ToB in the BestBuy ad as being for sale!

[Throntar]

Anybody know why the Sunday morning BestBuy ad/flyer that comes in the newspaper shows ToB for sale today @ $24.95? There aren't any gold notices on the web anywhere, but their ad shows for sale as well as their web site says available for pick-up in most store locations.

Anyone know anything about this???

im thinkin that Best Buy had better get the riot gear ready, cuz they wont have BG2, and theres gonna be a mob of angry customers looking for it!

Quoted from Derek French (Assistant Producer) Rumors of ToB not being almost done: Completely untrue. It is still in QA right now. All the guys are working hard getting rid of these last bugs. So far, we have said it will be done "soon" for about a week now, but that is about as accurate as we can be now. Status update: ToB is still in QA. We are working on the last bugs in the game and the game should be done soon. There was a fairly significant bug found Friday. It is fixed and the game is back in QA. We don't have a release date for the game and any dates that you read from retailers are pure speculation on there part. Once the game is gold, we will be posting it here.

We saw that too, and ran right out to get it. Not there, and they don't know when. I do know that they have never, in my experience, released a game before it has gone gold. Until then, we are anxiously awaiting the release, but we are not holding our breath.
