    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    I was at my local EB games before and I was informed that their has been issues with shipping/quarantine and certain orders might not make an appearance till after the 3rd :/ (btw, I'm in South Australia so it might not fully affect the rest of the country)

      That doesn't sound good, I'll have to wait and see if it comes or not.

      quarantine? did the Anthrax scanners detect EA's "evilness" in the containers? :)

      Nope, Australia gets everything on a Thursday, which is the third.

      Lol, it may be something to do with an evil Gnome scheme.

      GAME stores were selling Ambitions today in ACT, VIC and NSW that I know of. You can go to http://www.game.com.au/findastore to see if there is a store near you.

      I knew it! I have never trusted gnomes, they are even more dodgy than dwarves and midgets!

      It's not just Ambitions though, it's like practically every other game that was shipped as well cause all the people that pre-orded Super Mari Galaxy have to wait now (Thank god I didn't pre-order that as well)

      Yes, you gotta be careful of those little Gnomes, especially the ones with a star on their hat.

      I was told by EB today that the game is being released on the 3rd so EA can get online orders for three days and make more profits.. Yet another fail.

      I have EB Games, Kmart and 🐸🐸🐸🐸 Smith within walking distance from where I live so I'm hoping to get it from one of those. I'm kind of resigned to the fact that I'll have to wait until Thursday and I'm not too upset about that because I won't really have alot of time to play until Thursday afternoon anyway.

      EDIT: filter lol

      @MATZ - Oh that would be interesting if EB got their's cause I forgot to mention in the first paragraph that certain orders had stuffed up because they didn't order enough or something like that (probably should of mentioned this in the first post)(If it was only the store, its the one at Inglefarm)

      @thesimdeej33 - How much did you pay (kinda forgot to ask while I was their) cause the website said $48 but with WA it was cheaper to order online rather then going to one of the stores

      Edit: Missed out on a couple of posts
      @kitty_186 - If you are living in South Australia their is a GAME at Marion and Centro Arndale that I know of, starting to realize that GAME is better then EB.

      I knew I should have walked the 20 meters to the GAME store up the corridor from EB. I guess I'll be getting it one way or another tomorrow.

      Thanks for posting the 'find a store', HunnyBunny, I didn't realise we had a Game store in town...and I trudged through about 7 or 8 game selling shops looking for Ambitions.
      I think I'll take a drive to my local Game store tomorrow.
