Well, here's my sob story.
I've been on a call list at GameStop since they said this thing was coming out. Well, my best friend's dad died Saturday. Guess where I was going to be all day Tuesday. That's right. I'm there with him and his family. This is also at my home town on BFE. BFE has no cell service.
Well, I get up Tuesday morning and see that Amazon and Best Buy had opened preorders in the middle of the night. It can't hurt to stop at GameStop to see if they will open up theirs too. I kill time until 10:00c when GameStop opens and they don't know anything about it. Oh well, I've got to get to this funeral at 11:00.
I sit through the funeral and all the hugs afterwards. I get headed back toward my house at 1:30. When I get back to cellphone range, my phones blows up. The GameStop manager, 3 friends, and a dude I kinda know have all text me. I call the store back and they tell me if I get there right now he can secure one of those bundles. At this point, I'm an hour away; but I'm going to try anyway. By the time I get there, there's nothing.
I was first on the call list and didn't get one. I stopped by that morning and didn't get one. The poor folks at GameStop are always good to me and especially that girl I talked to at 10am felt bad. Oh well.
Now, from September 29th through Christmas, the hunt will be on. I will find one, and when I do, I will buy it.
