Chances are however, you may be able to get your GBA on the 11th anyway if you go late enough. Often times, stores will post a later date than the official launch date to be safe (as in, avoiding angry casual gamers/parents). This is usually the case at places like department stores and related chains that don't have a strong focus on games. I know some places didn't get N64s until the 30th; at least, as far as selling them. It all depends on the chain and the individual store; they may be holding out to play things safe, or they just might not get shipments in until then after all (location is also an important factor). Here in Texas, there's usually a two day delay on the shipping date on Japanese made games. Stuff by Id or Midway however, are usually on shelves the day of, if not before, the release date because the companies are based in Texas. Personally? I can't wait to buy Capcom's yummy $20 new Dreamcast games -- Mars Matrix and Project Justice both new for a meager $20 a pop. How cool is that?

Tuesday is generally the big day for gaming shipments; I've certainly had to
wait until Tuesdays for games...so it's not just you. Chances are however,
you may be able to get your GBA on the 11th anyway if you go late enough.
Often times, stores will post a later date than the official launch date to
be safe (as in, avoiding angry casual gamers/parents). This is usually the
case at places like department stores and related chains that don't have a
strong focus on games. I know some places didn't get N64s until the 30th; at

Here in Texas, there's usually a two day delay on the shipping date on
Japanese made games. Stuff by Id or Midway however, are usually on shelves
