I agree...playing with friends who actually know how to play the game..it gets intense..playing the cpu always leaves something to be desired IMO.

Me too actually... If CPU trading can't be turned off... I usually don't turn the game on

WESTBROOK WALMART!!!!!
Just got my copy for PS2.. Girl said she was the only walmart in town selling it, and appears to be the only one i could find that isn't selling it tomorrow (ebgames, best buy).
Went and checked it out... sure enough... $34.00 or something.
Guy infront of me got a copy for the Xbox (don't know which one).
There you have it.
P.S. They're real skimpy about the instruction manual again..
R1 is shoot? WTF?

How is it possible to have your ipod all the way up, and you can still hear the pig chomping on her gum beside you in the library...

I should tell them that I'll cancel my order and go to WalMart if they don't fork it over. Or use teh credit to grab another game, can't think of any other games I like though.
Hahahahah! 32 years old and I'm behaving like a spoiled kid, I WANT IT NOW!!!!

Can anyone confirm if the Xbox 360 version is available at the Westbrook Wallmart or not?
If it is, I'm heading there right after work!

F'ing EBGames phone lines are busy. Must be a zoo in there today, especially if they have the product and can't sell it.
Must be like the record industry, stores can get fined if they sell before the relase date. I guess WalMart & Future Shop are too big to give a crap.
I'm going to WalMart, screw it.

EBGames told me that they're knocking $10 off the price if you wait until tomorrow.
$10? Eh.
I'm going to the Westbrook WalMart, the person in electronics told me they have well over 30 copies left.

Damn, it's times like this where I wish I was still living in Winnipeg. I probably wont get the game until late next week. It'll take probably 2-3 days for Futureshop to ship it out and then another 3 days to get here.

I went to the EBGames in Westbrook at about 4:00 hoping it was available. There was a long line and I couldn't see the game so I wandered over the the WalMart, and they had a lot of copies of it, I'd say about 50 or so for the 360 alone.

Oh yeah, great game so far, hard to learn the controls at first though.
Has anyone figured out how faceoffs work? (360 Version)
