So, I wasn't planning to pre-order, really, figuring I would just stop by some time Tuesday and pick it. After hearing how many people have been able to get it early, I figured I would call my local gamestore and see if they had it.

They did, but they only had ONE copy for the PC.  They had eleven for the xbox 360, and ten of those had already been preordered.  Luckily, I was able to preorder the PC version right then and there, so thank God I thought to call.

Guys waiting for the last minute, you might want to do the same.  I'd hate for anyone to miss out just because they assumed the stores would have plenty of copies, like I did. :(

Same thing happened to me with Fallout 3. I went to the midnight opening to pick up a copy and the store had 20 copies on XBox (all sold old) and only 3 copies on PC. I got the third, at midnight. AND I lived in a major metropolitan area at the time, not some podunk little town with only 1 video game store.

well considering i never can get a midnight release unless i live near amsterdam and other major cities within the netherlands, its of no use to me. So i just pre order early.

I miss those old hobby stores where they knew you when you walked in and if you asked them to order something for you, they'd do it. I know I can have anything I want nowadays with the internet, but that feeling sure was special when the guy behind the counter knew you and went out of his way to hook you up with what you wanted.

I wish I'd been able to experience that.

@Darpaek I second that. I still have it for my local musicstore(YES I still buy music), you also can order concert-tickets or sometimes can even get me on the guest/promo/journalist - list
