Hey, mind picking me up an extra copy, just in case? Or just let me know which store. Hope its not the one I pre-ordered from…

I just called my store and the guy I spoke with mentioned that they still haven't gotten there's in, but assured me that when they do, the proper amount of copies will be put away for those who pre-ordered. But as that one guy at Gaming Age proved, often time they just blindly give out the bonuses to just anyone who claims to have pre-ordered without checking, which again fucks over those who did the right thing and were prompt about it (which happened to me once a little over a year ago). Though often its usually just asshole clerks who horde the discs for themselves and then just sell it on eBay (I hear they've already begun popping up).

My local Gamestop has people working in it that I find to be helpful. Now, both my local EB Gameses... I'd rather not walk into one too long. I had the manager at one bother me about PC games as I was casually browsing around, and the topic somehow shifted towards trade-ins in which I replied "I don't feel like selling my games for less than they're worth." After that I left. XD The other EB had a manager that looked like a deer in someone's headlights when I wanted to make a Xbox360 reservation. If you can't do it, you can't do it. Don't look at me like I'm the grim reaper or something. XD I’m lucky. My local Gamestop has people working in it that I find to be helpful.

And yet, the disc is starting to trickle up north as well. Again, another fine example of how misinformed the major game retailers are...

What are you saying about Canada? I have a preorder on Subsistence and was told I would get the "Saga" bonus DVD. Sadly, no one seems to have ever even heard of a Limited Edition ... but that's a far cry from "not anything". The "Existence" disc is the only thing Canada seems to be missing. Huh?
