Raymond Babbitt: "Wal-Mark Sucks"

[ADBjester]

So, I show up to my local Wal-Mart at 11:50 pm, as they have a "12:01 am" advert at the door. I'm stoked, and planning on making a late night of it, kids' school prep in the morning be damned.

Only Wal-Mart is full of fertilizer.

They don't have it.

They have Limited Edition Bundles.... but no "software only".

Um, people..... if we're showing up at midnight that stoked to buy the game, do you think that just MAYBE we already have some instruments from any of: RB1, RB2, GH, GH2, GH3, GHWT, GHA, GH5

Wal-Mart loses a sale. I buy tomorrow at Best Buy where they are running BOGOHO on PS3 games.

GG, Wal-Mart.

all they had was bundles at my walmart too

What's worse is the fact that on the doors over the security things they have a promo for the game, and it's just the software and it says 9/9/09.

[l-o-t]

Really? My situation is opposite. I really want the limited edition despite having a lot of instruments already. I go to Wal-Mart 5 minutes before closing to see just how many they will have. And they are all secretive about it.

Employee- "Beatles Rock Band? That's not out til tomorrow."
Me- "Yes, I know. But how many LE bundles do you have?"
E- "We Don't know. They're all in the back room."
Me- "Well... Could you go look?"
E- "Um... No, actually."

I explained that I wanted to know how early I had to show up before the store opens in order to ensure that I had a copy coming to me but still no proper answer did I receive. Oh well. Here's hoping for me...

Guess I was lucky enough to have a good walmart (first time I've ever been able to say that about this particular location...)

I read this thread before I left, and tried calling on my way there. They picked up and I asked "Hey, do you have The Beatles: Rock Band game disk only for PS3?"

their response was "Well, I would think so...all of that should be out at midnight"

and I explained how some walmarts only had the bundle. So, I went in and was actually the only one there to get the game. It took them about 15 minutes to go acquire it, but I got the game only with no hitch.

Played a couple songs, now I'm off to bed...work in a few hours.

hah i had same problem xD' i went couple days ago and they told me sold out of normal but had LE in back, i come in 9/8/9 at 11:59 and they said wait till 12:01 and all the brought out was LE saying ups or soemthing would bring in game, i call next closest walmart, they said they have, and now i own Beatles RB for Wii

the Walmart I went to had the game standalone, but for the guitars, they only had the Rickenbacker

[JohnnygoWalker]

I had no problem at all at my walmart. I showed up at 11:50ish and browsed around. 12:01 came and I'm thinking where is the game. 5 minutes pass and at 12:06 a manager comes back and asks the two employees in the electronics department, why they have not put the beatles game out. He said "That game should have been on the shelves at 12:01 we need to get it on the shelf now!" so I let them do their stocking, and made it out of there with the game at 12:18. They had several bundles, tons of the games alone, and more than several guitar packs. They even had mics in stand alone packaging. I was the only one there to get the game. So I bought my PS3 copy and the 360 copy for my brother.
