Wal-Mart never has PC games on release day...

It really pisses me off.

They had the PS3 version on the shelf today but no PC or even 360 version in sight.

So, it looks like I'm waiting to get it. There is a gamestop around here, its just a matter of having time to go there when I work all day.

Bought my copy from MicroCenter. They seem to have PC games stocked and ready for release day.

I really like the graphics of this game. It seems great overall except for the number of random faces!

Wal-Mart around here is probably the premier PC games dealer, which is sad. They have a large aisle filled with games and get them pretty much on release day. Gamestop has a small shelf and only get the games at release (or at all, really) if you preorder. Best Buy has a decent sized aisle, but it's all casual stuff and never out on release.

around here, PC section in Best Buy is larger then each console section (not all console combined). PC section in Fry's is larger then all console sections combined. Gamestop/EB has no PC games.

Our Wal-Mart's PC section is reasonably sized and since I work there I keep it pretty tidy, but they just never seem to send us PC games on time for some reason.

Some will come in weeks in advance, while others don't show up for days after release... basically ruining our sales of that game and all others since people tend to go elsewhere for new releases.

We've had a Gamestop for around 2 years now and I just went in there for the first time last week. They have a single TINY rack of PC games... they didn't even give them any wall space. And to make it even worse, all of the wall space that could be taken up by PC games is filled with empty Gamestop boxes, just to take up space.

It was pretty much what I expected from a place like that.

I really wish we had a Best Buy or a Fry's.

I reaaaaallly miss the days when I could walk into an Electronics Boutique and see floor to ceiling PC games covering an entire wall... and that wasn't counting the pre-owned games... yeah, they actually sold pre-owned PC games. I remember going to EB 2 days before christmas because I had gotten gifts for everyone and still had some money burning in my pocket, so I bought a big arm load of cheap\clearance PC games for like $50.

Thankfully, Steam and GoGamer let me do that online, but its just not the same.

Please don't mention Electronics Boutique/EBX while Im around, it makes me sad that theyre not around anymore.

jAkUp · 07-01-09, 01:27 AM

This game is fantastic! Runs great, plays great, and looks excellent

Very nice:

They really pissed me off a few times with their game trade in deals, but now that they're gone I definitely miss them.
