Gears of War shipments stuck in Memphis

Maybe they were afraid to touch the packaging?

Someone's throwing monkey wrenches in Memphis, and it's hit Gears of War pretty badly. Shipments of the Epic Games' highly-rated shooter are having problems getting out of Memphis.

According to reports, GameStop and EB Games representatives are informing customers who checked on the status of Gears of War's arrival in their hometowns that there would be a delay. What the delay is, no one's been able to find out as of this writing.

Deepsixx put it best on GoW's official boards, however, saying the following:

First EBgames/Gamestop said midnight Tuesday launch party, then it was 10:30 am Wednesday shipment, then 5pm Wednesday shipment (automated corporate voicemail sent to pre-order customers).

And now...they send out a corporate automated message to numerous pre-orders on the East Coast stating "sometime Thursday".

Called EB Games...statement was "Fedex didn't ship 70% of GOW from Memphis".

If you've already got yourself a copy, congratulations to you. In the meantime, we'll be on the lookout for an actual explanation on what's holding up the GoW supply in Memphis. Till then, sit tight, our Gears-deprived brethren.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

Who cares? I want this game but I probably won't be buying it until the spring. Sorry, but I'm just not lame enough to go running to the store the second something comes out.

# get educated!! — Guest 2006-11-08 15:02

Damn, man quit your *****ing, stop playing, games and go back to school, your spelling is horrible

# sAME HERE — Guest 2006-11-08 15:02

Yea same over here in Oregon/ Idaho live in idaho on the border, but anyways they said five dollars off and its coming in Tursday, my friend and I plan on running over there at lunc and then raping when we get home from school. Seriously the gamestop manager which I know personally sounded like he was going to throw the phone against the wall due to the amount of complaints he has gotten guess every has got to just stay frosty.

# Cool — Guest 2006-11-08 15:20

Wow...this is the first time I've actually been glad that I live in Memphis =)

# Elvis — Guest 2006-11-08 15:36

But the King lives there! How could you not love Memphis?!

Too bad he went back to his home planet.

*insert Twilight Zone Song here*

# BS!!!! — Guest 2006-11-08 15:54

Well I didnt pre-order and its sucks. I stay in dallas and the Gamestop that I go to in Plano, TX served them on a platter yesterday, pre-order and walkins and my cheap a** is waiting on Gamefly to send it.....but the just changed their available date to 11/10/06...UPS is spend all their money on promotion that they ship all over the world quickly and Cliffy B chooses *****Ex.

# why don't you get educated first? — Guest 2006-11-08 15:57

Your grammar is horrible, my friend. Perhaps before ripping on someone for their spelling you should learn how to place commas correctly and form a sentence.

# cancel — Guest 2006-11-08 16:01

yea i cancelled my pre-order and went right next door to best buy to get mine....... gamestop down my way lost alot of pre orders b/c ppl down my way did the exact same thing

# Got Mine — Guest 2006-11-08 16:29

I managed to get mine via Pre-order. Picked it up at my local EBX. My only problem now, however, is that I am completely stuck on General RAAM.

To everyone who got it: It's fun, ne?

To people who didn't: It's worth the wait.

# ..... — Guest 2006-11-08 16:31

omg the world is over cause I couldnt get my hands on Gears of War. I'm going to kill myself :'(

geese I can't believe how pathetic people can be for a game.

# yea, its been like that here in CA too... — Guest 2006-11-08 19:06

yea ive been waitin too.... but i get 5$ off, plus i originally got it for 55$ since i used trade in credit, so i can wait another day and save ten bucks, for a game i know is goin to kick ass all the time, not just only when it first comes out.....

# I got it.... — Guest 2006-11-08 21:14

I am in Michigan and on Tuesday I drove around town very irritated. I knew that tuesday was the street date for the game, and that stores should have had GOW in the back room a few days in advance. But no one had them. Fortunately, the shipments came in today (wed) and I got my copy. Right when I was looking at the title screen, I got "that call" saying that my local EB may not have the game in yet. lol

# Still don't have it. — Guest 2006-11-09 05:22

I just called my EB in Clemson and all the pre-orders for the regular edition are in, but all the collectors editions are MIA. They are giving me 5 bucks off for the delay.

lol the years killer app for xbox360 isn't even an exclusive. It "WILL" be released for the PC early next year.

haha

PS3 FTW!!

# holy, crap, idiot what a — Guest 2006-11-09 08:51

stop playing (comma) games

What the hell is that?

Commas are important and need to be used correctly.

Woman, without, man is nothing

# Woot! — Guest 2006-11-09 08:54

I called my EB and they said the same thing.

So, I went to Wal-mart, then Toys-R-Us and then Best Buy where I finally picked up a copy. I then went back to EB and got the total cost of the game put back on my edge card. The best part is, HOLY SH*T THIS GAME KICKS ASS! Yep, multi-player is awesome. You just need a couple of games to get the hang of it and then it is crazy-go-nuts fun! And the graphics, man I pissed myself. So now I need to go out and get a bigger HDTV.

# Whatever — Guest 2006-11-09 09:01

And your sources for that would be what?

And Alan Wake is still considered console exclusive even though it comes out on PC under the "Games for Windows" campaign in the same timeframe. Halo can be played on a Mac but it is still an exclusive game for the Xbox because you can't play it on Gamecube or PS2. Anyway, whatever, you play your Resistance: Fall of Man game with no multi-player while I play through Gears of War campaign online with a friend or play hours upon hours of multi-player four on four lovin'. You have no idea what you are missing!

# ROFL — Guest 2006-11-09 10:52

Your not lame enough??? Your sound rather gay to me. Have fun waiting while the whole country is getting mad chainsaw action.

# the best — Guest 2006-11-09 13:10

MAD CHAINSAW ACTION????? BWAAAAHHH HA HA HA HA. Dude... who does this guy get laid by on the weekends? Greasy mexican girls? screw the both of you.
