I don't know if it's like this in the U.S as much as here in Canada, but as far as I am concerned, it's Tuesdays and Tuesdays alone that new games should be coming out. That is how it has been since as long as I know. Movies never seem to get delayed, maybe harder to find if you want the BD version of a movie but always out on the right day.
The thing that is really making me angry is I am seeing release dates like, for example today, March 25th, for Crisis Core, the FF7 prequel. So I check out my local walmart, and not there. Thats fine , the Electronics section is useless there anyway and they never have anything. So I drive to Calgary, (about a 20 minute drive from where I live) and go to Futureshop. I had checked on the website and they said it was out today... Nothing there...
Ok well luckily there is an EB about 5 stores down from the futureshop so I walk over. Look around can't find anything. Go up to the guy working at the desk "Hey you got a copy of Crisis Core back there?" Since he was unpacking some games from boxes. And I get this "That game doesn't come out until tomorrow." With the most ridiculously snobby attitude I have ever gotten in a long time . So I just walked out , no need to start a yelling match with the guy or anything lol.
But the main thing of this is, don't know if it should be in the Steam Vent forum or not, sorry if it's in the wrong place but, is this bugging anyone else?
Games are supposed to be released on a Tuesday or even when they aren't they still don't seem to be coming out on time here at all. Like with Condemned 2 for the PS3 I still can't find a copy of it and it was supposed to come out... 2 weeks ago now. So ya, is it like this in the States? Or just up in the frigid Northern part of the continent?
