rock band has arrived in canada...in a BIG WAY

after numerous reports that rock band quantities were negligible and fears that you should start getting worried about getting a copy, it seems like everywhere you look, those big blue boxes are staring you in the face.

i know, that i, like everyone else, grabbed one the instant i saw it, fearing i might never have another chance to own one.

for the benefit of the few people to read my blog, i've documented my excursion, and disappoint/glee that there are now copies of rock band everywhere, where there were none a week prior (at least none that were on sale):

wal-mart near the cash.


wal-mart again, this time above the game accessories.

wal-mart the third, i guess they ran out of room on the floor and over the 360 stuff, to they stacked some extra boxes above the old ps2 cabinet that's in the back corner of the electronic's section.

this is the stack they now have in eb, after they guy told me they had 'a couple' in stock. they were receiving another shipment as i took this picture...


and this was in starstruck, a lame movie store in the scarboro town center. they too got a late shipment.



and don't delude yourself into thinking that these were only the ps3 versions that no one was buying before, there is an almost 50/50 balance, if not more of the 360 versions out there now.

i guess the droughts were just speculation and rock band won't turn into the next wii consumer frenzy.

loving the rock, but hating the block,

JD

*edit*

you can see for yourself how many are xbox360 versions by clicking the pictures.

i had no idea how detailed the pics were that i can take with my blackberry.

also, by block in my sign off, i meant how sometimes it kind of feels like stores hold out supplies until they can shelve a ton of merch. so 'block' is as-in how eb c**k blocks me everytime something good comes out. peace.
