does your store have it yet? at the time I'm posting this, no one in the US has seen it at retail (if they have, they havent mentioned it online). just keep calling those stores! the employees at gamestop love it when you scream "RPG MAKER 3" into the phone and hang up, then start dialing again before they can even answer.

Don't worry, it hasnt been delayed. Sample Clown just ate all the trucks.

i called my gamestop and guy said the computer says it's "out". but, he hasn't got it(meaning ups hasn't dropped it off) or put it on the shelf yet. just a matter of time now...

A brief snippet from the past several hours of phone conversations with EBGames:

"Is it there yet?"
"No."
"Is it there yet?"
"No."
"Is it there yet?"
"No."
"Is it there yet?"
"No."

I think I might just wait at the counter for a few hours and ask in person... :hyper

This is the longest 24 hours ever.

Yes... I have to day off today... I was gonna stop buy EBgames early and pick up my copy... But they won't have them until tomorrow. =(

Me, too... Now I have to work tomorrow, and pick it up on the way home... That totally bites, man.

Oh man.

I just called EB Games, Gamestop, Target, Best Buy, Media Play, and Game Crazy. None of them have it yet.

I will say this. The guy at Media Play was very helpful. He even knew the RPGMaker series. He told me Media Play might not have even ordered it, and if they did, it might be there tonight or tomorrow. He told me chances are slim though.

Actually, i'm impatient. I think i'm just going to buy it online tonight from EBGames and pay $10 for next day shipping so I can get it tomorrow, or the next day at latest. I don't want to wait the next few days just to find out they won't have it. >.<

My Gamestop said tomorrow. It ships today; will be available tomorrow.
Still really close though. I can't wait!!!

Why Doesn't the website have the game. i would think it would be on there first.

I've called gamestop and they did'nt have it and i preordered months ago.

Necromancy

Aye, I keep getting told to call back tomorrow and they should have it.

I'll just wait and call all these stores again tomorrow. That means another day...

If it doesn't come out tommorow I will be sad.

I will be horrified.

And sad.

09-20-2005, 07:52 PM
Ugh, I was lied to. EB Games won't have it today. Moreover, if it's in stock by tomorrow, us canadians probably won't have it 'til Thursday.

Haven't we come to expect this of low profile games?

All the stores around here recieve their shipments on Tuesdays. Which means, I won't be able to get it until next week.:(:(x20 more

The people we annoyed with this game coming out soon have attacked all the trucks. They heard what we said and wanted it but since they looked like they didn't want it, when we annoyed them, they didn't want to let us know.


Anyway I won't have it for two more weeks. This isn't really effecting me on when I get it. But I was still looking forward to listenning to what people thought of it.

Valkysas
09-20-2005, 08:37 PM
if it makes you feel any better, I enjoy the hell out of it. and John Mora, who got the game from agetec a few days ago, is likely ignoring it entirely.

Games stores often times seem to start selling games a day after they arrive, at least in my area, I remember having to wait an extra day for Devil May Cry 3 as well. The EB Games near me is getting RPGM3 tomorrow which means I'll have it tomorrow.

marcus
09-20-2005, 09:44 PM
Other way around for me. My local EB games store usually sells the games the day of or sometimes as soon as they recieve the shipment (which is usually 2-3 days before the release date). Some games that come on the top of my head that they sold early are:

-Armored Core 3
-Rpg Maker 2
-Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (they got in trouble for this one)
-Final Fantasy XI
-Final Fantasy X
-Chronicles of Riddick

I remember seeing those in store before the posted release date... AND NOW THEY'RE NOT STOCKING THIS GAME UNTIL TOMORROW URGH!!!!!

I put down five dollars for RM3 months ago, and will mostly likely get a call from Gamestop tomorrow about it, but I'm not going to go pick it up.

09-20-2005, 10:08 PM
I'm calling all my stores again tomorrow.

Until I bug 'em enough that they give me a copy.

Valkysas
09-20-2005, 10:17 PM
no one is going to be putting any agetec games out early anymore, marcus. Agetec has been slapping everyone with fines that were putting their titles out before the

Before the what?

Ha, I remember getting that before the copyrighted year on the box in December.

Yeah, Gamestop won't get it til Wed afternoon....which is a pain since it shiped yesterday according to them! I have to work tommorrow and I probably won't be able to play it until the weekend now...this....sucks...

I'll be picking up copy up tommorrow. Luckily I am off the next two days. :)

This is the first time I've ever tried to buy a game as soon as it came out so this is frustrating the heck out of me as I've never had to deal with it before. Why can't it be like when I went over to Babbage's a month before the slim PS2's were supposed to be out to see when they'd have them and the guy says "We have some already. Wanna buy our last one?" Or like when I bought RM1 and none of the game stores had it so I went to Best Buy to look at DVDs and there it was just sitting on the PS1 shelf.

I never found RPG Maker on the shelves back in California during summer. I had to special order it.

Come to think of it, every RPG Maker I purchased to date I got via special order.

