Still not available here in Niagara, or the Hamilton locations I checked. The manager at the store says nothing has come in at all to them. The head office is apparently at a big corporate circle jerk...errr conference so they can't even get a hold of anyone until late tommorow or Friday.
I asked about a possible discount when the game comes in and the store said thats out of their hands so I don't even think I'm going to get the game. I SHOULD NOT have to reward incompetence financially and the money I have down on the game so far is only 5 dollars so meh if that gets wasted. The RWC is almost half over(in terms of matches) and the game has been out for a considerable time so the buzz is gone. One of my worries about the game was that the limited gameplay modes and focus on the RWC would give it a relatively short lifespan with the length of time its taken to get to me these concerns are just too much for me to pay full value for it.
I understand HB isn't responsible for EB games end of things, but my gameplay concerns were at their feet, and whoever made the decision to push back the release date to September 6th in the first place (due to Madden????) needs their head checked as well only having one retail outlet leaves you open to these sorts of things happening.
Maybe if someone from Canada sees this and lets me know when the stores are clearing out copies on the dirt cheap I'll check out the game, but like I said I will probably won't bother if it's just being cleared out of EB.
I'm actually pretty upset about the whole situation as the principal of taking my money to reserve something(albeit only 5 dollars, not icluding the gas I spent to get to the damn store) and than not providing it or offering a discount when it arrives in time for the 2015 RWC is frankly crap.
