Haven't gotten my email yet but then again I have a pending charge on my account which means the have started to process my order. Might be shipped out monday I guess or alredy out and the charge won't fully hit until monday and then I might get the item in the mail.
I remember the last time I preordered from Ebgames. It was for my PS2 when it first launched. Come launched day the status of the order was that it hadn't shipped yet, but it was sitting in a box next to the front door in the living room. So not really sure I guess when mine will be shipped.
This is somewhat related to this.. well maybe a little :O... My brother is going to be at walmart hyping halo 2 from 9-1:30.. thats 9pm-1:30am.... I was wondering if wal-mart is going to be putting out eq2 on the 9th at 12:01am like they are supposed to... I was going to preorder it.. but I figured this would work out better, and I would have it the day the servers go up.. Wal-mart is one of the 2 or 3 companies who have release date as the 15th still online and release as the 9th in stores btw..

I've actually tried this before and plan on trying it this time too. If you go into wal-mart at 12:01 they will not have the game out. Last time I tried this they did not have the game out at 12:01. I decided to ask the guy at the electronics section if they had the game yet. He said he'd go check the stock room and sure enough... he came back with my game. Hopefully it will work the same way this time as well.
Edit: What I wanna know is, if I get the game tuesday morning at midnight... will the servers be up? This has probably been mentioned somewhere else, but I searched and couldn't find it...
Cool, my brother is going to get paid to pass halo 2 crap out... I hope they have copies of eq2 when he tries to buy it.. hopefully all the people there will jsut want halo 2 and leave all the eq2 copies alone :P

Like most large retailers, Walmart has stickers on the boxes that contain the new release stuff. And it will say when the Night Stockers can put it out... having worked at Walmart, I know how lazy people can be, and they probably just forgot about it. But if the sticker says the 9th, then at 12:01am, they shouldn't have any problems with selling it.. IF they have it. Which i'm sure they do.
If my local Walmart was open late enough, i'd go check it out, but there are no 24 hour ones in Canada, as far as I know.
