.

its the 19th not the 20th, it was a mistake what they posted on their website which has now been fixed. It doesnt matter anyhow u cant use the content til the 19th, p.s. game stop shipped it out a day EARLY thats why it says "Pre Release", they will send it the 18th so u will recieve it the same day it comes out

So, Gamestop sucks because you can't wait twenty-four hours for a computer game? And a computer game expansion, for that matter?
Stunning logic there, buddy.

ya... you cannot even access expansion content until April 19th, 2006, 10AM PST. (Which is April 20th, 2006, 12AM JST). So stfu... if you get it tomorrow morning, you will be fine...

probably depends on the size of the city. i live in a town of 100K people so i get it tomorrow. im sure if you are atl, nyc, cha-town it is a different case. i kinda wanted to read the box when bored in sky tonight...not tonight.

there he is! I was waiting for that one guy that pops in every thread that says your an idiot.
anyways, this thread is more about gamespot delaying things a day for everything, which does suck. i forgot they do this, from now on ill just be more carful and get things at places like Fry's Electronics or somethin.

Nobody seems to understand that 18th is the SHIPPING date. it begins its journey from the magical pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. the journey anywhere from 1 to xxx days later, when the copies actually make it to the store. go stand outside the establishment where they're actually creating the DVDs and mug the first guy out with a box labled FFXI and you can have yours as early as you want it.

Game stop by me had them in but wouldn't sell them til tomorrow.. but I could "prepay and reserve" one while they lasted... so I did... I can go pick it up as soon as the store opens in the morning.. They were already almost out of what they got in... so many people reserving them... I'd ask to see if the one by you does this... at least you would be guaranteed yours first thing....

Actually that was a test so I could guess your approximate age by your reaction.
Congratulations! You're at least past puberty!

EB Games: No we don't have it in until tomorrow.
Gamestop: We have it but we can't release it until tomorrow.
That pisses me off that they say they can't release it when they have it. It's not like we can do anything with it anyway, just give us the damn expansion already.
