Yeah that's what's great about them, no one else thinks to go there for that kinda stuff.
I remember when MGS2 came out. I ended up getting it at target that morning cause BB had sold out or they hadn't gotten them in yet or something but target had them and they weren't even up for display yet, I think they had to run and get one from the back.

i got lucky, i got the last 60GB ps3. the girl next to me ended up getting a 20GB.
if it was a hot chick and she was willing to negotiate something, probably wouldve traded spots

ohh yea, thats right. i got free release date delivery too.
it was funny because amazon sent out a email apologizing for not being able to ship out the item on time because of change in release date and that they would credit me back for release date delivery
like it was amazons fault they werent able to ship out the game on time.

I waited in line for the PS3 and missed getting one by like three spots. I had my friend show up about 1pm the day before and setup two seats and he set it up too make it look like I had been there the whole time except I didn't show up until hours later once I got off work. Then we spent the night in line and got drunk and had a pizza delivered. Then in the morning just before the store opened this in front of us had like two of his friends come out of nowhere and they took up two tickets to get a PS3. that was some bullshit, I'm only comforted in the fact that we still wouldn't have gotten one even if those guys didn't show up 15 minutes before the store opened. I'm still kinda mad at my friend for getting there earlier when I told him to.

Went to Gamestop on Saturday in Buffalo... Guy behind the counter showed me the few boxes full of GT5 that he had... Believe it or not I actually had them game in my hand...
Many retailers are reporting the game is in stock and ready to sell, but can't until the 24th.

You probably can, most karts are one-speeds, and I doubt they'd intentionally make reverse shorter. Unless it's a shifter kart or there are some sort of FIA regulations on reverse speeds, it sounds fine

I'm about 90% confident that almost all one speed competition karts are direct chain drive. No reverse.
