2K3 has shipped!!!!!

[CrazyCougar]

Here it comes! Most likely the best football game to date for the Xbox!!! Way to raise the bar Sega!! next years titles should be oustanding from all the software companies!! I think I'll go wait outside EB's door until tomorrow!!! Or maybe I can hijack a UPS truck...LOL..just kidding Fed Government! That was not a terroristic threat!

Talk to ya tomorrow about the game!!!

[peejay2288]

I got $150 in my pocket right now and will burn $50 tommorrow for this game. I know it's worth it but will it be in stores that quick?

[CrazyCougar]

It will be in EB and Babbages definitely tomorrow as both companies have their product shipped at the same exact time. Trust me they are calling constantly to make sure the other companies shipment didnt leave before theirs..LOL...As for other retailers shipments will begin arriving tomorrow and there after.

that's good. i just hope I can get one at my local babbages before they're all gone.

[CrazyCougar]

Good luck! LOL!!! EB , Babbages, Toy R Us get the largest shipments. try any one fo those. Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc... only get a few copies per store. But they also get constant shipments.

yep, Mr Pimply-Faced EB guy told me today, both Madden and NFL2k3 will be on the shelves tmrrw.

EB website made it look like Madden was on sale today, but it was wrong.

[Bakeman]

I just called EB... they said Wednesday they'll have it..

BOOO that sucks!!!

[robnyack]

not my EB....the guy told me BOTH would be on the shelves tmmrw (tues)....if he knows what's good for him....he best be right

[CrazyCougar]

ALL EB's and Babbages will have them Tuesday, UNLESS the store is way out of the shipping lanes. Then that will cause and extra day to be added to the shipping time.

define where the "shipping lanes" are. I might as well die if babbages doesn't have 2K3 in tomorrow...

[CrazyCougar]

Well let me try to think of an exact example.........hmmmmmm...i gotta get my shipping books out at work to find one. But mostly its places that are 100 miles of a main interstate with very little commerce in the area

[Bakeman]

gah!

The EB games is about 1 mile off a MAJOR Highway here in California..... Interstate 15..

[CrazyCougar]

Then it should be there on their doorstep tomorrow

[CrazyCougar]

one other thing though!!!! EB, Babbages, and all retailers may hold their product til Wednesday to be sure every store has product to sell. That would suck but is a possibility.

[peejay2288]

This f*cks me off. The game is scheduled to come out in stores today!!! Why the f*ck don't they got it??? Babbages, Toys "r" Us, Bestbuy and Target all said tomorrow or later this week. What is their damn problem???

[ash]

I know my local gamestop got and sold copies of madden 2003 monday night. They only had enough copies for the preordered people though (I got mine!!), the rest woun't go on sale until Friday. It's probably the same with 2k3.

[Woocifer]

It was said to be shipped on the 13th, not necissarily sold on the 13th...so EB and the others are probably sitting there sticking to their word so they don't get in crap from the distributor or the head honchos and the publishers... It's stupid, very stupid and childish but this is business right?

[robphillips79]

Well 2k3 shipped on the 12th and usually that means it's on shelves the next day. I went to 4 local places today and nobody had it. Maybe I went too early. Should be in tomorrow for sure.

[Calve]

my eb said it was gonna be in on thursday thats so ***!!! they better have it tommorow

[CrazyCougar]

Approximately 200,000 units were shipped from a distribution facility in the Northeast on Monday throughout the day. Most shipment went out overnight to another distribution facility or directly to a store. All stores will have their product this week. But it is in the contract between Babbages and EB alone that one does not get the product before the other. So whatever they are doing with their product is out of our control now. It left our dock Monday and they are the owners of it now. Fines and lawsuits are involved within the business if this happens.
