Everyone in the US, I went to Best Buy yesterday, and they checked the PS2 version of FIFA 2004 is due November 2nd.

Don't exactly know when PC/GBA is due though.

Also, let's pressure EA to sell TCM here in the US. I want Footie Fusion!

Do any of you know EA canada's email address? I just want to bombard them with emails to see if they can sell TCM here for the PS2.

I checked with Best Buy who is the leading game seller in the US. They told me they'll only get in Nov. 2nd, and that was yesterday. The guy checked his computer for the dates, didn't just tell me.

Also, some of these smaller stores might tell you they can get the game eariler, but even if they do, with shipping, it just gets to you around that date.

I didn't make up thsi info, they told me. Also if you check the fifa soccer 2004 website

http://www.easports.com/games/fifa2004/home.jsp

it says it will come in November.

No...

The November release dates are correct unfortunately. At least for the PS2 in North America.

EBGames lists the date as 11/04. I verified this at an EB store yesterday when we were shopping at the mall.

Gamestop has sent me the following EMail:

Store dates mean absolutely nothing. It is their best guess. They have no idea when they will get the game.

You know what, let's ask the source. EA Canada... do you guys know if they have a customer service email or whatever?

I'm sure it's november, but I still think it's the 2nd, since that's what Best Buy told me, and they are not a web store, they are a chain with thousands of locations around so, if they are saying the 2nd, is because it's going to be in all their stores by the 2nd.

Anyhow, if you guys know how to get in contact with customer service in EA canada, post it here.

Thanks

you're all wrong. it's due out October 24, 2003. anyone who reserved the game later got ripped of.....:kader: just go to Fifa 2004 in games, click on information, and click on the sweetpatch webstite. in the website, it says 12 more days to go until the game is released.:rockman:

What happen to the October 24th Worldwide crap. They even made sticky-lock thread for it so no one will discuss about the date.

I'll say it again. The official fifa 2004 website in america which is a link from their easports.com site, says coming in november. Best Buy is the largest chain in america as far as selling games go. They checked their supplies and new releases and told me it would be here nov. 2nd.

October 24th is for UK and maybe Europe (ps2, xbox, gcube maybe)

November 2nd is for US (ps2, xbox, gcube maybe)

Nov. 7th is for PC in Europe (maybe US too)

That's the latest I know for release dates.

Well if you even have bought a game from best buy before, i mean when a game is first released, then you will know they dont have them when they are first out.

twice i have gone to check to see if they have the game in stores on release day and both of those times they didnt, oh yeah these were popular games, MGS2 and FFX, both of which i ended up getting them at Gamestop

So just because THEY will get THEIR shipment on the 2nd doesnt mean is the release date

EBgames told me it's being shipped on the 23rd and will be on the shelves on the 24th.

Sorry guys, but the EA site says the game is coming in November now, and not October like it did two days ago. But I still don't believe it's going to be Novemeber 2nd, as I have tried to tell everyone that games, movies, and music come out on TUESDAYS in America. The date I originally got from Media Play in Altanta was October 28, a TUESDAY.

Just keep waiting, it will eventually get here. But I predict NOV 4th.

I think that the game is either coming out on october 24, or on november 4 because the last couple of fifa games i've bought came out on a TUESDAY so I guess the game is coming out on a tuesday.
If i'm wrong don't waste your time on telling me how dumb i am because i won't read it. lol

the last 2 games i bought at Best Buy were at the store on their release dates...and both were EA Sports games (Madden 2004 & NBA Live 2003)

I was hoping that it would be a universal release date for the ps2 version as that way I could get the game in a couple of weeks. Oh well I guess it gives me more time to finish my Madden season.
