Ehh, didn't UbiSoft say March 27th? Not to mention I've seen a slew of flash ads that said March 27th, not the 23rd.

New game releases are always on a tuesday with very few excpetions. The only time they make exception to the industry standard is when it works hand in hand with a certain date or a movie or event.

Worked in a software distribtuion warehouse for many years and this was always the case. Shipped all west coast on Monday and 1 day points on Tuesday for Wednesday shelf date.

I wont be getting my copy until the 27th from Gamestop...

I enjoyed the demo on PC... But I will get this game on the Xbox again.

I comes out the 27th. I just saw it on the Ubi/MS commercial.

Releases on a Saturday...I find that exceptionally hard to believe. As a matter of fact, I dont believe it.

I'll be making a phone call to mybuddy to see if its in the warehouse, or is expected to arrive by air freight on Monday. Because they will start the shipping process then and he'll already know if its on the schedule.

I got that link from Ubi soft's forums. My son works at Blockbuster and they are scheduled to receive it the 23rd. I did a search and ebgames, FYI, and another said the 23rd.

CrazyCougar
03-21-2004, 12:56 AM
Yeah I think the 27th is a bunch of hot air. You dont release a game on a Saturday. Main reason is, people wont play for Saturday delivery on preorders. ($10 charge by fedex and UPS) And companies wont pay that extra shipping surcharge for you either.

Also every internet store I have gone to so far has a ship date of 3/23. Havent seen one 3/27...Sites I checked : EBGames, Gamestop, and ToysRus, Best Buy

When's the last time you saw UK advertisements being aired on US television?

Yeah, you must be right... I mean, Microsoft did advertise March 14, 2002 for Xbox's launch... oh wait, that was the UK's launch date... :rolleyes:

The gaming media doesn't yeild to the UK. If they're going to announce something, they'll give us distinct dates. So far, I've only seen ads, commercials, interviews, trailers, and videos that've all lead to March 27th. The rest of you are going on what your locals stores are saying... What do they know? They've had Halo 2 slated for April. :o

It's quite obvious that the so called "######" that you're referring to have nothing more important to do with their lives than to evaluate other peoples conversations on internet message boards. Just ignore them, man. The people that were actually intelligent enough to really understand what TheRightisRight was trying to say in his first post in responce to this thread, don't let the under dogs bring you down to their level.

Blockbuster is not a priority retailer, they are the final client to be shipped to from the DC. 2 day shipping on Wednesday, means Blockbusters will recieve titles on Friday. 99.9% of the time!

So DZNUTZ, you think that you're the master of manipulation, right? If you really beleive that, more power to you, but other people have perceptions of you that completely counter what you think of yourself. If it makes you feel satisfied to stay in your little world harrassing people over the internet, to any extent, continue by all means. I honestly don't care about your problems, your life, etc, but just remember that the way that you behave in any situation in regards to interacting with people can have a significant impact on the way people preceive you. I'm not a mod, but I can strongly advice you to watch what you say. I have nothing to lose in this situation.

CrazyCougar
03-24-2004, 01:47 AM
Walmart, Kmart, Target and Best Buy stores have batches shipped to them throughout the entire release week. When sending out to a large retailer like those, they get more than just the new release in the fulfillment box. The number of fulfillment orders for the above chains is in the thousands. You should see the stack of orders when its carried out from the main office to the distribution line....LOL! It also depends on if the Walmart in your area placed an order for the product as well. I believe a certain number are predetermined, but any extra copies need to be ordered by the specific store.
