If this is in fact still happening, it must just use your scores from offline BWT.

It's just a leaderboard. Think Guitar Hero 2. It keeps track of your local play band's highest score on a certain song, and compares it to everyone else. It doesn't say anything about the BTW itself being online, just that the leaderboard would be.

heh heh... Enter the sandman... But yeah, I hope that is the size of the box as pictured. Most likely I'll have to lug it on the bus with me (luckily it's a one way trip with no transfers). It'll be a nightmare though if it really does come out black friday. The bus will surely be crowded and the mall I have it pre-ordered at is somewhat in "the ghetto" and the bus goes by a High School. I'm planning on taking a large black garbage bag with me to put the box in, so I hope that keeps curious eyes away.

Doesn't really matter how stable they are now. EA shuts down their servers once a game is two years old.

The way my mall is situated, I have to walk through a bunch of clothing stores with small aisles that are usually full of people. Add to that, that I'm planning on picking up Mass Effect the same as well, I'm going to have my hands full (literally). On top of my Gamestop being absolutely tiny and you have yourself a hell of a journey.

I'll be ready. I figure after some assembly and driving time I'll be ready to go at 11 am. I have no work on Tuesdays so you better be ready to rock out around that time.

On a side note. It's too bad that I'm buying Uncharted the same day and it's just going to sit there until I get over that initial Rock Band fix. It make take several days to pop that game in.

this moment reminds me of when the PSP was first released, I just stared at it until it was completely charged. Then when that orange light turned into a green one, I played Ridge Racer for hours! I plan to do the same for RB...times ten. :D
I am glad to see that the box looks smaller than I thought.

Man, I'm lucky -- mine's preordered at a GameCrazy in an open air strip mall. No mall to weave through, no huddled masses to deal with, even if it does hit on Black Friday. It's flanked by a karate instructor and a video rental shop, not exactly hot ticket shopping zones.

Still, the GC is not the most reliable for getting things on ship day... and with a package this bizarre, who knows. I'll cross my fingers. This is gonna be an agonizing multi-week wait...

Sadly it's going to be a slow burn for me.

I'm Canadian, but going to be visiting the in-laws in the USA for Thanksgiving, so I get to bypass all the delayed Canadian ship date insanity and just have the game delivered to the town my in-laws live at. Unfortunately, I don't return back to Canada until the weekend, so there will be a tense few days where I prowl around the box, caress the instruments, read the manual... and be absolutely unable to do anything about it until I get back from the airport.

Oh well. All good things to those who wait.
