Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

Several Gamestop reps said it's showing backordered because it's shipping from a different warehouse, and that the status hasn't been updated on the website yet, but at least all the overnight orders were confirmed to have been shipped out today. Unless you've heard something completely different ?_?

And today was the ship date, you weren't supposed to be able to pick it up in-store until tommorrow. I really hate how Gamefaqs and most places show the ship date as the release date, since there's always the flood of people complaining that they didn't have it that day (not referring to you, just in general).

How ya doing, buddy?

That's just specifically what I've read. The only people I've talked to who have actually called all had overnight orders, so that may or may not mean anything.

The thing about the release date is that some stores actually do, and did for MGS3:S, carry the game on the date released and when it's a big title like GTA, Halo or anything like that then most often they'll have it on the Tuesday release date.

The last time I used GameStop to preorder anything was for Resident Evil 4 on the GC and they actually shipped the game out a day before the game's scheduled release date.

Stores usually do not get titles on the ship dates unless something ships early for some reason (Halo 2 would be an example) or if they live very very close to where it's shipped from, which it sounds like it might be in your case. It would've been great if I had that luck =/.

I've got two LE's preordered at a local EB, one for me and one for Skills. I'm worried about limited LE quantities, so I took the day off, and plan on camping out from when they open so hopefully I can get them, we'll have to see.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
