Sithcloak Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I live in martiniez which is near concord. And if you don't know where concord is its near oakland. And if you don't know where oakland is its across the bay bridge from san francisco. And if you don't know where san francisco is then you don't live in CA. It is supposed to arrive in the afternoon around one. I hope it isn't delayed. Sithcloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinch2020 Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I was born and raised in Concord. My dad and I used to launch out of the Martinez marina all of the time to go sturgeon fishing. As for the manual it's funny I am the exact same way! I will read the intro and flip through the pages and then usually wait until that night right before I go to bed to actually read the whole thing.

SwedishJedi Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 My local EBX store here in San Francisco (in Embarcadero Center) says they're expecting theirs in by noon PST. I'll report in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torquemada Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I called the EB at Embarcadero 4 and they have it. I also called the Downtown CompUSA and the Emeryville CUSA and they both have it. I will have it by lunch time. BTW, Anyone know of any bay area servers for this game yet? - Does anyone really think the only thing Luke wanted at the Toshie station was power converters?

Torquemada Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Those #$%&@ just told me they had it at Embarcadero. I'm gonna be upset if I get over there and they don't, it's a lot closer than the CUSA on Market. Tell you what, I'm taking my lunch between 12:30 and 1:30, I will let you know what I see. - Does anyone really think the only thing Luke wanted at the Toshie station was power converters?

SwedishJedi Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I spoke to their clerk via phone at 10:10 a.m. and to a clerk last night just before closing, and they did NOT have it in, but they seemed fairly certain that they would have it in with their morning UPS shipment. He said the UPS guy usually comes in just before noon, but they are so busy during the lunch hour they don't have a chance to check and open the boxes until the lunch hour rush subsides. Also, he seemed pretty confident that they're going to have more than enough to cover pre-orders. I actually tried to order it online but the EB online form kept screwing up, so I chucked it. Since they were offering free two-day shipping, I get it earlier this way, but I have to pay sales tax. Since I'm only two blocks away, I'll check on it right at 1:00 and post by, say, 1:15 for ya, if that'll save you a trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Hi, I live in San Francisco... but I'm on vacation in the Netherlands, so I don't know if the SF stores have it... I'm going to check the Dutch stores tomorrow (Friday) though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conco Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Just got the game from EBgames.com! fedex arrived this morning. Anyone who chose next day shipping from ebgames.com will definitly get it today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbatkllr Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Funny you should say that Conco, because I ordered it from EBgames.com with next day air shipping and I live in Ca and yet I don't have the game. Why? Read my post "I am ENRAGED." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dandy Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Thanks Cray I am gonna go get one right now... Maybe check by Best Buy see which is cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinch2020 Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Well I came home early from work today hoping to see my answering machine blinking saying that software etc. has it but no joy. I think someone said earlier about a 12:00 shipment though so hopefuly I will have it by tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowen Posted March 28, 2002 Author Share Posted March 28, 2002 I have it!!! I called EB today and was surprised that they had it this morning because their truck does not come in until around noon so they must have received it yesterday. I'm very impressed with the manual as it has all color pages. Most don't now days and it comes in the smaller packaging but has the old style jewel cases not the new DVD type cases. Well I'm off to install it...I'll report on how I like it but I'm pretty sure it will be a very favorable review!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishJedi Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 It's 1:15 p.m. PST on 3/28 and I'm reporting in as promised. The EBX store on the ground floor of 4 Embarcadero Center in San Francisco has 32 copies of the game on display, and another dozen in the tin collector's addition. I got mine. Go for it! I'll see ya online. SwedishJedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Just and FYI... Software ETC and Electronics Boutique in Sacramento all have a bunch of copies (tin and regular). Get em there if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torquemada Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 I just got back from there myself (got stuck at work and took a late lunch) I grabbed one of the Collector's Tin's and it's pretty cool. The little lightsaber was quite the hit when I got back to work. Now wouldn't you know it, my wife set up our tax appointment for tonight after work. Oh well, I will play into the wee hours! P.S. If your in the Bay Area EBX at Embarcadero 4 still has plenty of both regular and collector boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinch2020 Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Well geez how do you like that. I decided that I would just try calling here in Fresno to see if maybe they forgot to call me... they have it. Going to pick it up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishJedi Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Glad you got your copy, and sorry that your wife's concerns are so ill-timed. I loaded my copy up on my crappy work machine with an old GeForce256 (i.e., GeForce1) and it ran well enough to make it worthwhile to rumble through about ten minutes of the first mission. I brought it home, and the damn thing locks up about ten percent of the way into the load. Don't know if the disk got messed up, or what? Bleahhhhh!

ryudom Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 yesterday(thudsday) i went to eb and looked at the shelves -no JKii. I was not happy. Then I asked the guy if it was in and he said he just got them and opened out a big box full of them. I was very happy. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naphtali Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Damnet i went to COMP usa in emryville and they said they didn't have it, but to check back tommarrow on friday. I went and asked customer service and they said they didn't have their in stock date.
