I got to GameStop at around 8:30 am, where I was supposed to meet a friend of mine who is also my co-worker, as well as his girlfriend, and another friend. The co-worker was planning on getting AS, and SSB for WiiU, so afterwards we'd go to his place and play the game. I wasn't able to touch my game until I got home at around 3 pm. I started with Omega Ruby, and haven't opened Alpha Sapphire until I finish the former. :D

I preordered Omega Ruby and after my job interview I rushed over in and out of traffic to get there before it closed. Bought the last guide book they had too. No idea why I don't really need it.XD
But I fangirled over it all the way home, and have not stopped playing it.

Right after getting out of work (5PM) I had a hour drive in rush hour to one of our 5 Toys-R-Us locations giving the Pokemon Center Mega Charizard (X or Y) plush when you get both games. I really do not care for the Y version and wanted X for a while now (that grey and blue <3) so all day I was just hoping one would be left ;w;
Got there and someone infront of me order double copies of both games and got one of each plush <_< Reseller? Was thinking he was going to take both X Charizard's -_- In the end I got the last X plush (they only had one Y plush left but this was like 6:30 at night now) and picked up Sonic Boom Tails plushie and Smash Bros Wii U while I was at it. Got the gamecube adaptor from Gamestop as Toys R Us was clueless.
Started Ruby first then got hooked in playing as Megaman in Smash xD
So very awesome day for me :) Hope everyone else is having fun!

On a side note they managed to mess up my pre-order by putting me down as two Alpha's and no Omega. Then one person told three different employee's the story. Three! Then one random employee takes over the transaction and tries to ring me up as two Alphas and one Omega. Um, no? xD So now my receipt says two Alphas no Omega. This must hurt their computer's catalog somehow but oh well, I was just concerned about getting the plush they kept saying "i dunno..." about. <.<

I preordered AlphaSapphire months ago and paid off a little bit of it. I picked it up along with Smash U at midnight on the 20th. I'm actually gonna surprise my sister later and pick up the copy of OmegaRuby she preordered. She doesn't have a 3DS or the money for the game, yet she preordered lmfao. So I thought I'd do something nice for her and get my other 3DS back from my bf and go pay off her copy and bring it back home for her. RSE are really the only video games she plays period so I think she'll really enjoy OR. I mean, she did preorder it. :P

As the terrible ORAS mod I am, I don't even have the game yet because I foolishly decided to order it on Amazon and didn't check the "receive on release day" box so it won't be here until next Wednesday... when I will be gone on holiday. :)

I preordered about 2 weeks in advance, and I picked up the game in Gamestop Friday night. I didnt get a poster, but i don't really care. I clocked in 3 hours that night and I have about 8 hours total now (and I haven't even gotten to the 4th gym yet). Its Sunday tomorrow and Ill probably get in another couple of hours. IM SO EXCITED!!!

I picked up both copies from GameStop at 3pm. Would've loved to get them earlier in the day but I had a 10:30am hair appointment then I had to head over to the nail salon and was there for about an hour. But no complaints....I spent the morning getting pampered and the rest of the evening/night playing Alpha Sapphire! Haven't touched OR yet....

I pre-ordered it, thinking that I'd get it on the 21st, but found out that Europe doesn't get the games until the 28th. So yeah, I still have a week left of waiting D:

I preordered it from GameStop in August and went to the store and picked it up on Saturday. No muss no fuss.

My brother and I had them pre-ordered at Gamestop, along with Smash for Wii U, and my brother had to pick them up himself on Friday, because I had an interview to go to at campus on that same day, so I dropped him off at thirty minutes before interview's schedule. By the time the interview's over and drove back to Gamestop, he came out of the store with our copies, so I came just in time.

After waking up my cousin as usual, I went to EB Games, picked up my pre-order of Alpha Sapphire and went back home. Luckily, the line wasn't too long. While I waited for my copy, I had a quick chat with a mother who got mixed up with her son's choice of both versions, since he wasn't clear on that.

No one would ever guess I play Pokemon judging by my appearance. The way I am as a person (confident, decent looking ;), good with the ladies) at work people would be shocked! I get odd looks when I purchase video games at GameStop because I either get looked at by chick cashiers like, "could you help me get pregnant?!", or by dudes like, "could you help me get pregnant?!" Even when I bought Assassin's Creed Unity. Not just kids play video games! Ya know?

Grabbed OR early in the morning Friday on my way to work. No pre-order, no hiding; just walked in and asked for Omega Ruby. The guy cashier said "right on," and I felt even more cool.

Alright, so my story... actually, me and my friend's story.

We both already reserved the game since back at September at a shop called Terminal Game. By release date, we both received a call from the shop stating that ORAS is already in stock, but since I had college and a day-long event on Saturday, the earliest I could pick it up is by Sunday. My friend wanted to start ORAS with me, even when she live really close to the store, so she waited 'til Sunday as well.

Now see here: We went to the shop last Sunday, and they were out.

We were mad at first, but then the thought that a lot of people had picked it up at Friday and Saturday crossed our minds. Obviously the amount of copies in stock would ran out by the time we came.

And then they said that they'll be receiving another shipment today. Cue waiting it out by going to the restaurant, nearly going to the movies (but then saw the line), and fooling around with our Smash Bros demos 'cause we're dirt cheap people that could only afford for a copy of both ORAS for the two of us.

Still, we did get them by... 1 or 2 PM?

Well I feel like a dunce. I had pre-ordered my game, Alpha Sapphire, a few weeks ago.

The 21st rolls around, and luckily I had the day off, so early in the morning I set off to go pick it up.

I arrive at the store a few minutes before it was set to open, at 9am.

I was the first one in.

Find out that the store I went to was not the store that I had pre-ordered the game at. I needed to go to the other store in town.

I was so embarrassed.

I arrive at the second EB Games location and decided then and there that I wanted the Omega Ruby version rather than the Alpha Sapphire version. Luckily their shelves were packed with copies of the game so there was no problems with me getting it.

I was one happy fox!

According to Shopto.net my order has been dispatched, perhaps I may receive my copy on Thursday a day early than official release date. n_n
