Guest RetardedChimp Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I seen someone say Best Buy has SWGB for $35, so I checked online site and confirmed it there, then I called my local Best Buy, man it was awful. Me: Hi, do you have Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds for PC? Woman X: Star Wars on the PC thing? Me: No, Star Wars GALACTIC BATTLEGROUNDS on PC. Woman X: Let me check for Star Wars. 2 Minutes Later Woman X: Star Wars is $50. Me: Is that Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds? Because your online site says $35. Woman X: Online? Me: Your company's website... Woman X: Star Wars is $50. Me: Can I speak with someone else? Woman X: No. Me: *slam pay phone down* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Having worked for EB/Game (EB OWN Game Ltd in the UK) its best to call Thursday afternoon. If the game is out friday, it is normally in their Thursday delivery. However, they CANT sell it on Thursday! LOL So call then, thats the best time for ANY New release. I noticed in their EB Release List that BG was highlighted Black (indicates a top title and confirmed Nov 23 Release) DMUK http://www.galacticbattlegrounds.co.uk PS: EB/Game Staff have a record of being dumb...I however, was a Manager! LOL ;-p ....just incase! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kudar Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Good show, young man lol I don't think they're adjust the taunts for us just ticking us off by holding it back Originally posted by darthfergie Why is it taking so long for you guys in the UK to get it???

Zygomaticus Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 lot of these stores just do that the best thing is to just go there like 3 days after release and hope they have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I know how much WE all love BG....but i think the reason for holding the title back could be due to low demand. Computer Games, like music, are put back if the demand (pre-orders) are very small. If the staff @ the UKs largest chain of naff (crap) computer shops, doesnt know much about Battlegrounds, what chance has a potential customer got?!!!

Com Raven Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Just a tip : I love Baldur's Gate (BG), but I suspect that you are referring to Galactic Battlegrounds (GB) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WC_heavyarms Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Something even easier to do: reserve it! I did, they were sold out on the first day when I got it. Think it is any different for you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
