In Stores August 10, but which ones?

from PolMach Forums
Out of curiousity, for those of us that didn't pre-order the game, at what stores will we be able to purchase the game on release day?

Well both EBGames and Gamestop are showing a release date of 8/10.
However, from past experience, the release date is usually the date they ship out of the main distribution center.
The actual stores usually dont get the item until the next day (which would be the 11th).
But sometimes there is delays in shipping and depending on the demand and the distance from the distribution center, some of the stores dont get them until a few days later.

I would still recommend ordering the game directly from the manufacturer as you get the extras and the editing tools.
I usually wait to get the games in the stores as my experience from on line ordering is that I always end up getting the game after it appears on shelves. However, I think the extras are well worth the wait and extra expense.

Under normal circumstances I would purchase it online as well to acquire the extras. However, my cousin started a video game and hardware review site about a week ago (cheap plug: www.bonafidereviews.com), and I'm a review writer for the site. I want to get the game itself as quickly as possible in order to review the game as quickly as possible after the release.

The EBGames and Gamestops in my area are usually pretty good about getting games on the day of their official release, so I'll be looking and asking around for it tommorrow.

EBgames and Gamestop both have pushed the ship date back to the 11th. It appears now that the release date will actually be the 12th.

I must say that if the totalgaming.net version comes up today, but the regular release version comes out late, I will not be pleased. Why even release to retailers if retail customers are going to be treated like 2nd class citizens?
