I'm confused, Lee.  You want yours NOW (in advance of the official release
date), but you're "ratting out" retailers who are selling it now because
they're not close enough to you, and therefore it's incovenient for you?
What the hell kind of logic is that?

I was just about to post the same message.  How the hell can you grass
shops to Hasbro and then ask for a list of shops selling it early so you
also can get a copy before Friday!!!!!!

Some people.

I wonder if it was the EB manager strolling over, looking far from happy
that stopped them.

EA......
I can't think of anyone esle except Papy's occasionaly push at Nascar.

It is kinda wrong to do this though. When you release a highly awaited sim a
day or two early it makes everyone rush to your store adn buy the game
leaving the law abiding stores with a confusing look as they open the doors
the next morning to find nobody there.

What a classic case of sour grapes.

Just cos some were lucky enough to get it a day or two earlier than you, you
have a petty tantrum, jump up and down and tell "mummy"

I really can't believe you would have reported anyone if you had managed to
get your hands on it early?

It hardly a big deal anyway....... now go pick up those toys that are
scatrtered around your pram

So eat a bran muffin. Or prune juice might work.

Come on say it... Say it. SAY IT! *SAY IT*!!!!

Oh OK  I will. My man MR. Armstrong appears to be a total hypocrite
with that statement he made.

Cheero old boy.

Following the rules??? Right. I am about done reading a 1995 biography
of Ian Flemming. Everyone is screwing everyone elses wife or husband
or girlfriend. Exactly what rules was it that the British are noted for?
And before you start getting pissy, my better halves family is British.
Like as in living in london when the bombs were falling. So I have
some data on what the British are noted for. One relative is kind of a
noted artist in Chelsea. You should have seen the expression on her
face when I asked what a "tosser" was :-)

Well "buck up" old man. You will get to play your freaking game
on friday. How about if you people take your nose out of everyone
else's ***and stick your nose up your own ass?  And stop worring a
bout what everyone else is doing!

Wow.

selling it now. Hmmm.

Nah.  It's just a ruse to turn in the max amount of stores selling it
early as he can.  You getting a commission on this Armstrong?
