I preordered mine because I wanted the figurine. XB

But, I'm worried about lines too. I'm in a weird area because I live in a small town, but I'm within 15 minutes of a university town. So I don't know if that will mean more lines or less lines. :X

In any case, the best of luck to all of you in the acquisition of HG/SS. :D

I pre-ordered.
In the U of the K I have Game, Gamestation and a few shops like Tesco and Asda that'd sell it. But I wanted the figurine.
And when I pre-ordered Platinum, I got it a day before the release (;

I don't see how the Pokemon thing can be seriously widespread enough to have a shortage. Where I'm at, most places only sell a few Pokemon games a week. I can only assume that there are those content with the games they have. And with that, they may or may not make like a hospital and get the patience to collect their HGSS later. I'm 25 so I did preorder and yet most my age are not into Pokemon as much any more or not at all. Heck, I can see those my age with Johto memories perhaps possibly maybe getting into Pokemon again.

Will there be a storm of 20-some year old forum n00bs in the coming weeks?

Depends on where you live. I know my city never makes a huge deal over new Pokemon releases (it's big, but not huge) but other towns might be sold out like nothing... I'm sure they'll have a new shipment in soon, though, if they do sell out!

All I know is, I better get my copy since I preordered it back in February. I'll be upset if I go to GameStop and find out that my copy was given away or something like that.

Last Friday I went to buy Heavy Rain/Preoder HGSS, and I didn't see anyone else there pre-ordering it except for this four year old who could barely remember the games name. Maybe I live in a weird city.

I never really fell out of playing the games because as far as Pokemon goes, that's all I'm into. I love the games as they are fun and addicting. I'm 22 and I pre-ordered SoulSilver. Oh well.

Cause i did preorder it....But i gotta ride my bike and i doubt my parents will let me leave THAT early (They dont even know im gettin the game. They complained about me preordering diamond so id like to keep it that way)

I hope there isn't! With all the bad news I hear of gamestop (selling your game if they're short, pfft do not want. >_>)
I'm playing it right now, but I'm going to buy the *real* version on sunday (getting both) and I'm hoping I can go early because I want both figurines. I hope they have enough. >_<

There are a lot of stores that sell video games near me. I reserved 1 copy of Heart Gold and 1 copy of Soul Silver and I need to get another pair of them since they are birthday presents for friends of mine. The only times I see line-ups out here are on Boxing Day and Christmas and no one around here seems to like waking up early so that's going to be my plan for the other two copies. That will be my redemption for missing out on Final Fantasy 13! I'll show you to leave me a X-Box copy of that game you b&@#$^ds! *Shakes his hand vehemently*

I preordered at Target, they may have a slightly better chance of getting it before madness insues....
Argh! I live in Houston! What am I saying?! Madness will begin at 8Am! No copies, OR mercy! :paranoid:

The poor Cashiers... I heard one saying he was frightened that if the Preorder line was so long, what would happen if they were down to the last copy *shudder*

Poor guy...

I have a question, I heard that some people that pre-ordered Platinum got theirs early. Do you think they'll do that with HG/SS?

...

Because that would be awesome. =X
