(Sears selling) Brawl (Released Early) >.<?

[Doc Chronic]

I know have absolute proof that the game is in Wal-Mart storage. The reasons why are because of the pictures, AND my cousin who works at Wal-Mart STOLE a copy without getting caught. Awesome.

wow, thats pretty awesome. he must have been pretty smooth, I'm pretty sure they will be able to detect one missing though, i would tell him to be careful. your lucky though

 

[ManCarrot]

I will find out tomorrow... This is nuts. I know its only a week away and all but fckton having it early would make me cream.

 

[Whiteface]

I'm telling you this is a lie from the 7th circle of hell.... There's no way they'd release the game early......

 

[ManCarrot]

"Later on, another dude told me that what happened was, they put them on sale online. The reason they did that is because it usually takes 8-10 business days to ship (Brawl comes out in 10 days...).

^In response to that, some stores in various parts of the country got involved in a miscommunication, thinking that since the website put them on sale, that they could go ahead and put their copies, which weren't supposed to sell until March 9th, on sale. Thus, some stores sold them prematurely, while some were smarter and realized the mistake.

Apparently, the site has been updated since then to clear up the confusion. But, it is true...some people are playing the English Brawl as we speak.

I would say, as of now, it's a lost cause calling, because every Sears I called knew what I was calling about..."are you calling about that Smash Brawl game?" Word has gotten around, so your chances of getting one now are unlikely."


Quoted from another one of the 100000 sites about this issue(wiichat.com). Also it is real someone that I saw/know on the boards said that their cousin called them out of no where be fore this whole ordeal an had recieved an inhand copy of the game from Sears. Others have proof that it was sold reciepts and all.

Sad Day = Me without one.

Good news is Walmart said that they would have it in on the 2nd and selling it on the 7th.

 

[DraginHikari]

To me this sounds like a mistake on part of a few stores, it happens once and awhile that someone puts out a box that labeled for a specific day out early on accident. Places like Wal-mart put resigster locks on the computer system to prevent these kind of things from being sold before a release date. Sears may or may not do this.

Good news is Walmart said that they would have it in on the 2nd and selling it on the 7th.

Say what? I work at a Wal-Mart in the electronic department and the Game vendors have made no mention to us to break any street dates regarding Brawl or anything else for that matter. Our store here hasn't even seen Brawl as of yet and it's more then likely we won't get it till later next week.

 

[Tatsujinken]

****.

It was a good day to go to Sears.

 

[rove]

Wow out of all places sears?
And the disk looks wicked!

 

[Cubemario]

Sears are a bunch of scammers. I won't buy from them anymore. I ordered a wii online from there, they said they were in stock. Then it turned out they lied and were not in stock. They had my money, and I had no wii. It was a big hassle to get my money back from them.

 

[Kirbykares]

I honestly don't believe our orders will go through... But I'm hoping for the best

 

[ApatheticApe]

Me: Hi, i'm wondering if you have any copy's of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Him: Hold on, I think I just saw it.

Phone: *Jazz music*

Him:....uh, no we don't.



I have a feeling he isn't telling the truth. D:<

 

[Minty]

lol you should check out on page 12 i believe of what Kmart and Walmart talked to me about xD

 

[Phocks]

Well, I'm gonna go check out the situation myself in about an hour or so when most stores open. Checking out two Sears stores, and since I'll be there with a buddy around opening, if they have any, we'll be the first to get one.

I'll let you guys know what happens.

Oh, and I'm going to ask the manager there to make Captain Falcon poses with me and take pictures.

 

[entrapment]

Well.... I know I called and stuff but other than that its just about of us who called but actully have not gotten copies and the only dude that did supposely only took of ugly shot for e-bay. I know we all really wanted to beilve this but....aleast when members got the japanese verison they took alot of photo's other just one that looks to much like a review photo. So really unless someone new takes a photo with a receipt thats readible I'm declaring... cake rule on Sears.

It wouldnt be the first time Walmart broke street date. Im a mangaer at Gamestop and there is a walmart right next to me. They broke street date on the Wii and the DS, o and not to mention Halo 3.

