    Ok I feel real stupid for this but I waited to long to reserve gears of war 2. Now none of my stores near me, gamestop (4 of them), target, and walmart are no longer taking reservations for the gears of war 2 limited edition. The only this I can do is get it from gamestop.com they guarantee that i will get it on street day realse. on novermber 7th.

    Gamestop guarantee

    Pre-order Gears of War 2 Limited Edition by November 6th at 11am CST with overnight shipping and get guaranteed delivery on the street date of November 7th! If your product does not arrive on the street date, we will fully refund your shipping charge. Continental United States only. Must have Overnight Service available in your area. Offer void if you are unable to accept a delivery that was attempted. Not responsible for orders delayed due to incorrect address, credit card information, inclement weather or Boomshot wielding Locust scum.

    Has anyone resevred a game from gamestop.com and got there game on the street day release? Thanks!

    I just want to make sure before I do this.

    I pre-ordered Far Cry 2 off Newegg, I'm hoping that it will ship today which is the release date for the game.

    I used this service from gamestop.com back when Diablo II came out. It delivered just like they advertised.
