Graw Shortage As Predicted! Options

[davemire]

Well I am going to stop by after work (5 o'clock) and see what's available. Futureshop shows them as not in stock but I am sure they'll be there. I have some ps2 games I am going to trade in for whatever they'll give. I don't think I will have a problem getting it, we'll see.

The guy at my store said they got about 60 in, and 45 were preorder.

i wouldnt believe it. i can promise you that anyone can find the game easily enough. it may be sold out here and there but its not a shortage unless its really HARD to find which it wont be.

Just to report in: 3 local EBs sold out in 1 hour. My CC got 6 in, which I got one of. So, it really is looking like a potential shortage.

i understand it may be harder to find in some areas where previous demand wasnt high enough to warrent a large volume of games being shipped but just because some places sell out doesnt mean there is a shortage. to me a shortage is like what has happened with the 360, cant find it anywhere. what this sounds like to me is the game is just selling really really good. unlike consoles, games can be restocked a lot faster so whatever "shortage" that could be present will be quickly fixed. i honestly find it hard to believe that anyone can not in any ways find a copy in their town or city.

That would surprise me too, but I did pick mine up in Tampa, FL - not exactly BFE, if you know what I mean...I could see Raymond James Stadium from the parking lot.

I agree that they will be able to restock quickly, but I bet by this evening or tomorrow evening, there will be a shortage....for a day or so The fact that Circuit City only got 6 in should say something. When DOA came out, they had more than I could count.

Are you sure that means you will get one in the first shiptment?

I better, or else I'm shooting up the place

I feel pretty confident I'll be getting one.
The guy did say to expect a phone call from them.
If for what ever reason I can't get one, I'll just head over to Fry's where the game is being sold for less.

The logistics involved with pressing disc is not an issue at all.

This is "artificial demand", and you guys play right into it.

I traded 3 old xbox, a ps2 games and final destination 2 dvd for 9.40. total came out to be 50.59+tax.

That's absolutely obsurd. If they offer me that much for 3 ps2 games I will just sell them on ebay. My friend gave them to me so it's raw profit, but still. GT4, FFX, and FFX2 should catch more than $10.

You should get more than 10 bucks. my FFX2 cost them 4.80. the other 3 games are DOA3, PGR, and silent hill 2. they gave me a total of 3.60 and my dvd only saved me a buck.

No there are no game shortages....I work for Best Buy and each store gets over 60 games each.

The fact that not alot of people have 360s still makes it pretty easy to get games to. But to end this thing, Stop going to EB or Gamestop for games and if you go to major retailers you will find all the games that you need.

On my way to pick up both GRAW and Burnout! C-YA!

Yea thats true but right now I had to trade in a ton of stuff to pay for GRAW cuz I have no money so those major retailers kinda lose out in that dept.
