Default Has it been released in stores?
I'm not seeing where it has, but I just got an e-mail notification from EA saying my pre-order has shipped. I find this curious as the web site doesn't even say it's been released.

It was available in my local Target stores yesterday. My EB games store gets it about noon today.
I'm worried that my latest Salvation Army donation will result in homeless people looking like sluts from the 90s.

It just depends on when the company ships to its stores and if they abide by the sell date or not. Target and Walmart usually sell stuff early and get away with it. Other stores do not.

Of course most of their companies ship to them today so the expansions don't show up until midday so you can't even get them when the stores open. It's annoying but not much you can do.

Hmm. Ok. Definitely annoying. It also says "The Sims&Trade: 2 Seasons" what the heck is that? I've never seen it referred to as The Sims & Trade. I didn't think Seasons was a business type expansion or am I totally misinterpreting the title? I thought it was just The Sims 2: Seasons.

My Walmart tends to get stuff late. I'm dropping by there today after school just in case, though.

I need some new belts anyway. D:

The display in my local Wal-Mart says it won't be released till tomorrow. So I would expect that is company wide. So anyone going to Wal-Mart today better wait till after midnight. Wal-Mart will not put stuff on shelfs early. At least mine won't.

I haven't been able to find it yet. Anyone in the Roseville, Clinton Twp. area in Michigan find it yet? Thanks!

I just got back from Target not 30 minutes ago, and they had about 15 copies. I got mine there. I'm happy now.

I was thinking about going by Gamestop today as they probably have it, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow. Well, I dunno. I really want it =P.

Bookstores refer to paperback books that are larger than your standard novel size as trade paperbacks, often shortened to trade. Did you also order the guide? Or was it a deal where you buy one and get the other? That's the only way it makes sense to me...

I just picked it up from Best Buy tonight. Apparently they are selling like 'hotcakes'. I only saw about 10 left on the shelf (they might have had another display somewhere else--I don't know.)

I won't be able to get my copy until this weekend (at the earliest). Which is a shame, since I really wanted to play it during my Spring Break, when I would actually have the time

Well Wal-Mart despite their display at the store entrance, the one that said it would be release today, didn't have it. Not really surprising. They never put games out when their released. It's usually the Friday after their released that they put games on their shelves.

I just bought it from walmart. Did you ask them, because with when I got pets I got it from walmart but I had to ask for it because they were lazy and "forgot" to unpack it.
