This is the fourth email from them i've received changing the release date, but this is the first with a message of it coming sooner! Here's hoping they're right...CAN'T WAIT!

That's not for the 360. That's for current gen.

[DaoudS]

i think they might've pre-ordered the wrong one for you...

Well i just went to the Best Buy site and it looks like they have MLB2k6 coming out for both the xbox and 360 at the same day:

Take a look

I wouldnt trust bestbuy with release dates on games. I rather ebgames or gamestop.

[DaoudS]

yeah same. bestbuy = good with electronics. ebgames = good with videogaming.

[bradenlk]

I clicked on Estimate Arrival time with 1 day shipping, and it says 4/28...explain that one to me when they have 4/12 as the release date hahaha

[Dr Malice]

They have already stated the 360 version will ship after the current gens...so need to even speculate them coming same day....I still see Gamestop ship date as April 24th..

These are getting annoying, if I was in person I would slap all of you that are making these posts.. I mean, official sites and 2k have said.. 4/03 for current-gen, and 4/25 for the 360, Gamecube, and PSP. If there are about 10 sites that all say the 4/03 and 4/25 release dates, and ONE out of those 10 says 4/03 for both, or 4/12 or whatever, which release date are you gonna believe? c'mon people.. plus EBGames is trustworthy, they always get games dead on time when they come out, same with Gamestop. I can bet you an assload of money that Best Buy wont have it before those 2.

"plus EBGames is trustworthy"

LMAO! Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who didn't get a 360 at launch after being promised they would. I don't trust any of them. When I get that call from Gamecrazy, I know it's out. Until then, I wait.

you are a complete IDIOT thinking that is EBGames' fault. They don't manufacture the consoles, MICROSOFT DOES. What would they sell if they didn't get the consoles. MS sent a majority of its consoles to major outlets like Best Buy, Circuit City, Futureshop, WALMART; not guys who sell used games. EBGames, IMO, is very trustworthy and I haven't had a problem yet.

[ChunkeyMonkey]

Exactly what DaoudS said. Its not EB's fault for that, and I don't know about you, but my EBGames didn't promise people one.. I got one, but they said "If you're not in the top 20 on this list, you most likely wont get one till after christmas" I was #23 and they got 3 in like 4 days before christmas, and that was it. So yes, I do believe they are trustworthy, at least my local one is.

Does anyone know if slam zone will be standard for online play (ranked games) again? I hope not