Chuck
09-21-2005, 12:12 AM
I picked up RM2 off the shelf. I was debating whether I'd get it or not when I saw GameStop.com had it for $17 and the store locator said my local GameStop had a copy. Then by the time I made up my mind the site said my store didn't have it so I order it online. Not only was the disc in a cardboard holder with no booklet, it didn't even work!! :angry Then I ended up in Babbage's (I think) at the mall a few days later and there it was. Case, manual and all for $17. Plus it actually worked.

Biggie
09-21-2005, 01:24 AM
Gamestop said its going to be there tomorrow. And I may be wrong, but I remember reading at the agetec website that it "ships" sep 20th. But I cant find it now, but hell, I can wait. Gives me more time to put into my idea.

Goufunaki
09-21-2005, 02:03 AM
The EB in my area says they will have it by the 21st.

Necromancy
09-21-2005, 07:41 AM
Mmm.

Today's the day!

There's no excuse for EB or Gamestop not to have it. Sure, I have to wait until 4:30 to call. But I shall call. RPGM3...will be mine...

marcus
09-21-2005, 08:08 AM
I'm going to call on the hour, every hour, starting the moment they open. By the time they finally stock the shelves, the clerk will probably be bald from pulling her hair out.

pinkymadigan
09-21-2005, 08:14 AM
I should have my copy about 2ish.

JDonahue
09-21-2005, 08:58 AM
It usually is put out on the shelfs the day after the game comes out.

But once I get it, I will test the game's function. If it passes, than I may start creating games. If it doesn't, than...well, I will just have to wait till the next RPG Maker game comes out. The first two RPG Maker games stunk, so I hope this one's the charm.

I'm bringing Atelier Iris with me to work, JUST so I can trade that piece of crap in and get a few bucks off of RPG Maker 3 when I pick it up on the way home! It's gonna be awesome! I'm totally calling in to work tomorrow!

I hear ya. I'm trading in TOM CLANCY PWOER PCAK!! (splinter cell, rainbow six 3, and ghost recon in one box) as well as KINGDUM UNDRE FIRE so I don't have to use up my burger king money. I already have $20 down payment on it.

09-21-2005, 12:39 PM
Okay, my anger can't be any higher right now. They've been pitching "21ST!!!!" for the past few days, I just called in and NOW they're telling me "22ND LOL!"

Seriously, wtf? Let's get our priorities straight, plz.

OldSage
09-21-2005, 01:41 PM
Was just notified by my local EB Games that the release has been bumped back to the 22nd.

Frustration!!!!!!!! EB has indeed bumped it back to tomorrow, totally shooting my plans for the night in the foot. Words cannot describe the agony of the wait and frustration.

09-21-2005, 03:29 PM
I've been all over, and yeah, my EB says the same thing. I'm checking my local Gamestop, although I am loathe to do so (morons work there). If not, I'm going to start killing people.

My Gamestop had enough copies to only cover their pre-orders, and WOULD NOT sell me the game. :thumbsdow :vomit :explosion :! :no :shot :shutup :shakefist

I wish I had a gamestop...but alas...I will have to wait tommorrow as well.... :(

I got lucky. I found a Gamestop near my house and got their last copy! :D

Same!

I just picked it up near my house. Last copy!

I am overjoyed. Who needs dinner? I'm off to play RPGM3! :explosion

I wish I had money so I could get the game, I have been waiting a very long time for this game and I can't get it till most likely the next shipment! aaaah!

Loki
09-21-2005, 06:49 PM
I got the last copy too.

Now to make my epic masterpiece "The Legend of Bob."

pinkymadigan
09-21-2005, 07:05 PM
I already have mine paid for at EB though, so finding it at Gamestop would cause a large struggle between myself and myself as to whether I thought I could get my money back at EB or not.

today was the day of the RPGM3. I touched the booklet, leafed through it, and put it back. The folks @ game stop had a big box full of new shipments today . customers and employees were rummaging at the new thingies. i couldn't pay for rpgm3 yet. soon.....

ooooh the video on agetec is cool too...... i am very excited.......

CyShana
09-22-2005, 02:11 AM
I got mine about 6:30 this evening. The only reason my Gamestop had one left is because I reserved it a month ago. I haven't tried it out yet. I've never used one before. I'm nervous.

I got it yesterday...(well, I haven't slept since I got it, because of my wacky sleeping schedule...)

Finally...

When I walked into GameStop yesterday the first thing I saw was a little poster of the RPG Maker 3 cover in thier new release display. I managed to not jump up and down and squeal like a little girl.

pinkymadigan
09-22-2005, 12:13 PM
Awaiting my call from EB. EBgames.com finally upgraded it to "Usually ships within 24 hours" so if it wasn't sent yesterday, it should at least be there by tomorrow. Which would suck, because I work 14 hours tomorrow. And 12 on Saturday. And 12 on Sunday. But I think I have Monday off, so...

I wanted to go to Gamestop, but there was a freakishly large storm and I ended up reserving it at gamecrazy.
