Who's pre-orderd Civ Rev?:)

In case your wondering I have pre-orderd the 360 version.

not preordering...no need, I work at the place I'm gonna buy it at :)

me, from play.com

Me from Amazon.co.uk

Pre-ordering baffles me.

Why not just walk into a Game Crazy, Game Stop, Target, Best Buy, etc. on release day, and buy the game?

Because I am lazy and dislike stores of any type. It's easier to just have it delivered to my front door.

I did not pre-order CivRev. I was going to but it came down to either CivRev or Metal Gear Solid 4. Seeing as how MGS4 was one of the big reasons I got a PS3 it won out. Though hopefully I'll have enough spare change to pick up CivRev soon after it comes out.

How do you eat? Clothe yourself? Engage in personal hygiene?:eek:

I go to the store only to buy groceries (to eat) and on occassion to peruse the fine females. Though when you pick up women at a grocery store they tend to have alot of baggage (like kids) so I go like once a month when absolutely necessary. I get my toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deaordorant and all other essential personal hygiene products when I go for food.

Far as clothes and everything else is concerned it's generally more economical (with gas prices as they are) and more convenient to buy online. Almost all the clothes I wear have to be bought from Big and Tall (I'm a freaking giant man) so I just do the majority of all other shopping online. It's just easier and I don't have to put up with screaming babies and snotty little kids.

On a side note you can buy groceries online now, but it is pretty expensive to do if you ask me.

I pre-ordered it from Amazon for this very reason. Anything I can have delivered to my door with ease, I prefer :)

pre-order = free delivery and £5 off

No pre-order here. I fully expect being able to walk in and purchase a copy when I want. And, if I have to, I'll take out any 10 y/o in my way. :yup:

i pre ordered it from play.com too and got £10 off just found out the release dates been put as june the 13th now wow who would have thought of releasing it on Friday The 13th just hope its not a Bad day!

hell yeah baby!! did it today for the DS.

i reserved a DS copy at gamestop

Because no one goes to Target or Walmart to buy games if they can help it, Game Crazy and Game Stop sometimes either don't get copies of a game past the number of preorders(or pretend they didn't in order to get you to preorder it the next time), and because it a game is big enough, unless you preorder it you'll be hard-pressed to find a copy of it anywhere(Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Halo, GTA4 are some recent examples)

I'm not preordering because I work at the store I'll be buying it at(although if we don't get it on time, as sometimes happens, I'll have to scout out my nearest Best Buy...)

I haven't pre-ordered, but ... remember, Dennis? ;)

Why preorderintg ? :)

I'll go out and buy a DS copy as soon as I find out it's worthy of being purchased.

But I'm expecting a buggy game that you won't be able to patch.

I'm somewhat worried about this as well for the DS version. I know little about XB360s and PS3s, but I'd think Firaxis could patch them on the HD. ???

DS copy preordered. Since I work and have to make a major detour to visit a gamestore walking in on the day of release isn't an option for me, since they also often don't have the game on day of release or its sold out when I do manage to drop by. Got tired of that long ago and its generally cheaper to order it online and have it delivered on day of release or sometimes even a day earlier. So far only had two titles that were late. One two days and one a full week (that was painful :) )

Would also have gone for the Wii, but :( Hopefully it sell well and they'll do a Wii version. :goodjob:

I'm pre-ordering from Amazon this Friday. Let the good times roll!

Ah c'mon why does Europe get it 1 month early.:(

My thoughts exactly. Now if they'd release a civ-version that wouldn't require patching, that would be a revolution. I can't see how DS games could be patched, so I'm not sure if this game (the DS version, that is) is going to be worth it's money. I would pre-order it if it could be patched.

I have pre-ordered at Play.com, saving £5 with free delivery but havibg just checked the site I see that they are saying that it will be despatched on 29th August.:eek: Amazon UK are saying the same.

I was hoping to be sunbathing on a sunny beach in Menorca and civilising at the the same time on my DS, but it looks as if my plans have been scuppered.:rolleyes:, which is a bit of a bu**er.:sad:

Unless they are playing it safe and not getting our hopes up.

Amazon Uk have just put back the delivery date to

"Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (Nintendo DS)" [Video Game]
Estimated arrival date: 04/09/08 - 11/09/08

GAME have it for the same price as PLAY £24.99 + free delivery and still have a June Delivery date, but then they were the last site to put the pre-order up so I'm expecting them to change :cry:

How come every one posting in this is in Europe?

*shrug* because Europe gets the game next week(except for the DS version)
