While I am sure that they did not ship to the retailers, are there copies out in the wild at the distributers yet? Or did they not even leave the manufacturing stage yet?

pretty sure you could have found it last week at a few mom and pop stores. However, since they made this announcement, they probably called every chain this morning or over the weekend or friday or something and asked for it back.

Considering people have gotten their hands on 2k I'm surprised no one has a copy of Elite...that makes me think they never got shipped to retailers which means someone knew this delay was going to happen way before today...it's clear the devs didn't know though...

Yeah, EA notoriously waits until week of release to ship. sometimes within 4-5 days! This is why I am asking. I know they are packaged, sitting somewhere, but whether or not someone can get to them is another story.

All the copies are buried in New Mexico next to copies of the E.T. game.

they wanted until IGN got the game then got word it wasn't going to be good. I bet something like that happened, usually after release parties, they give games to reviewers. They got their hands on it and was not pleased.

what did WTF said? we are not their market? the metacritic score of 90 was..

and it wasn't going to happen this year, so they scrapped

I'm curious to see if any copies show up on ebay.

I really want to get my hands on one as a keepsake.
