Well, I could always leave work early and head to Ottawa. Oh wait, I live in Vancouver- only 4000kms away.

EB in Vancouver will have the game in tommorrow. I'm going to reserve a copy tonight so I don't get screwed by the "oh-we-only-brought-in-2-copies-and-they-all-sold-out-in-five-minutes. sosorrykthxbye" BS.

Eteri, u gotta put the effort in and just call em up. one thing about EB is because they specialize in games they know when titles will arrive. When I called Bestbuy and Future Shop, they were a bunch of doofuses. hell, is "doofuses" even a word?

i called once for a wii game but when i got there they said,"the shipment hasn't arrived it will later this week" i got bummed and was mad too, so know i just go when i have the time,like when i go see movies etc ( cause ebgames is near) i pop my head in and see if a game i want is in stock or not.

hell, is "doofuses" even a word?


sadly no, checked it on Microsoft words.

Apparently there are 2 copies at the EB at the Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, or so my sister says. I expect Toronto must have a few by now.

It should be there I'm very close to Vancouver and I just got back from EB Games with a Copy of it. Going to try the largest default map with 9 Hard AIs as soon as I get it installed wonder how long it will take.

Why are most stores only buying 2-3 copies?

Because its not Halo 3 and they don't think people will be lining up for blocks for a copy.

Come on now guys just digitally download it. I live in Toronto but knew it would be a long wait even in the big city.

If, by any chance, you tried to grab any copies at Billings Bridge in Ottawa, I got one of the very few copies they got yesterday morning. I work at the CRA there, so I just walked in at 11am, asked for Sins, and they went and grabbed it out of the back for me . Not sure if there are any left...I didn't see any on the shelves today.

p.s.: nice to see so many people from Ottawa here =D.

I found that out too, so I bought online. Except the email I received from Stardock was missing the link to access it, so now I too have to wait.

Picked mine up yesterday at an EBGames in Chatham, Ontario. Last copy, too, it was the one they gutted to put on the shelf.

I considered it but it looked like a lot of people were having issues with the download. I used steam for HL2EP2 so it's not a technology or online purchase fear. I honestly never heard of Stardock before before Sins- perhaps in time I will trust Stardock like I trust Steam.

That, and like to hold and smell the shiny, new game in its box! woohoo! err i mean, Zonino!<---- look it up.

Thanks. as much as I would love to have a social, nose-picking party with you guys, I'll go play Crysis and DoD instead.
