[ Game -> Update ]

Pretty amazing since I didn't even know there were still retail copies
available to buy. I was under the impression that the Fallout Trilogy
pack was a Europe only thing.<blockquote>NPD's Top Ten (4/26 - 5/2)

I've seen the Trilogy pack floating around here in Melbourne too, even before Fo3 was released.

Even now, kids are going "What the fuck is this shit!? This is nothing like Fallout 3! Where the hell is my Fatman and why is there so much dialogue!?"

People bought it thinking they'd get Fallout 3 cheap.
I can imagine their surprise when they found only isometric turn-based games.

I hope many next-gen gamers got fooled and spent their money on something they don't want.

The only problem is that HervÃ© Caen got the money.

Hey guys when a games gets sold from retail is that when the publisher/developer gets the money or do they already get the money when the retail store receives them (I was under the impression retail stores buy the game).

They recently rereleased it to Walmart, Best Buy and other major stores.

A company that tracks and sells sale data. They kind of suck at it since they only track retail and only major store chains in the US. Their relevance is dropping very fast, but they're all we've got.

Publisher gets money when the game goes to retail, not when the game is sold from the store.

Generally good sales equal more orders, though.

Well if you guys still have Tactics, we do have a multiplayer community.

If you wanted to check it out, get coopnet and the megacoop pack from HERE

Edit: I walked out of Gamestop yesterday with COD4 and heard 2 guys talking about how Bethesda was the best game making company or some shit. The best part of the convo was that Fallout 3 is from the dudes who made Oblivion so you know it HAS TO BE fucking good.

That's Gamestop. I was a lepper at my gamestop for hating FO3. Anytime it was brought up, everyone got hush hush around me and basically anything that involved taste, my opinion became discarded because I disliked FO3. Don't trust gamestop's opinion.
