Target and Super Mario Galaxy?

I pre-ordered Super Mario Galaxy for my son from Target.com and they sent me an e-mail today informing me that they won't ship the game until December 18. I ordered it almost a month ago and I am wondering if anyone else had the same problem with Target.com.

Why in the heck would I pre-order a game if I wanted to wait for more than a month past the release date to get it? I was going to order a Wii points card as a gift from my brother-in-law from them and they wanted $24.99 for a $20 card. What the heck is up with Target.com lately? I really like their stores but I've had nothing but problems with their web site. Sorry this is a bit of a rant but I'm annoyed. What is a good online retailer for video games?

i understand the frustration, i have been dealing with the headaches as well lately. is it the holidays or the stores customer service that is causing this?
i have had good results pre-ordering from gamestop. still, i think the lesson for this is no matter if it's a store you frequent, still shop around.
my other frustration is the toys that are exclusive to one store. it makes shopping a hassle when one thing is at target and another at toys r us. by the time i have gotten everything i have wanted i over spent just in gas.
(sigh)

I feel your pain. I went online to buy a cd. it was priced 12.99. I get to the store they want 19.99 for it. the guy at the store says the prices are different online to entice a different type of audience.

Like people who shop in real life never shop online. I asked him to HONOR his own price and he wouldnt have it. Target.com sucks badly

When shopping for DS/Wii games, I always check ShopKo and Target since they have great deals at the actual store, but I've never had good experiences with the online ones, be it wal-mart or whatever.

http://www.gamestop.com is reliable and they specialize in gaming, with much better deals.

Else I'd say ebay.com, good luck!

when i went to gamestop there was a demo on their wii
then about a week later they were giving the demo with every pre-order

but the demo they gave out was modified to work on their wii only and if you played it on your wii it had the whole game!!!!

this game is really awesome it is about a 9.4/10

Amazon is really good. They have lots of good deals and the cheapest shipping. Their shipments usually arrive really quickly, too, which I like.
