Today or just go to the store?

Any idea if this will be out today via D/L or should
I just run down to Best Buy at lunch? I dread going
into Best Buy under the best of circumstances but if
you all aren't gonna get this online today I'll suck
it up and go

Whoever your preferred provider is, I'd tell em to
get with the program

I'll let you know as soon as I do. I'm checking in with our partner again this morning. The hold-up is that one retail chain does not appear to have it on the shelves yet and that particular chain is very sensitive about having an online release go first.

Hello, will your price point be the same as retailers? $29.99? Looking forward to this one, I hope you make it available real soon!

So what - they are going to put it on their shelf and then 30 seconds later you make it available via download ? How ridiculous - what possible difference can it make ? That with the thing obvioulsy having been available in other stores for a while now ...

Yeah, it's unfortunate, but it sounds like they have no control over this. Silly retailer.

I assume that if Matrix Games makes it available before this ultra-sensitive retailer does, they would be in jeopardy of getting sued for breech of contract, along with perhaps losing future license to carry products from certain development houses.

Silly, yes....but that's the way the business world is.

Ok, we've been given the green light to release this tomorrow afternoon/evening, just wanted to let you all know. I apologize for the delays on this, we've been at the mercy of another company in this respect and it hasn't been ideal.
