OMG! Reading this message I went to the gamestore here, asked a guy that knows my face as I know his if he already has DA:O. He looked in the back, came back with the CE and sold it! Even with the 10% discount that store has if you have its card!

Just played the starting cutscene of my human noble rogue! Alt-tabbed out to tell you guys! So excited! *back to playing*



................. I am jealous

If he has any sense, he won't see your post for HOURS, since he'll be playing the game. Heh.

Hmmm one could hope (for ours the gamers sake, not for EA's sake) that this news starts an avalanche of early sales, (Many retailers operate if they are selling it, we will too... policy)



*crosses fingers*



Sigh... bet this wont happen though.

Yeah you're probably right..
Or not at all.

Besides, it really doesn't matter, I'll still have to wait, about 11 more days..

To the OP....did the Wal-Mart manager/associate or whoever tell you when the inventory lock out would end? I wonder if it will be 00:01 Tuesday morning??? As I'm planning on checking Walmart @ that time it would be good to know....I will raise a stink if they don't sell it to me on 11/3 as I doubt the street date sticker includes a time as well....

I would steal it and then send them the money^^

What good would that do you considering that your chances of getting caught and sent to jail before leaving the store are 99%. Their scanners will pick up the game if not cleared at the main desk and their employees near the door will ensure you don't go around the scanners.

the walmart closet to me they have people walk out the door with the scanner alarm going off and they just keep going and the walmart employes dont even try to stop them to check it

 I'm almost certain that its out here too.
There's an electronics and computers chain in Israel that sends their catalog every month, and it arrives with the newspaper...
So anyway today I received their November catalog and it said they have Dragon Age! (it was under "New Games", not "Coming Soon"!)
So I'm gonna check it out tomorrow. Hopefully I'm right and they have it! :)

My Walmart (store number one, no less<_<) does the same thing. Most of the people at the door are either disabled or old. Just take off running and hope the cart pushers are busy.

DISCLAIMER: I do not actually condone theft. You will get in trouble and it hurts you more than it hurts the store. DO NOT SHOPLIFT.

In Canada you can't be sent to jail until AFTER you left the store... you haven't committed any offence until you've set foot out of the store...

There was no street date sticker on it.  I didn't bother asking as my local Walmart closes at 11 PM and opens at 7 AM.   However on the 3rd, (unless my preorder has arrived by then) I will go to the Electronics dept and if it's not on the shelf - I will demand it.  :D

Enough on the shoplifting discussion. If you want to talk about Dragon Age sightings, please start a new thread for it.
