Now, I didn't ***** about getting CoP after a lot of other people. I personally don't mind that Japanese/Euro got it first. Yay for them. However, I'm now being told by all the game dealers in the area that we here in Richmond, VA, don't know when we'll get CoP due to it being stored in Fl... which got hit by Ivan.. So, I'm wondering if any of you have any idea of somewhere I could overnight the game from. Local game stores, etc? I tried Best Buy and Amazon, but neither can ship before Friday (which is supposedly when GameStop will get my copy of CoP). It's no big deal, I can wait, but I'm really curious^^
Thankee!

East Coast CoP Screwed? Any Suggestions?Follow
I preordered mine online and I haven't heard anything yet about there being any shipment problems. That would really stink if we won't be getting it for a while longer than everyone else..

As a fellow Bismark player in Richmond, VA, I can only think of one option....drive to DC and get it there. When my brother lived in DC and I lived in Richmond, he routinely got games a day or two ahead of me. Don't listen to the BS from Gamestop or EB, those people don't have a freaking clue. The truth is Richmond just straight up sucks, but I'm sure you already know that. I have never, ever gotten a pre ordered game on time from EB or Gamestop since I've lived in Richmond. I guess there just isn't enough of a market for this sort of thing in this area, at least not enough to warrant a seperate fed ex shipment. So if you have nothing else to do, drive to DC, you might luck out. Between this and the PS2 install bug, this expansion is kind of bumming me out. Good luck.
I'm in Fayetteville, NC. I got the same thing from Gamestop here. We're sorry but CoP isn't here yet. It may come in with the UPS shipment today or tomorrow. I'm really bugged about that. They told me when I reserverd it that I would have it at 10am Sept. 21. I'm gonna check with them after work and hope its in by then. I'm reserving through bestbuy next time. I'm done dealing with gamestop.
I live in new port richey FL and the guys at EB told me they wont have any till friday either!?!?!? after readng the whole stored in FL thing im a little confused.
I live up in Jersey and I'll be hitting up EB as soon as I get out of work to see if my copy of CoP came in.
I'll update later in the evening and let you know if its the entire East Coast that's screwed or you're just having bad luck in Richmond.

Check the front page of FFXI main page...
I checked it yesterday and it said "Chains of Promathia *ships* tomorrow"
The same thing happened when the game was first released in NA, so it's not surprising.
History repeats itself ;) I'll be checking EB on Wednesday, as I'm pretty sure it's not coming in today.

West Coast. EB says they can't confirm when they will receive them in stores. Same with GameStop.
Yeah, my local EB is equally worthless, and I'm technically midwest.
I think the whole Florida thing is a rumor. If there was a stockpile in Florida, that wouldn't be Square's fault - Square has its US headquarters in Los Angeles.

Being that I'm stuck at college until Friday, I couldn't play CoP (much less pick it up or install it) until Friday anyways. Let me tell you what though, this waiting until Friday is gonna be murder. So many areas I want to get out and explore. Just wish I had some idea as to what the levels are to the new ares. Would hate to go strolling into Oldton and get pwned by the first Moblin I came across.
Anyways, see you all on Friday.

In theory, yes. And, that would be funny as hell if it did happen. I think I'd laugh my *** off for a good five minutes if I walked in and a Moblin came up and just straight up pwned me. Perhaps I could make a ritual of it. Wander to all new zones and get pwned in all of them.
We all have to have goals in life. If I'm bored enough this weekend, this might end up being mine. ^^

I live in Canada and we can't get it until Friday. No real biggy. =\
I also live in Canada... i was told Thursday, im pre-ordered at EB, if they dont have it by Friday im getting my money back and going to Best Buy.
This sucks

Yeah.. all kinds of responses around here near Seattle, WA.
Gamestop says they get the PS2 version tomorrow, but the PC version comes in on Friday.
Best Buy says "The street release date is Thursday" so I think they're just holding out.
EB Games says that if you preorder it, you can get it tomorrow, if not you can get it thursday.
So at the moment I'm debating whether or not to drive 45 minutes there, and 45 minutes back today, so I can get it tomorrow.

Check out Best Buy's website, it's $5 bucks cheaper! That'd cover your gas (unless you drive a gas guzzler or something like that)
