GameStop To Honor Ancient Duke Nukem Pre-Orders

Posted by timothy on from the but-shouldn't-they-anyhow? dept.

doug141 writes "GameStop encourages customers who pre-ordered more than a year ago to verify their reservation with their local store. 'Provided the customer has a receipt, we will honor even those pre-orders taken long ago. At this time, we expect that all pre-order customers will receive Duke's Big Package at time of purchase, regardless of when the reservation was made.'" If you have an especially old order, though, you might want to visit the store with your original punchcard, or a daguerreotype of it.

    What then? Most of us don't even have the Saturn anymore and probably misplaced the receipt.

    I'm surprised they didn't wait until 2012 to release this game. Maybe it should be called Duke Nukem Ancient.

    They were really trying to release it before the world ended. In the words of the lead developer, "Er, how are we for time? Have I just got a min-"

    Why do you think the rapture has been delayed 5 months? Even God is waiting for this to be released.
