Yesterday, (3/14 )I did my daily checking of EBworld's release list to make
sure DOA2's date did not change and it didn't, still on for 3/16, but then
after checking my NGs, i read it had been shipped and i called my local store,
so off i went to pick it up and lived happily ever after...

Today I checked EBworld (3/15) and it lists Sword of the Bezerk as a recently
released title and on the "Coming soon" list for 3/16 it's original date. So i
pick my phone up and call my local EB, he sais he does not expect it untill
tommorrow? I know this title is not as big as DOA2 (which i had to pry myself
off of with a crowbar to come write this), but WTF is EBworld doing? Did they
attempt to put DOA2 on the recently released list and boofed? I dunno...

EB has never been known to accurately display release dates.
We've been putting up with this for years.

After spending thousands of dollars over the years at EB you'd think they'd
eventually learn to care about the customer.
They don't!

Oh yeah, don't forget to check out those hyper-enthusiastic phoney "customer
reviews".
EB probably aren't responsible for them, but man.... some of them sound so
artificial it makes me wonder.

When EBWorld begins shipping a title before the stores get their copies --
as they're doing with Guts' Rage, apparently -- they double-up like this.
At least they seem to have fixed a few persistent bugs in the coming
releases section and added a "more" to the new release list. I still find
they have the best release dates out there, especially if you shop at an
EB as I do...
