Gears of War shipments stuck in Memphis

Someone’s throwing monkey wrenches in Memphis, and it’s hit Gears of War pretty badly. Shipments of the Epic Games‘ highly-rated shooter are having problems getting out of Memphis.

According to reports, GameStop and EB Games representatives are informing customers who checked on the status of Gears of War’s arrival in their hometowns that there would be a delay. What the delay is, no one’s been able to find out as of this writing.

Deepsixx put it best on GoW’s official boards, however, saying the following:

First EBgames/Gamestop said midnight Tuesday launch party, then it was 10:30 am Wednesday shipment, then 5pm Wednesday shipment (automated corporate voicemail sent to pre-order customers).

And now…they send out a corporate automated message to numerous pre-orders on the East Coast stating “sometime Thursday”.

Called EB Games…statement was “Fedex didn’t ship 70% of GOW from Memphis”.

If you’ve already got yourself a copy, congratulations to you. In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for an actual explanation on what’s holding up the GoW supply in Memphis. Till then, sit tight, our Gears-deprived brethren.
