I was |- this -| close to buy the preorder-box with the dog-tags!
... maybe i'll get it tomorrow...
When When When?
I finally picked up both North American preorder kits, so I have both posters now. All I need now is the European dog-tags. 
Buying games in Canada really stinks. I walked into both Best Buy and EB Games and neither stores even knew anything about Quake Wars. Upon mentioning it to one guy, his face lit up and ran into the back to get me a box. He came back and handed me a copy of Quake 4. :icon33:
Official word from upper management of both stores was that there would be no preorder kits in Canada. Yet on totally separate occasions, when walking into both stores for something else, I just happen to chance upon a copy of the preorder kits. At Best Buy, I took the box to the cashier and the guy had no idea how to process it since it was not an actual product with a bar code. 15 minutes later he finally rang it through as a layaway (not the correct way, but should work) and I was finally able to leave.
Something is seriously wrong with the gaming industry if it is this difficult to buy a game from 2 major retailers. And they wonder why people pirate.
