Evening everyone.
Just wanted to post some observations I've made this weekend.
I went to several stores in and around San Antonio today, asking for rock band, and interestingly, alot of employees had no idea, but a few did know about it. For example, a New Braunfels walmart had the game only, but the manager told me that that's all they had and if anything else was coming in that it would be in tomorrow or monday. Circuit City said they had nothing. Several other walmarts said they didnt have it. However, one walmart I called a younger guy answered and said that he couldnt sell it but to go in at midnight and ask to pull one from the back. I went to that same walmart later and asked an older man, and he looked at the ceiling as if thinking of a response, and pointed to the game case saying if they had it it would be in the case, although i never said i was looking for a game. hmm.....
no dice at hastings either.
I know that newegg.com is still taking pre-orders, i don't know if many people have been placing orders there or not, but it's cheaper and 4.99 3-day shipping. I preordered mine on tuesday there.
Also, i went to two best buys and many walmarts here and have seen no demos yet, even though San Antonio has a ton of walmarts and best buys.

Comments anyone?

I thought that newegg was back-ordered...

well, from my order it says pre-order/backorder - I think they are treated the same
Ive called new egg and asked about it, and they say they had nothing in the warehouse as of yet and couldnt ship anything until tuesday, so......who knows (this was like Thursday when i called)

I've refrained from pre-ordering from newegg because I find it very hard to believe they're going to fill all of their pre-orders anytime in the next 2 months, let alone next week.

i have two fairly early preorders (360 vers). if i get both, and somebody gets stuck without one, ill sell it at cost, you pay shipping. Have a cousin here i offered the same deal to, ill know the day it comes out if he wants first crack at it, though i doubt it, he is pretty tight when it comes to funds. and if he REALLY wants it, he will be at BB midnight anyway.

nice to see a fellow San Antonian. I preordered mine back in early November at a Gamestop on the northwest side.
