Ugh, EB Games, I despise you so much right now.

So I’m incredibly excited for the MGS4 presell program, which includes a Bonus DVD(Metal Gear Saga 2.0) and access to the Metal Gear Online beta in mid April. I’ve had my sister preorder it for me, since, well I’m in Singapore and she’s in Canada Anyway, unfortunately, the idiots working at our local EB games seem to know nothing about it. I’ve phoned them a couple of times, and each time I’m met with “it only comes with the special edition…”

…

THE HELL IT DOES! There isn’t even a freaking special edition, just limited and regular <_< and the bonus DVD comes with both. Okay, maybe he isn't game savvy...ironic considering he works in a game store. So I phone up Bestbuy instead, even worse, the guy says they won't start taking preorders until a month or so before the game's release. Doesn't make sense, the presell program started this month and the online beta starts on the 17th and ends in the first week of May...

So here's the deal so far, several branches of EB, including my local one, and Bestbuy, are oblivious to these bonus DVDs. I'm really frustrated now. Anyway, I phone up the EB at Metro and guess what! THEY ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT IT! Success! Except I can't pick up my preorder there...The girl said that all the branches have the same information and that they will call customers that have preordered once the shipment arrives. However, considering the situation at the local EB, will they even do that? They don't even know about the damn things, how will they know that they should be calling customers?

I phoned them again today, this time I'm met with a girl who simply says 'Hi'...I had to ask her if it was EB that I called and not a wrong number. I ask her about the DVDs, she says they haven't received it yet. So I guess at least one person knows about them.

I've also left a comment on Blog.Playstation, hopefully I can get some answers there. Does anyone of you know anything about this?

This is the most anticipated game for me this year, next would probably be LittleBigPlanet and Resistance 2…It would totally suck if I can’t get my hands on MGS 2.0 and the online beta

PS. I need a haircut…
