I'm gonna go ahead and try here in Richmond, VA...Good on ya to those that have managed to use weakness in the system to their advantage...I'd rather just have it if the slip has already occured.I spent 10 years in retail, so I don't need to be reminded about how street dates work... I just want it and don't care how I get it either.

Just checked my local DFW area Best Buy in McKinney, TX to no avail. N Richland Hills is a hike, but if they would hold a copy I'm certainly not opposed to it.Ryan

Lucky are those who have already found it. I have three friends looking for it in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Jersey City; all are reporting no luck so far x(. I think they are lying to me, or they are not looking hard enough, ha...

Just did the tour of the shops in London, Ontario. It will be everywhere tomorrow. Combined, between three stores and editions, there is going to be over 150 copies. Future Shop, EB games and Best Buy.

Somebody should stand back and look at how childish they are. All this frenzy... over a game!I just checked the availability of FSX at Best Buys in Oregon: Beaverton, Gresham, Salem, Bend, Springfield, Clackamas, Airport Way, and Mill Plains (WA). Five admitted to having/holding copies of both versions until 10/17. Tried every angle, schmoozing, cajoling, logic, evidence, threats. Quoted posts from this thread about Best Buy stores selling FSX "as we speak". No go. Think they had fielded such queries before. Almost sounded like they thought I was a Microsoft spy. Similar results at CompUSA, Circuit City, Fry's, and Walmart. Long morning, disappointing. That's the scoop here as of Noon, Oct. 4.Update: 12:31 pm. Been sitting here, feeling somewhere between p###ed and desperate. Just spoke with a friend who has a friend (whom I once met) who is a 2nd level manager at a CompUSA store. My friend spoke with his friend and... it's only five hours, each way. Taking off in a few minutes. I have sworn on pain of death not to reveal the store's location, but it is NOT in Oregon or western Washington. Please note: In the event that someone does succeed in getting an Oregon Best Buy store to cough up a copy of FSX during the next few days, or any other store in Oregon for that matter, and if that person posts about their success here on the AVSim Forum, I will consider that to be a terrorist act, and will respond accordingly. Like I said, get a grip you guys. RobWhere there's a will, there's a willy...
