Theyre done shipping until 9/3..if u didnt pre-order it before i think august 22nd, then urs would be shipped 9/3 and not when it was released...so i recommend not using the net and go to a local EB and get it. I called mine to ask if theyd have enough in stock on the 28th to just walk in but she told me it would be best to preorder it. I dunno if she was scamming me out of 5 bux or if many many people want it. So its up to u, but i say preorder it at a local EB

It is 39.99. Maybe if you bought madden, i got a magazine and it said 40 bux for it...If u didnt get madden or didnt get the magazine then tell them a website like ebgames.com

I asked them flat out how much is it?  they said 49.95.........I pre-ordered it pre-e3 but they should give me the differnce back in credit......I\'m getting another memory card, just to put my On-line info, my PS2 and my DVD Remote info on to open up more memory on my other card

How much space does the ps2 and dvd info take up?

Because the online info only uses 137k of space.  So if those other two are low in memory to then i hardly think its worth buying another memory card for them.  

But its not like you can go wrong buying one as you will eventually need it for more games.

Well even SCEA says its $39.99 on their web site.

When you go there Im sure they\'ll have a computer, tell them to log onto SCEA.

I just got off the phone with EB and they said that they didnt even have enough to fill the first wave of pre oders, but they second wave is coming out on Sept 16th.  Im gonna pre order for that today when i pick up SOCOM.  I still might get the adaptor today, but only if I can trade a few games for it.
