OFFICIAL LAUNCH WEEK THREAD | Forums

<span class="ev_code_PINK">Greetings Splinter Cell Fans and Welcome to Launch Week!

The purpose of this thread is two-fold. First, I want to provide a place for everyone to gush about their experiences with the game as it comes out this week! Second, I want to provide the very most basic information about the game and our forum community for newcomers.

Here's the fun part of this thread. Please post the following here:

* When did you get your copy of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory?

* Where did you get it?

* What was your very first noteworthy impression of the game (or the boxart or the loading screen or whatever else is related to your beautiful new relationship with your beautiful new Splinter Cell game)?

*****

Now the practical part of the thread:

Basic FAQ for Game and Forums

This means that your store could get it anytime in the next few days depending on how its shipment travels in the mail. Some may have it tomorrow, some may not have it until the 31st.

Q: How will I know if my store has it?
A: If you preordered the game, it's possible that they will call you. If not, I would recommend that you call your nearest store and ask them.

[Chaos_Recon]

I got the March 28, 2005 at EB Games! My first reaction was trying to pick up my jaw, because it was literally stuck to the floor. In fact, it is still dropped right now.

[CAINE-SC]

I will post my answers to those questions as soon as i get my copy. Another question for you Rhoulette, why don't you answer my Private Message?

[HardToExist]

I got it this morning and I can honestly say it's the best game I've ever played, ever...

I haven't gone on Xbox Live yet, but I will probably be on later tonight. I'm trying to ease in slowly so my head doesn't explode.heh

[Rbdb1R]

i'm still waiting....gamestop.com says my order is still "processing" whch i'm assuming that means it hasn't shipped yet

[Nightmarecast24]

I got it this morning in the mail from Ubisoft.

My impression?
Well I am a man of many words, but at this time, due to the amazing experience I am having.
I am speechless.
I will write up a nice impression for you later today Rhoulette.

[HardToExist]

Someone should sticky this bad boy.

[Goodguy10231]

Im in Canada, which sucks for lots of reasons, but the major one is, i pre-ordered it from EB games and I wont get it until April First
