For 07 and 08, the Walmart in westbrook had it before eb games anyways... trying them now.

Me: "Hi, do you have NHL 09 in yet?"
Walmart: "Haven;t got our copies in yet today"
Me: "Expecting it today?"
Walmart: "We're hoping."

Or, I could have just said Walmart is expecting it today... but what's the fun in that.

Don't suppose anyone's found out about the availability of NHL 2K9 especially for those Wii-lovers among us?

lol, ahhh nhl release day ... every electronic store employee's most annoying 72 hours of the year. It's like groundhog day, only you just keep repeating the same 2 minutes over and over for 3 days.

Can't find it anywhere, but I guess all the shipping dates I see are for the 11th, though a couple of eb games said they should have it tomorrow.

On the NHL 09 forums people in ontario are reporting that they have them in stock at their EB games. If a store gets it today its just a lucky shipment. Still going to check a few places on my lunch break

i am currently on hold with best buy here in moline. they are very confused and i can hear them all talking to each other. but after several minutes they concluded they have no idea whats going on and that they have no copies. my local gamestop said he had copies but only for the people that reserved it.

edit: this is funny. i called wal-mart. the girl in electronics went to look. after putting me on hold she comes back on and says "uh... i have no idea about that" and hung up...

edit 2: just called a few more gamestops who said they wouldn't have it till tomorrow.

EB in Sunridge says they dont have them yet, they will most likely have copies in Wednesday morning about an hour before the store opens. Says be early to get a non-pre-ordered copy..
