Don't you hate it when ...

[MygL]

Happened when I bought Brawl... Good thing I only had to wait a week to get it.

 

[bittermeat]

Naw. It never happened to me. Recently, I've only been buying games on their release date.

 

[coffeebean!]

Yeah I hate that |:<

There's this miracle to solve your problem... starts with 'int' and ends with 'ernet'.

Not everyone can or is allowed to order games online.

You can check if it is in stock.

There is also this tool called the phone.

I've never used one. I've heard they're quite useful.

You want a certain game, you know where it's at, but then once you get to the store it's sold out or out of stock?

Ohh yes.

When i wanted Super Mario Galxy Wal-Mart didnt have it (exept onlive) Game Stop didnt have it, and Target didnt have it!

So i waited a week to see if any of the stores hade it restocked or something NOPE nothing so my mom just order it online and in 7 weeks it came ~_~

that was a long 7 weeks!

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Couldn't find the blasted thing anywhere til recently, got it cheap too. 15 bucks, and it just went Greatest Hits which would have made it 30 bucks and I bought Gran Tursimo 5 Prologue for 5 bucks(30 bucks, just went Greatest also).

Yes, but what if the game isn't in stock, and the only way to get it is to order it online?

That's where you get creative. I had that dilemma once.

What I did was, I asked a friend a favor if he could order it for me, and when he did, I paid him everything (including S&H) when it came.

 

[melly]

preorder! it works! you get the day it comes out
it took nearly a decade to learn this

They have it at the GameStop near me, lol.

 

[beehdaubs]

Yes. Finding the "Warcraft Battle Chest" was a nightmare <_<
Wal-Mart was sold out, Target didn't sell it, and Gamestop knew nothing about it <_<

 

[cornymikey]

well, it took me sooo long to get a wii! eventually my friend got it before me and he sold it to me. >_>

 

[Kiley]

[Robin]

I do. Somehow, it always happens to me.

 

[Caleb]
