My GTA Odyssey [video games]

Sunday: Pre-order the game. Reserve for $5.

Tuesday: Game is released, I am in Atlanta, get back at 9:30.

Wednesday: Leave work, get to Gamestop at 8:02. Gamestop is closed. What store in NY that is a retailer of things other than bagels closes at 8pm???

Thursday: Attend Rangers-Penguins game. No attempt made to obtain game.

Friday: Network at job is shut down at 6. Make it to Gamestop. My preorder has been sold (begin thinking of how to launch into Seinfeld “Reservations” bit). They only hold preorders for 48 hours, and make no mention of this anywhere on the preorder receipt or tell you when you buy it. Travel to Best Buy. Tons of games. Buy it. Still have not played it. Maybe never.

UPDATE: (And I am serious) I got the red ring of death. Now I have to send my system in for repair. Awesome!!!
