I just talked to a weenie over at EB and he claims that the computers in the store state that they will get the game on 3/2, and that his computer is some all-knowing piece of machinery or something

when do games usually arrive in american shops before release?

in general, the UKs release day is a friday - and ive always been told games are in the stores by the tuesday before release

rarely the may have a late thursday shipment but its unlikely.

so surely, a actual store must have their copies in their stockroom? unless they get deliveries at the weekend?? or on the monday, which would be chaos??

i just refreshed it on 3 different browers. it hasnt changed.

Not sure what your looking at, but it says 2/22 when I look, and on the main PC page, it lists game releases and it says MVP 2005 2/22

You guys REALLY fall for this trick of the new release date?

WISHFUL THINKING!

March 1st is STILL the release date :evil:

They are just trying to raise our hopes then disappoint. I have checked EA's site and they still say 3/1. All fiction because people have called in to EA, and they still say March 1st.

I wish you were all right. I need EA's proof then I'll believe. :)

Hello Blake,

Thank you for contacting EBgames.com.

The ship date we have received from the publisher is on 2/22/2005. If

the game is delayed or pushed back until March 1st, the website will be

updated accordingly when we receive more information.

EBgames.com works tirelessly with game publishers to ensure accurate

release dates on our site. Occasionally, publishers decide to delay

production to improve quality or add new features. Sometimes dates move

forward; more often they move back and frequently they get changed more

than once.

If a game is scheduled for release far in the future, the publisher may

not even give us a date. In those cases we rely on the collective

wisdom

of our buying staff to estimate a date based on their knowledge of the

industry and the publisher's history.

We guarantee that we will always post the best information provided by

publishers. We know that you want that hot new game yesterday and we

want to be the company that gets it to you quicker than anyone else.

If you require further assistance, we are available 7 days a week from

8

AM to Midnight EST.

Best Regards,

Derek

Above is the reply I received from EBgames.com. It's the typical, generic reply I expected.

FWIW, I still don't think the game will be released until March 1st.

This just means that much less testing time and more bugs.

Damn it, and here I was, thinking EA learned something from last year...

Why does EA keep rushing their games?

MVP 2005 already will be the best-selling Baseball game anyways, why release it even earlier and cut testing time?

No, testing was complete way before this.
