I finally found the game at Walmart!

August 14, 2004 7:23:12 PM from PoliticalMachine ForumsPoliticalMachine Forums
Ihave searched everywhere for the game. Finally found it at Walmart in Indiana, Pa about 60 miles from Pittsburgh, Pa. Great game thanks for creating it! Forget ebgames and gamestop.

Wal*Mart is where I bought the game too ... and then came to this site and found out that I didn't have a chance to buy the whole game...very disappointing. Had I known the retail version didn't have all the features I would have downloaded the game. Instead, I saw the box and was happy it was out and snagged it. Now I find I can't download the part available only to online purchases yet and I can't get the patch because again I didn't order online. Very very disappointing. It's like those of us who bought retail are second class customers.

Still there's a lot of promise to the game so it'll be fun to see where it goes from here.

By what I saw on the site, we (those that bought the retail version) will be able to get the add-on parts, but it will be a little later.

I'm a little disappointed in that as well, but it'll work out in the long run.


Meanwhile, I was very irritated at the local EB games, since I had put down a deposit and was waiting for "shipping date" to pass (which slipped by 2 days) only to find that when I went in the store to pick up the game yesterday, it wasn't there (even though the web site for EB Games showed available, ships in 24 hours, etc.).

I went to Best Buy and found the game on the shelf, paid my $19.99 and went right back to EB to have them cancel my pre-order (and apply the $$ to some big EA game, since they always get those "on time").

I swear EB sucks for non major releases, but what can we do short of buy elsewhere.

Be very thankful your local Wally World had it in stock. Every now and then they can surprise you.

What do you mean you don't have all the features? The retail game and our version is the same except for the operative's kit which doesn't add any features to the game itself and it's something you'll be able to get.

The 1.01 update will be generally available VERY SOON. Just ironing out additional tweaks to it.

If you have to put an "except" into a statement like that then it proves one version doesn't have all the features of the other, right?
