Fuck Ebgames.com

Their website shows my order as not yet shipped.

Their website says there is still time to cancel my order (and buy it at Fry's where they have hundreds of copies.

Their website will not allow me to cancel my order, but I can call them on the phone.

I called them on the phone, and they said, their system has not yet been updated, they can't tell me if it shipped, and they can't tell me if there is a tracking number, and they can't cancel my order because it might have shipped.

I almost always go to my local retailers on a release day and pick up whatever game I want. This was the first time where I thought, what the hell, I'll give online game ordering a try. This is the last time. Fuck EBgames.com.

I pre-ordered from Amazon. They kept pushing back the ship day. When I cancelled yesterday, the estimate was May fucking 9th. I still haven't received my pre-order disc.

If you look here: http://www.plaync.com/store/coh_purchase.html you can order a serial number.

You can still cancel the order from EB. Those assclowns will just jerk you around until you tell them to cancel it. I dealt with them yesterday after they told me that mine had already shipped. Fuck if I will pay them $50 when I walked into Best Buy today and paid $40 for it off the shelf.

You just need to be an ass to them on the phone....somehow I think you will be able to handle that. ;-)

So I can get a key at PlayNC, and then I don't even have to go to a store?

We got ours last night at GameStop (reserved). Check your local one and see if they have copies left. The store down here are getting replinshed on Friday so maybe they may have one.
