    No such luck in Colorado.

    Babbages has said they will get it in "tomorrow" every day since Tuesday 11/26. Maybe tomorrow will be the real tomorrow.

    Hastings says they have it on order with no ETA.

    Best Buy: Anarchy what? Notum Who?

    Target: Nope don't have that without even a second second to pause and think or look it up. I know they didn't even check or know what I was talking about, but even though I know they we're just trying to get me off the phone I'll betcha their pulled out of their ass answer was correct.

    Wal-Mart: What is that, oh a game? Yeah we have games, would you like to reserve a copy of Deer Hunter 4? It's the same thing right?

    My experience in New Orleans..

    Babbage's: "Could you spell that for me? Nodum? What?"

    Target: "We have a fine selection of winter apparel!"

    Best Buy: "What system is that for? PC? Have you checked the Xbox section?"

    Wal-mart: "I'm sorry, but we don't carry M-Rated games. And I just don't know how that copy of TLJ (M rated, for those that may not know) got up there."

    I have also told 3 clerks at various stores that they were fired.

    Thumbs down No Clue

    New York City here. I went to 2 EB's and 2 Software Ect. They had no clue what Anarchy Online or Notum Wars was. When asked they said "No Scheduled Release Date".

    I am in Texas too, and no luck. I had prepaid for it at one place they gave me my money back telling me sorry we are not going to get any in after all. Other than that its been a no go and trying to order online isnt working either as they are saying its on back order indefinitely.

    Well I'm in Texas. Had only a small snag getting 4 copies on release day.

    As far as I know, only EBGames (Electronics Boutique) carried it on release day.

    The thing is, without a lot of pre-orders, or extra hype. They loose money carrying the product on release day, unless they sell all the copies the same day. Reason being, overnight air shipping charges.

    So all the EB's I went to were only carrying a max of 3 copies on release day, unless they had pre-orders, and would be carrying up to 5 copies during their regular truck runs.

    CompUSA will stock Notum Wars, but not release day.
    Best Buy no longer stocks Anarchy Online
    GameStop's in my area no longer order PC software.

    So your best bet is EB.

    Also, for you slim few who know what Fry's is. They recieved Notum Wars the other day.

    Unhappy

    Well, called Fry's and they said they don't have it yet and don't know when/if they will get it. Tried EB but they are out too.

    For anyone in the Baltimore, and possibly DC area.

    I did some calling this morning and found out that the EB's still don't have NW in stock, but the Babbage's/GameStop's/Software Etc's all seem to have gotten shipments of NW in today. I picked up a copy at the Columbia Mall in Columbia, MD. They had to go in the back and get it from the shipment which had just arrived.

    Hope that helps someone

    Best Buy stopped carrying AO after their initial supplies of regular (non special-edition) AO ran out. So you don't hold your breath there.

    And Max... could you pick me up a copy and meet me in Gonzales? Baton Rouge is farrrr and Babbage's is saying they're not getting it in till tomorrow. Wierd thing is, they had AC2 on the shelves and I thought that wasn't coming out till the 6th? To top it off, they rearranged their store yesterday so now the PC games are in the back and the blasted PS2 games are in the front. Which sucks donkey.

    EB in the Paramus Park Mall in New Jersey had a bunch of copies on release day.... I just had to ask them to look through the games they'd received earlier that day.

    Note: This account was stolen from me by someone I thought I could trust. I didn't realize what was going on untill someone from my guild contacted me and let me know what was happening. Funcom was gracious enough to give the account back to me, the original owner, but the account is deactivated for the time being and my main concern was just getting it out of the hands of an unsavory character. Sorry for the drama.

    Finally

    Gamestop got about six copies in yesterday afternoon in the Dallas area - I snagged three (extra for a couple of guildies) - wish you all luck in finding some.
