Clueless employee response #447 (but kind of a good sign)

[TechnoHippyChic]

For what it's worth:

I stopped by CompUSA on the way home from work today and to amuse myself, I asked what they had for a release date. I figured they'd spout off whatever is listed on the website (Nov. something), but after repeating it 3 times, and spelling it out twice, she found it in the computer and mumbled, "it says "IO"". She then turned to drone #2 and said: "doesn't that mean it's ordered, or something?" and he said "that means it's on its way". Then she said to me "yeah, they usually put it in here like a week before, so it should it should be in in a week or two at the most".

Total speculation here, but I'm guessing IO stands for "Incoming Order" and it's on its way. At least I have to think that, to keep from exploding...

Anyone care to check with their local CompUSA? Or any employees (non-clueless) of CompUSA here who can confirm?

 

[MistaB]

OMG lol. That would be sweet.

 

[BWMASTER]

Thanks! It was a quick and dirty edit of the iMac girl, but turned out kind of low-quality. I think I need a better source image..

Hope this isn't like the thread posted on here last night where a dude claimed that Sam's Club had "Vivendy H2SP" in their stock list for upcoming shipments...turned out to be fake.

 

[Axium]

Keekles, that would pwn so much.
Only God in heaven knows how in the hell Vivendi is keeping this from being leaked.

 

[Phlek]

Man I was going to stop by CompUSA tonight and never did. If I go tomorrow I'll be sure to ask.

 

[MistaB]

Have faith

 

[wowyouareacow]

It would be so awsome.
I feel like crying :cheers:

 

[nomicron]

he's a headcrab, has to be fake

;/

 

[mknlb50]

everyone call their compusa and check if it's true... i called mine

 

[Hawk8250]

Hmm...

Quik... you're a little devil! Cool, but devilish. I was thinking that you were talking about that in the other thread (can't rememer what it was called). If this is all true, then I think we can safely say that HL2 will be available to us next week. If not on the 30th, then later that week.

 

[MistaB]

Well if that wasnt a sweeping generalization i dont know what is.

Some of the most competant people on this forum that I know, happen to be Headcrabs bud. I wish people would stop assuming that we're all clueless newbies.

[Driftlight]

I didn't think headcrabs were allowed to say that about other headcrabs. C'mon, we gotta stick together, man

Also, good info if it's right. Hope it is...

 

[not28]

Finally SOMETHING that gives us hope...

 

[quik]

Anyone ready to play september 30th on my server?

 

[MistaB]

Yea I think I'm going to call right now. Good idea!

 

[SnowBall]

Website still says November, but I would rather take the word of a person, than a website. Hope to see more confirmations soon.

@Quik - Definately!

Quik, as soon as I get my broadband access, I'll definately stop by your server.

 

[quik]

Great. I'm including you in my buddy list

 

[spitcodfry]

My store has Nov 14 in their computers

 

[Axium]

Had to beg/plead with the guy to check the item's database.
He said the status showed "IO", but wasn't sure what that meant.
I just said thank you and hung up.

Now... YAY! OMFG! WOOT!

You're one of the more reputable posters here...
DEAR GOD YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSS :bounce: :cheers: :bounce: :cheers:

 

[MistaB]

Maybe the clueless employee made a mistake.... and told info they were not supposed to tell!

 

[Baal]

maybe valve forgot to pay-off compUSA as part of their skeem to keep the realease date a secret?
