[scurvy]

i went in there today to preorder hl2 and they said it comes outnov 20th, why are they so misinformed? well the guy also said " oh half life 2 on ps2 right?" i'm like ummmmmmmmmm NO:dozey:

 

[Prince of China]

Never! Ever, trust retailers!

 

[Doobz]

you should have to pass some kind of current game information test to work at these places

they truly are very misinformed, having no clue what's going on in the gaming world, a world their business makes a profit off of, and it's very frustrating

 

[Prince of China]

I think the guys at these retailer(EB, Gamestop etc...) Know the exact dates, but aren't allowed to say anything.

 

[scurvy]

why would that be?

 

[nw909]

Yeah the really wouldnt make sense Tredoslop...

Its all over the internet.

 

[bizzy420]

yeah i pre-ordered my copy at EB a few weeks ago and they said sept 30. then today i asked again and they said nov.20, but he also said its never for sure. he said its still possible to make the sept 30 release date.

 

[LoneDeranger]

It's Sept 30 unless Valve or Vivendi say otherwise.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

believe valve and NO ONE ELSE
its still sept 30 as far as they are concerned. keep the faith

has anyone talked to erik j. or gabe n. lately since gabe's had the baby, hes on the inside and if anyone finds out FROM HIM, stick by his word. and we can end the posts of ship dates forever (stop telling me otherwise, your scaring me, your jinxin it...)... ...

 

[kelisis]

Yeah, retailers like gossip. Gossip leads to rumors etc. You know were I'm getting.

 

[Guest]

I swear to god, if I hear one more thing about what some fat retard at gamestop said.

 

[Mountain Man]

The Gamestop website shows September 30. Same with Amazon.com.

Gabe didn't have the baby, Erik did.

Or rather, his wife did.

Vivendi does have a say in the matter of the release date as well. Something may happen where they can't print out the boxes or something. Unlikely but if Vivendi says something, I'd be inclinded to believe it.

Despite the "Holiday 2003" thingy.

Yeah also that is a fall back if HL2 isn't released on Sept 30. Which I doubt that it won't be released.

Yeah, guess so, but the guys at EB couldn't really be misguided, they have computer-they can even be posting...here!!!

 

[scurvy]

he looked it up in his big ass book and that was the date.

 

[kelisis]

Hahaha, Yeah. I think the 30th release date is starting to get offical.

 

[firerain]

i think its the 30th.

 

[Prince of China]

A lot of ppl do...

 

[Gordon'sFreeman]

hehe the place where ive pre orderd HL2 says it was 30/7/2003 now it says 12/12/2003

id be pissed if that were true and HL2 came out sep 30th

 

[Axyon]

The date still remains at 30th September until we're notified otherwise.
