Still waiting to Rock.

So after writing yesterday’s post about waiting for days for Guitar Hero 5 to arrive, I realized that I had made an oversight.  At the bottom of the email confirming shipment, basically the fine print, it noted that the game was due to arrive on September 4.

Sep 4 Delivery

So at least I had some answer.  Not the one I wanted, but it accounted for the delay, and why I spent 3 days waiting with bated breath.

I woke up today excited for D-Day (delivery day, of course).  Eager and perhaps a tad greedy, I checked the tracking #, expecting to see that the package was en route.  And to my extreme dismay I found this:

Notified

If you can’t read the text, it says “Electronic Shipping Info Received.”  So it might not have even shipped yet, let alone arriving today.  Amazon, quit playing games with my heart.  My Guitar Hero anticipating heart.

The sad thing is I know that next time I pre-order something it’ll be from Amazon.  And the cycle will start all over again.  Well, the devil you know.

Where’s my Guitar Hero 5???

Amazon, c’mon!  Where are you?  You’re usually right on top of these things.  When I ordered The State the DVDs arrived a day early. So when I plunked down my $60 three weeks ago for Guitar Hero 5 I naturally expected it to arrive on September 1st, the release date, if not before.  I considered ordering the title from GameStop, who guaranteed that it would arrive on September One.  But I went with Amazon, because they’ve been good to me in the past and I’m loyal.  They have all my debit card info on file, it just made more sense.  So you can imagine my frustration when September the first rolled around and the game did not arrive. Let down.

But late that night I did receive an email.  It had shipped!

Guitar Hero Has Shipped

So naturally the next morning, I check out the tracking #, and there’s no record of the shipment.  Okay, that happens, but it’s still probably going to come that day, right?  Wrong.  Wednesday came and went and still no tracking updates.  And here we are now, Thursday, and still:

Tracking #?

C’mon, Amazon!  Deliver!  I feel like you’ve lied to me.  By now I was planning on wasting my afternoon playing “Why Bother.”  Now I’m almost being productive.  Thanks a lot.
