The odds are slim, man. Best way to get it is GO GET IT!!! Sure there will be plenty of gamers camped outside of every game retailer from the week before, but if you pre-order it, you are guaranteed a copy.
If you order it online, it will show up with the rest of your mail, which usually shows up between the hours of 12p and 5p. So here's what I suggest...
Go to your NEAREST game retailer (the closer you are, the sooner you get to play it), pre-order the Limited Collector's Edition which can only be pre-ordered for $5 more, and if choose to, camp out in the parking lot on Nov. 8th.
I have no worries what so ever, for I work at a game retailer. I've already purchased my copy of the Limited Edition and have requested the 9th off. So I can just go right in pick up my pre-ordered copy and play it all day. :P ......nah, I'm not that mean :)
NOTE: DO NOT PRE-ORDER IT FROM WAL-MART!!! Even though it will be about $3 cheaper, it will not come out on the 9th. They wait until the Friday after to release it so that the other game retailers can make their profit.
first off i hate how gamestop gets games a day after their official release date. everygame comes out a day late. i mean dont they realize and cant the change their shipping schedule.
2. most retailers i suspect will stay open till midnight the day before. like they do for vice city ect.
3 i live in new york city, and most places here dont follow street dates cause they are privately owned. so i will hopefully get my copy a day or maybe 2 days ahead.
4. if you preorder now you shouldnt have any worries. but do it quick. i am pretty sure microsoft has the money and the will to make a crap load of copies especially since the game releases so close to "black friday" "or what is otherwise known as the biggest shopping day of the year.
