For those of you wondering: Yes, I'm still waiting for my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles to arrive

I just noticed that this post--"My copy of Xenoblade Chronicles has been 'despatched'"--is getting a lot of hits this week. I'm guessing that's because some of you are eagerly awaiting my impressions of this import-only Wii title?

Unfortunately, it has yet to show up on my doorstep--despite the fact that it was "despatched" over a month ago. (On Aug. 15, to be exact.) I can't really complain, though, as I knew before placing my order that The Hut Group has a history of painfully slow shipments.



That said, here's hoping my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles is still meandering its way across the ocean and hasn't been lost or otherwise "mishandled"...

I can't imagine the anticipation...

Well, after a month it kind of wanes. For the first few weeks, I eagerly anticipated our mail man's arrival each and every day. Now I'm to the point where I just think, eh, it'll get here when it gets here. I have too many games waiting to be played anyway.

I did contact the folks at sendit.com (where I ordered the game) yesterday, though, just to see if *they* think all is OK with the order. I guess we'll see...

The waiting is the worst part! For me, I'll go in and out of forgetting and remembering about orders lol. Hopefully everything is proceeding fine just on a slow boat. :P

Oh, I never forget, Marcus -- mainly because I don't order games *that* often -- but the anticipation does ebb and flow a bit :P

Anyway, yes, hopefully it's just on a slow boat. Really wish they could have offered tracking for the shipment...
