Please post your retail box findings (merged)

[GonzoX]

I will be looking for the two retail box copies of ROOST tomorrow and hope to have them in my hot little hands by this Saturday.

Could anybody who finds a retail box copy please post which retailer has them to save me from driving or phoning all over the place?

Thanks.

well the press release that was on the main page mentioned walmart and best buy so those are 2 GREAT places to start

I hope people post when the find it. amazon does not have it which is where bold sells their other games, best buy doesnt even have it in their coming soon list. all very disappointing. with some of the bugs I am seeing I dont want to get it from steam with all of the bugs that i have seen.

I spoke to my local BestBuy (Palm Desert, CA), and it will be on their shelves on 22 March. They'll have 18 copies.

I called my Best Buy and Comp USA stores here in San Bernardino, CA. Best Buy reports 12 copies on March 22 and Comp USA says they will have theirs on March 17th, not sure of how many, I just want a boxxed version as well to add the box to my collection above my PC with all my other boxxed WW2 titles.

Gamestop dosnt carry it.not on their order list..Target dosnt have it as well as of today.and not on any order list..cross those two off!
Im hoping Comp USA maybe tomorrow..or best buy? Ditto..want boxed version..to much hassle with download..and sometimes patches dont work with downloads..and then..issue of archiving.

EB Games in Pentagon Mall in Arlington VA, doesn't have it nor do they have it on any incoming-games list. In fact, all of the clerks in the store had never heard of it and were surprised when I described it to them.

They did admit, however, that just because they'd never heard of it didn't mean that the game wasn't going to be sold in their store.

Trust your eyes, not the clerks. I had the same thing happen to me with Pacific Fighters (the IL-2 Sturmovik expansion/game).

EB Clerk 1: "Never heard of it." Turns to Clerk 2: "Do you know what it is?"
EB Clerk 2: "Nothing like that here."

I wander around the store disappointed. Two minutes later I come back to the counter. "It looks kinda like this...." I plop the dusty-from-the-bottom-shelf Pacific Fighters box on the counter and give them a "you're both dumbf***s" look.

Any retail store sightings yet?

Any retail store sightings yet?

Just curious, has anybody spotted this game in a retail store yet? I purchased my version from Steam, but I would like to get my son a boxed version... Heh! Thanks for any positive input...

BTW, the game is awesome! (even got my 14 year old son hooked)

For the fatherland!

I can only hope that's the fact around here. The guys at Futureshop don't have it coming, supposedly, and neither do the guys at EB Games. I'm going crazy without this freaking game lol. Waiting to be able to afford my new PC and to play Oblivion on is hard enough.

Well, it's Saturday (3/18) afternoon and I went on a boxed version retail hunt. NO Luck at all. I tried EB Games at the mall, Target and Best Buy. Doesn't appear to be on their radar either... By the way, I live in Richmond, Virginia.

You do realize that the boxed version is identical with the Steam version, and requires Steam to run it anyway?

(What I'm waiting for are official printable backup DVD covers... )

 

[aar88]

Has anyone found it in Europe yet?

i have to say i was leery of buying from steam and not having an actual cd when i bough hl2, but i did it anyway. i haven't regretted it. in fact i really think steam is great and i can't understand why many people hate it. you get your patches automatically, your game are tied to your account so you can never lose them, and if you really need a hard copy you can use the built in backup tool to burn your gcf files.

if only i enjoyed any of my valve games, life would be perfect! but seriosuly, why don't you just buy via steam? for one thing, afaik the devs will make more money if you do, which means they survive longer and can create more cool stuff.

 

[Dheepan]

Yep I went to best buy (Live in the Nothern VA region) and they sent they would get their copies on the 22nd.

 

[bluecow19]

As of today i have called target, Best buy, compusa, and ebgames, and most of them have not event heard of the game and all of them have no idea when or if they are going to get it! Oh yea, I live in MA.
