I'm so mad right now. I thought it was coming out today! I've called Best Buy, 2 local Wal-Marts, Sam's, and Target, none of them have it, nor do they say they WILL have it. I guess my best chance would be checking in tomorrow. If nobody has it then, I'm ordering for next day.

Yea i don't think it was released today in New England. I live in NJ, and this game looks amazing. Fortunatly I checked the Best Buy site and found out that it would in fact be realised today! However that was a mistake since when I stopped there i figured out they had no traces of the game and the computer didn't even show that the game was being shipped.
:mad:
I then went to CompUSA and they said they had ordered 200 copies that would be arriving today or wendsday.
Oh well

I just ordered it from Amazon.com. It was $5 cheaper (making it $45), and there was free shipping. It should ship out tomorrow, and I should have it in 3 - 7 days. Watch all my stores come out with it tomorrow after I've already ordered:rolleyes: ...

I went to Best Buy. . . Nothing.

I went to Software Etc. . . .No Game they said tomorrow, but they did have the Strat Guide.

To be honest the Strat Guide looks rather sad. For 6 races it is very thin, and I saw no unit info in it. But that is what I have come to expect from Prima Guides. They put very little into them and charge a lot for them.

Sheesh, it seems like half this forum comes from New Jersey _~MaStErMiNd~_ lol. I just found out Jinn comes from Jersey as well and lives about 20 mins from me. So if he ever does beat me in a game, I can go over his house and pop him in the head =P
