A lot of preorders are being sent out early it seems. So if you've preordered and aren't having it mailed, you may want to check and see if your store is selling them now.

I haven't had any dispatch emails yet, but GAME has sent a payment receipt yesterday so I'm expecting one copy to arrive on Friday at the earliest. Amazon has guaranteed a release date arrival so I'm happy enough.
 
Woops. Forum is glitching, this post should fix it.

I'm downloading mine, but to be honest if downloading weren't an option I'd most likely find one of my stores selling at midnight and wait for it there. lol

The store I have them preordered at is doing a midnight release, but I'll probably just wait till Saturday morning.
 
I got my pre-order from Amazon, it's currently saying the estimated delivery is next Wednesday. Considering they're supposed to dispatch for the release day and I paid for first class postage, I better get it on Saturday. If not, I'll be avoiding the internet as much as possible so as not to find out every single detail about the game before I get chance to play.
 
I wish my local Gamestop was doing a midnight release. v_v

I'd probably hurry in the morning (if I'm not tired from the night before)!
 
I can't wait for Friday night to download it. Had to go to a couple stores to find a $50 eShop gift card, since my state has sales tax and buying two $20 cards would not have cut it.

I would have pre-ordered from Amazon, but Nintendo likes to release games on crappy days like Sundays and in this case, the Saturday before a federal holiday in the U.S. (Columbus Day woohoo!), so people are noticing that Amazon says it won't be delivered before the 16th.

Fyi if you change your Club Nintendo to say 99501 you won't be charge tax. Nearly every game I own on my 3DS is from the eshop and I have yet to pay taxes. It's kind of bull**** Nintendo charges taxes when I never had to on PSN or Steam.
 
I have a feeling I'll end up waking up really early on Saturday morning, and just spend hours staring at a clock until the game store opens.

I don't mind paying sales tax, since I'd be paying sales tax if I purchased the game through Amazon or at a local Target/Walmart/Fred Meyer.

What I don't like is Nintendo's prepaid system. I'd like to be able to just pay for the cost of the game + sales tax, rather than have some money left over.
 
I'm gonna be SOOOOO pissed if my gamestop isn't doing a midnight release. I wanna be one of those first ppl to get it!!
And then not sleep till Sunday cause I'd be playing it all weekend.

This is exactly why I cancelled my preorder and got an eShop card, so I could download it at Midnight. lol.

I would if I had enough space on my SD card and 2 extra prepaid cards.

Did you know that if you go to buy anything and you don't have enough funds, there's a choice to buy just enough.

Oops i totally forgot about the SD card problem... I'll delete all my pictures XD i want to download the game... I know for SURE my GameStop will just say "we only have copies for preorders." It's Pokemon after all. My mom doesn't like using her card so I'll probably buy it at like Target or something.
 
Just got back from GameStop.
I got a two-sided poster!
Nintendo is evil.
I can't decide which one I like best ;_;

The two sided poster is like so impolite that I'd probably carefully rip it in half through the poster to get both sides XD
 
Alright, went with the Kalos poster.
Just to remind me how awesome X & Y will be when they come out.
Loving the region so far.
