    I just got off the phone.

    EB: Hello, Electronics Botique. Would you like to trade in a game today?
    Bibby: Uh, no. I was wondering when Jedi Outcast would be on sale?
    EB: What system is that for?
    Bibby: PC
    EB: And what was the title?
    Bibby: Jedi Outcast...
    EB: And the system?
    Bibby: Its a PC game.
    EB: Hmm... Would Star Wars be the beginning of the title?
    Bibby: Yes it would.
    EB: Hmm... Star Wars: Jedi Knight...
    Bibby: It should be Jedi Knight II.
    EB: Oh. Let's see... comes out the 28th.
    Bibby: Than-
    EB: What day is that?
    Bibby: I'm not su-
    Other EB Dude: The 28th is a friday I think.
    EB: I think its thursday... Yeah, it comes out thursday the 28th.
    Bibby: Thank you.
    EB: Have a nice day and thank you for calling Electronics Botique.
    Bibby: Yeah, you too.

    lol! this is hysterical.

    The only thing they've ever done for me was they stopped my friend from buying the Mac version of the original Myst for $5. He then asked if they sold the Mac OS. He REALLY wanted that $5 game.

    Anyway... yeah, the majority of EB employees are complete idiots with very little brain functionality. I've seen it first hand several times.

    Mumbled something in heavy Boston accent. She called me "honey" a few times, not a fan. Comes out 3/28.

    EB Boston, Mass:
    Busy the first few times I called. Finally got through, talked to this pothead sounding dude who kept asking "Kev" questions. Comes out 4/3! :mad:

    EB Braintree, Mass:
    "Helloethankyouforcallingelectronicsboutiquewhereyoucantradeinanyplayablegameandwhereyoucangetvirtuafighterfourforfree. How may I help you?" Comes out 3/28.

    EB Taunton (I know, yaggle-gaggle), Mass:
    No one answered the friggin phone!

    Software Etc. Hanover, Mass:
    They put me on hold for about 3 minutes. :mad: But it comes out 3/27. :)

    Call up Australian stores. Word has it that they get the game a day or two before us. Bastards.

    Hey, maybe that means NZ too. Maybe jp could find out.

    "Early April" is the best I've seen in NZ so far. And the department store I have my voucher for is normally about a week behind the specialist stores.

    :(

    Still, more time to try and upgrade my PC...

    Canadia gets it when we do. And I swear, these crazy Aussies keep telling me that their EB release date is March 26th.

    Edit: my bad. Here's from jediknightii.net:

    Early Australian Release? Jeff Thursday, Mar 21 - 11:04 PM - 11 Comments
    A friend of mine tipped me off yesterday to this thread on our forums regarding a possible early release of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast in Australia.

    After a quick trip to the local Electronic Boutique here in Cairns I can confirm that while it wasn't there today, they did reveal it is due to arrive on March 26....which, given the time difference, is almost three whole days before the scheduled U.S. release! Also, it should be noted that Cairns is at the very top of Australia, so it's quite possible JK2 will be out in more southern stores earlier than the 26th. Whether this early release is only at Electronic Boutique stores is one question I can't answer.

    So basically, if you live in Australia, get your booty to your local game store ASAP - you might be pleasantly surprised!