You're an idiot. End of discussion.
Street dates have been broken before. We have photo proof.
Nintendo doesn't control this. Stupid retailers sometimes DO break street dates because of their stupid employees. Nintendo tells them when to release, but it's not like Reggie is at every Target/Wal-Mart to make sure they don't make any mistakes.

 

[Doc Chronic]

alright, a mod should finally just close this topic, as its just depressing at this point

 

[Big Burn]

alright, a mod should finally just close this topic, as its just depressing at this point

it is indeed....i tried calling every sears yesterday and alas.... brawl is not in my hands... o well only 10 days

 

[Moustachio]

Only 10 days....ONLY 10 DAYS?!? What do you mean by "only"?! 10 days is like...forever...

 

[Ichida]

It's the final homestretch that's the hardest. Knowing we've wited all these years, been lied to time and time again by Nintendo, been tantalized with info and pics and videos and even a Japan release... it's knowing that we're teetering on the brink of it all... that's the hardest...

 

[Poel]

Home stretch is the hardest because I have to go on vacation from the 8th through the 15th. I might buy it over that week... but no Wii till I get back to university.

 

[Antinegative]

I wonder if anybody from these boards was one of the lucky few. If so they need to stop playing for 2 minutes, take some pictures and FEED US WE ARE HUNGRY RAWR

 

[6footninja]

All the sears stores I called said what I expected "were sorry, this game isnt out until March 9". Well, I thinks its a bit fishy as for the people saying "I called and they said they sold their last one 10 minutes before hand". Why arent more pictures out? Why is nobody speaking up if they bought it? It MAY just be online release. Since it has to ship before you get it that would explain why nobody is speaking out about actually having it yet

 

[NessOnett]

Wow, that just completely depressed me and brought down my day a lot by how bad i feel for you right now.

On the bright side, i just called an undisclosed department store in my area and they said they might be getting a shipment either this afternoon or Tuesday at the latest and that i should try calling back in a few hours. If i do get it guys(which i doubt), I'll be sure to give you some crappy pictures of the game/receipt(i say crappy because i have no good camera...only my phone, sorry).

 

[NoNessNoProblem]

You'd think if someone had the game they would have already posted Video or pictures proving...like i said the only people who supposingly have brawl are little kids who go with their moms to the store and asked for it...

 

[Moustachio]

Hmmm well when I think about... I geuss I only have 6 more days till Brawl, but that's only because I'm only counting down schooldays lol.

 

[Strongobado]

I....I want it. These next few days are going to be tough.

 

[DraginHikari]

It wouldnt be the first time Walmart broke street date. Im a mangaer at Gamestop and there is a walmart right next to me. They broke street date on the Wii and the DS, o and not to mention Halo 3.

However, a majority of street date breaks are caused only by a handful of stores usually by error or miscommuication. Our store didn't release Halo 3 early. Nor the Wii. Nor the DS. The only game I've ever seen get released early since I've been there was Turok recently. And that was only because it was directly told by our vendors that handle our game cases in the first place.

Stupid Retailers and stupid employees? Really? Think before you speak honsety... I could get into this but I don't want to start ranting.

 

[Tin]

For those who ordered, Sears will not ship until March 8th. So I guess now is a good time to call and cancel your Sears orders. .

 

[cynar]

You guys are tards. I said this before but apparently no one noticed, the screenshots were stolen from neogaf and a fake story was sent to RMC on go nintendo since he never checks his sources. Gullible people (like those in this thread) fall for it and hilarity ensues.

The person who posted the screenshots on NeoGAF is from Singapore. There is no Sears in Singapore.

since you guys are silly I'll even link the posts:

these were about 12 hours before the story was falsely sent to gonintendo

[gnuf]

i went to the sears at the mall and ask one of them if ssbb is in stock. he said we will not sell it until the 10th. i told them that i called 15min earlier before i came and they said they would hold it for me until i got there. so he just went to the back and got it!! i was taking picture with my camera and i found out that i dont have the wire to transfer pic. sorry but no pics. i will ask my gf where is the wire when she get home later tonight. you guys can maybe try it too. back to playing brawl!!!!

 

[Grandeza]

I can't read through this whole thread, so is it more than just a few select locations?
