    Maybe!

    This is like the fifth time there's been ambiguity about the release date.

    Not that we really needed a reminder, but just in case people didn't see them before and want to get a sense of the game's warped sense of humor ... scans from the instruction booklet! (original document from 4cr)

    Good lord I can't wait to get this game. This will prolly be the first manual I will read cover to cover in a very long time. I hope beyond hope that this was olol shipped today and I can pick it up tomorrow.

    EDIT: This is also the only game I've ever paid in full when I put in my pre-order. Random fact.

    Wow, the reviews for this thing are all over the map. Game Rankings lists reviews ranging from 9.5 to 6.5. Unfortunately all but one of them are print reviews, so I can't read them.

    Goddamnit Atlus, stop jerking me around. This game has been delayed so many times without notice and now isn't shipping until the 20th?

    I wanted Contact but I'm not sure if I can be arsed to call around every time it's supposed to launch only to find out it's been delayed again.

    Christ I'm sick of them bullshitting us on the release date. :x

    I mean, yeah, we'll get it eventually, but I have Thursday off from work, I was planning on spending it playing some Contact. It would be less aggravating if this wasn't something like the 4th time it's been changed without explanation.

    How's that possible? The EB system says the 19th. The website says the 19th. I think your Atlus rep is cracked in the head. Unless you're not in the US?

    Nope.

    EB/GameStop are stupid. Ships today.

    You know, gamestop/EB aren't the only stores that sell games. I buy games at Tar-zhay unless I'm trying to find something pretty old or a used game.

    Maybe it shipped from Atlus today, but it doesn't ship from EBGAMES until Thursday.

    And I though I was the only one who pronounced it like that. :o

    But yeah, I put $5 down on it at EBGames, so to there it goes.

    I've called the Gamestop where I have my preorder, and I've been told by two different people that they'd have it Friday ... and tomorrow. o_O

    The only solution is to call Gamestop every hour for the rest of the week until they get it in.

    Hm. Well, that's true. Still, this is getting ridiculous. It's not like Atlus ships a ton of units; somebody somewhere ought to know, for real, when they're actually going to be in stores.

    Best bet is tomorrow. I did an interview with Tomm Hulett of Atlus and asked him myself what was up with the delays, and he assured me that the 17th was the ship date.

    AllRPG interview. Straight from the horses mouth.

    Most likely, the retailers are idiots.

    An excerpt: (This will make some of you happy.)
    AllRPG: What was your personal favorite part of working on the game?

    Actually, my favorite part about working on Contact was doing the manual. The Japanese version was set up like a diary that I guess a lot of Japanese kids fill out over the summer (kind of "how I spent my vacation"). We don't really have an equivalent in English, so I reworked the style of the manual with another common medium in mind. I won't spoil it here, but please look forward to at least leafing through the manual once you get the game. I think you'll enjoy it.

    I'm encouraged to see yesterday confirmed as the ship date so many places, but I still haven't gotten the customary "your preorder is coming in" call from EB's automated system, so that worries me.

    If Best Buy / Walmart / Target / anywhere has it this afternoon and EB doesn't, the other place is getting my money and EB is giving me my preorder money back. This would be the third game this year that's come in later than it should have (Starfox and Clubhouse did), and it's getting old.
