Is Best Buy behind the times?

[DoctorZettabyte]

I was looking around to blow a year-old gift crad online today, and I came across this for the XBox. What do you make of it? SC:G is definetley cancelled, but what's up with this?

Well I think that best buy must of put it up there for some sort of pre-order but I geuss they forgot to put it down. I thought ghost had a multiplayer mode as well and it says that it is singleplayer.

I thought ghost was never officialy canceled but they had to postpone it because of the next-gen systems.

I feel sorry for the people who pre-ordered it :P

Blizz should stick to PC where it is alot harder to become outdated, look at StarCraft.

SC:G is definitely canceled*
It's not canceled, it's indefiantly postponed, not CANCELED!... gar barble durble. Saying SC:G is canceled is like saying SCII will never come.

Well, anyway, it's definitely for the people that wants to pre-ordered it. My dad pre-ordered mine for my birthday and canceled the order when it was announced "postponed for future counsels"*; decided to just buy it in the store when it officially comes out.

And some stores are probably too busy or uncaring to remove things like this from there stocks or list...

I wonder why Blizzard thought of only releasing it on the Console only in the first place?

Also, I wonder how the reaction would of been if it was Starcraft 2 that was announced, and then 'indefinitely postponed'?

You would probably see a news post depicting Blizz HQ in flames... and ProtossChick leading an angry mob of rockers, punks and WB nerds :P

Fixed. ^_^

...and maybe Best Buy knows something we don't... :shiftyr:

Heh. But really, BB isn't actually an exclusivly gaming oriented store -- games are just a side business for them, so they prolly don't really care. ;) They are, as you said, "behind the times." Just a bit.

Let's look at the definition of 'postponed inevitably', going word by word.

Postpone: –verb (used with object), -poned, -pon·ing.
1. to put off to a later time; defer: He has postponed his departure until tomorrow.
2. to place after in order of importance or estimation; subordinate: to postpone private ambitions to the public welfare.

Indefinite: –adjective
1. not definite; without fixed or specified limit; unlimited: an indefinite number.
2. not clearly defined or determined; not precise or exact: an indefinite boundary; an indefinite date in the future.

So Starcraft: Ghost was put off to an undefined time. You know what this means in simpler terms? Canceled.

i find it strange that it has such a close date (its 3/25/07, says it out on 6/15/07) so im not really sure they "just forgot to take it down", but inever got into SCG, kind thought it suck...anyway that is weird and creepy.
