I am a geek... are you?
-
I admit it. I am a geek. Most particularly, I am a Star Wars geek. To my benefit, I am also an XBox geek. Combine these two facts along with the release of Knights of the Old Republic [^]this week and you have one very excited, distracted, and anxious geek sitting here at my desk. Certainly, I cannot be the only one here at CodeProject biting my nails. I consider myself lucky because I only got into the hype over the pending release about two weeks ago. I suppose others pre-ordered the game last May (talk about project over-runs). It feels like Christmas. :-D:-D:-D Okay, so there are plenty of Star Wars and XBox forums out there to sound off on, but when I want to talk to people I can relate to I come here. (If I could get my posts on other sites to increment my CP post count things might be different. :suss: ) Nah, truely I care about you guys more than them. ;) Did I mention that I am distracted?

You and are alike here, though I think I was waiting for it for 3 weeks instead of 2 :) I put in my pre-order about a week ago, hopefully EBGames will be like they were for Diablo II, with the package arriving the same day as the release date :) Somehow I doubt it though :(( James "I despise the city and much prefer being where a traffic jam means a line-up at McDonald's" Me when telling a friend why I wouldn't want to live with him

Yeah it is doubtful. Everytime their website ebgames.com says the product is now shipping on the ship date, and I go into my local EB their ship date is always one day more. Code4Food ---- "There is no try; only do or do not" -Yoda

I don't have a local store so I can't check them, but my past few experiences have been shakey at best. I did a pre-order on Freelancer, which had major shipping delays. The up-side was that they gave me free shipping and a $10 coupon off my next order. Before that they really messed up my order for Super Smash Bros. Melee. In the end I wound up cancelling my order and driving 180 miles round-trip to pick it up (I was ordering three copies, for myself and 2 friends). If I had to give them a letter grade, they'd get a C for pre-order shipments and an A for anything that hasn't come out within the previous few days. KotR comes out on my dad's birthday (and my sister's follows it two days later) so I don't mind if its late by a day or two, but I still paid for next-day shipping ;P James "I despise the city and much prefer being where a traffic jam means a line-up at McDonald's" Me when telling a friend why I wouldn't want to live with him

I just caught the tail end of it. As soon as I turned it on I heard Leela say, "Looks like you get to keep your lower horn." :-O That is going to be added to my sig rotation in the future. I am buying up the DVD collection. Soon, very soon the will all be mine.
