I just noticed that GameStop and EBGames website changed their ship date from yesterday to today. I guess that means I probably won't be getting it until tomorrow :(
Or maybe they're just confused and their copies are sitting in a back room in a cardboard box... :shifty: I should at least give em call.

... idea!! Take your date to the store to buy Titan Quest. :)
I'm sure she'll be impressed by your determination and drive to do things in a timely manor.

The preordered date in The netherlands changed from today to tomorrow. Perhaps in the weekend I can play the game...

Since this weekend is going to be a four day affair, I just hope I have it by then. My wife is planning to spend the weekend playing Neverwinter and I don't want to be the one with nothing to do.

Update :
Ok Eb Games/Gamestop online pre-orders are going out today 100%...
They just received the stock and are fixing to ship them out...
Now does this mean the physical stores will also recieve them tomorrow? Or later this afternoon?
After calling a few stores here in florida it seems some now have updated info in their computers that say tomorrow.. <sigh>

My experience has been that ON the "ship" date, they are loading the game up on a truck that's gonna drive to the local stores from the distribution center. The problem is that unless the local store is really close to the distrubution center, they won't get it until the next day.
So every time I see a ship date for a game, I just assume I won't be able to get it until the next day.

What a bummer if that's true.
I called several Gamestop's yesterday, and all assured me it'd be in today. However I've never worked with a more lazy, incompetant company than a local Gamestop. Not one employee I called did any checking, despite my pleading. One faked it by pressing buttons on his computer, I'm not convinced.
On the other hand I've never seen them *not* get their new games in on Tuesday afternoon. This would be a first.
Also, the Best Buys here are very good about stocking new games Tuesday afternoon. If this only affected Gamestop/EB, then they'll be losing my business.

Dear people who already got the game and are loving it,
we, the undersigned, wish to impress upon you how much we think you suck.
Sincerely,
people who have not got their copy yet:

UPDATE:
Just talked to my local EB and they said they didn't get TQ in their shipment, and the same goes for Gamestop. Looks like I'll be waiting until tomorrow *single tear*

Apparently, the Best Buy near me just got theirs in. Says so on the Best Buy page anyhow, where it didn't this morning. =)

I can confirm that all Best Buys in the NJ/NY area now have TQ in stock. I just purchased my copy from a Best Buy in Manhattan.
EB/Gamestop have failed to get a new release out on time once again...

According to their web site, most Best Buys here in St. Louis have it in stock. On my way to get one in a few...
Best Buy beats GS/EB on a PC game? This has got to be a first.

I'm done with EB/Gamestop for games. thats it ...it's over
They updated their web page and bnumped the ship date a day as well.
Another wasted preorder and trip to BB today I guess
They will be gone soon enough as their used game cartel is the only thing keeping them afloat...

Check the Best Buy website as Icarus suggests. I did, ordered online, and picked up the DVD version moments ago. W00T! When I went in store, the game wasn't yet on display, and the guy had to go to the back to grab my game. I somehow doubt asking one of the "helpful" Best Buy employees on the floor would've gotten me my game (since this morning the guy looked at me blankly and I swear I heard a phone "busy tone").
Now, to install.... :)

Check with Gamestop/EB that your deposit is refundable (or store credit). It should be.
Now call your local Best Buy (or check online, very convenient). They should have them in by now.
Go buy it at Best Buy. Call EB/Gamestop and tell them tough luck.

I don't have a best buy close to me, but I called eb/gamestop, circuit city, walmart, and target and none had it in today.
Maybe THQ is here to blame as they didn't allow enough shipping time to make a same day release in US stores, especially east coast.
On a side note regarding EB, they no longer have their major distribution warehouse in West Chester, PA. http://www.stewart.com/news.jsp?newsId=28283 Before that I've never had a problem with a game not being released on time from EB.
