The Conduit Sold Out?

The Conduit Sold Out?

I don’t know about other cities, but as far as mine goes, The Conduit developers must be excited. After a quick bite at Olive Garden with some friends, I rushed over to Target to grab my new copy of the game. Like many other Wii owners, I’ve been dieing to get my hands on The Conduit. It’s game play is top notch (according to various gamers who’ve had the chance to play the game) and I was ready to get my hands on it — tonight.

As I rushed down the clothing isle, making my way to the electronics section, I was grining ear-to-ear that I’d finally get to dust off my little white console. I arrived in the electronics section and headed straight towards the gaming section. I turned down the section that read “Wii Games” and proceeded to scan the glass covered case. I kept looking, and looking, and it finally dawned on me: there is two places that don’t have games. Maybe I should have checked there? Say it ain’t so, not The Conduit! Yes, folks, that empty space read “The Conduit $49.99.” I couldn’t believe it, The Conduit had sold out. In the frantic state I was in, I immediately googled Wal-Marts number. I called and called, every one of them was sold out. I couldn’t believe it, day one and I’m screwed.

There is a bright side to my suffering, however. High Voltage Software is getting what they deserve: sales. This game could be the start of something huge for Wii owners. Game developers might start developing quality first-person titles for us. This, my friends, is just the beginning.

    You’re lucky – I went out on Tuesday, and Best Buy/Target/Game Stop said they weren’t even getting any until the 24th. By some miracle, I went to Game Stop today and got the only non-reserved copy they had. Keep it up!
