One...more....hour....of.....work.

Then, 125 km/h down Deerfoot to the EB on 130th, and I am gold!!!

If they are out of stock, I am burning the place down.

Off to a good 6-0 start online :0

haha i like your team mate skating into the boards on the right side while you are trying to play

Picked up a copy at the EB in the North Hill mall.

metallicat · 09-10-2008, 03:52 PM

If anyone is in Edmonton, Northgate Futureshop has about 200 copies. I don't think there are any other FS's in the city that have them, but I could be wrong. Rogers Video refused to sell me a copy with them sitting right on their tables.

just leaving work now...quick jaunt down highway 2 back into the city...hopefully shouldnt have a problem locating it in northland mall

Russic · 09-10-2008, 04:02 PM

No worries czure, if north hill mall still has copies and only has 1 eb, northland will have a bunch considering there's an eb, future shop and best buy.

My god I forgot about the saveable replays. You guys might need to check on me in a few days to make sure I haven't slipped into some crazy Japanese gaming cafe-esque bender.

Just picked up a copy at the Northlands Future Shop. I'll be... busy for the next little while.

Kipper is King · 09-10-2008, 05:45 PM

Wow! This game is a blast! I just played a team online game (not EASHL) and it was so much fun! We came back from a 2 goal 3rd period deficit!

In BAP, the QC flames and I got whupped 6-2, but I scored!

Gravitykillr · 09-10-2008, 05:56 PM

Eb in Westbrook had about 50 copies left after I bought mine, be playing in about 5 minutes.

I_H8_Crawford · 09-10-2008, 06:10 PM

Picked up a copy at EB in Beacon Hill... they had a TON for both systems.

The someday list???

Aren't you a lawyer? What gives?

BTW, I officially feel nothing but loathing for all of you who've already got the game.* I live in a small town and when I went to the stinkin' Walmart to inquire about it today I got this:

Me after waiting in line behind five buffoons: "NHL 09?"

Slack jawed troglodyte behind the counter: "Nope"

Me: "When?"

SJT: "I dunno, maybe a week?"

Me: "The guy here yesterday with the ridiculous afro said tommorrow"

SJT: "Nope"

Me: "You're a big help, thanks."

PS I don't actually loathe any of you...Just jealous.

Metro Gnome · 09-10-2008, 06:42 PM

Anyone know of any places in the South end of Calgary stocking it (PS3) yet?

EDIT - NM...EB in South Center apparently. Off I go!

redmile04 · 09-10-2008, 06:49 PM

Not sure if it is mentioned. future shop country hills has lots

ResAlien · 09-11-2008, 12:07 AM

Picked 'er up after work today. Freaking awesome game. I haven't really delved into the regular gameplay yet, the Be a Pro mode has consumed all of my time. Love it.

Saint Troy · 09-11-2008, 07:44 AM

The be a pro mode is unreal. I'm not usually into the gimmicks, I'm more of a roster nut, but I tried it and ended up playing 10 games as my offensive dman down in Quad City. Think I'll attempt my red light Racicot today.

rockstar · 09-11-2008, 07:37 PM

To remind you how lucky you all are....

I moved away from my family this year (and my little brother's 360). My brother picked up 09 today, brought it home, played for a few minutes, and got the red ring of death. I believe he is crying at the moment.

PLAY EVERY GAME LIKE IT'S YOUR LAST, KIDS!

You never know when you'll get the red ring of death!

Well it's not the RROD but I've been getting the "disc is unreadable" error increasingly more often. I can't go on this way so I'm phoning for warranty repairs tomorrow. I remember now why the Xbox was gathering dust.
