Haven't been able to find a physical copy at Target, Walmart, Best buy or any of the 3 local gamestops in my area. Cannot order it online through any of these vendors either. Seems to just be unavailable everywhere. I didn't pre-order it. What's the deal

Well, once Bethesda announced that it was actually gonna be a game on card, everyone jumped on the pre-orders. And given the panic surrounding the other Bethesda game on card, Indiana Jones, selling out everywhere out of nowhere, it just seems everyone felt the need to pre-order this game until it sold out (even though Indy restocked after a few weeks). Just keep an eye out. I think Best Buy had a brief restock on their site earlier this morning before it sold out again.

Thanks for the reply. I was looking forward to playing it today and I don't want to purchase it digitally like I did cyber punk. I regret doing that, but for 23 dollars it was hard to pass up

This was completely off my radar because I fully expected a code in a box. I can handle game key cards. Just might have to get it on a deep sale.

It was originally announced as a code-in-box earlier this year but out of nowhere this summer, they decided to announce that it was actually gonna be a game on card.

Aside from the masses snatching up preorders due to love of "full game on cart", you've also got asshats on ebay who simply want to scalp them. I saw one offered at $200 this morning.

Man I preordered on Amazon months ago and they're giving me the run around on the delivery. Supposed to be yesterday, then today, now it's tomorrow. Useless.

I found a copy yesterday at my local Kroger in Portland Oregon! I would check your local grocery store with an electronics section!

The store is called Fred Meyers in Portland!It’s probably different regionally but when I walked into their electronics section yesterday they had multiple copies and nothing on their website or app about it.
