EB has moved their ship date back one day, on their web site.

The people that have the game, where are you getting it?

I have just opened the box, and the smell of the printed cardboard makes me swoon! I love it!.. I got a special deal, as well. If I buy the strategy guide(ie.Cheat book) with the game, I get the book half-price! I could not turn it down. But I vow to use it only in emergencies...
by the way...it came with a cool map!!!hehhehehehehe

Can you believe this? the jewel case that the game comes in is broken. I have to try and get a new one, and change out the little picture inside.

Nothing is ever perfect, eh?

Slight spoiler about some of the high level abilities...read at your own risk:

Picked up my copy this morning on my way into work. (I work second shift...) They hadn't even unpacked them yet. I thought about getting the guide, but man I'd just spoil myself and walk right through the game so I decided not to.

The box has a picture of a party fighting Demigorgon right on the back. The high level rogue abilities look to be really awesome. (Such as Assassination, every attack acts as a backstab for the duration.)

10 hours left until I get to give it a try. I swear work always gets eats into my game time...

Does EB have any physical, no-online locations? And if it does, could someone please tell me some in the Chicago area? (hmm.. Did I post this question already?)
