I thought EA was the source of all evil since religious leaders can no longer point fingers at rock and roll and hollywood. Everyone knows that video games are the latest evil phad!

Thinking of the fact that I have to wait till 3 nov!! 
Because I live in the Netherlands, I hope my shop has the copy earlier than that time.

I wonder if anyone got that free Amazon shipping. With Civ, it'll probably postpone shipping about a week with so many other orders. Back of the line.
This is sooo bloody unfair
Sorry for Firaxis but I don't call that a well planned release. I'd rather say they suck on this issue. Hope the last extra days of testing (which I hope explain the 4th nov release everywhere but in US) have improved the quality of the game.

I havn't heard anything about stability problems, which is a good thing.
First off I just want to say that if I had to get Civ IV a whole week or more later I would absolutely be furious. It's outrageous that things have turned out so biased towards the people who live in America & Canada vs. the rest of the world. It would truely be excellent if everyone got the game at the same time. Perhaps if they had gone gold earlier they would have gotten their shipments to Europe for faster delivery,
however, as you point out, those extra days of testing/bug hunting...
SHOULD have been worth it!
Let's pray it was.

Arrghh!
Now people... I don't believe that they intentional slighted the rest of the world outside of North America... I believe it's probably just a logistics issue... Also, are the games for Europe and elsewhere translated into your native tongue?? If so that would clearly explain some of the delay. Also, the logistics involved are obvious to me. Firaxis is in Maryland. Also, if they only use one company to print the copies of the game, maybe they have a limited manufacturing capacity that only allows them to ship enough games for one or two markets at a time depending on demand. Not to mention we damn Americans had to pre-order to get the manual whereas Europe is automatically getting it regardless of their purchase time(or so I have read everywhere). Bottom line, cut the guys a break. If I was waiting for a European game to ship to the US I would simply order it from the UK and hope that International mail was expediant with my rushed order. In closing, I do believe that this game will be well worth the wait! Thank you, and good day!

Agreed, one week isn't a big deal considering the things that needs to be done, logisitics, etc. And since I've preordered my copy from the US with airmail I'm not that worried.

Guys... You can't possibly be mad at Firaxis for not getting the game as early as others get it. First off, Firaxis has NOTHING to do with the release, thats all handled by their publisher, Take 2. Second of all, Its nateral that some places will get it earliar then others, simply because their closer to the place they ship the copies out from (Which probably isn't maryland, btw). What do you want them to do, wait for EVERYONE to get it (And i mean everyone, people in europe, austrialia, etc.) before they start selling the game? Then no one gets it early...
Anyways... Confirmed shipping monday... That means it ships out monday... But does it COME out monday? i'm confused...

As far as I can tell, no... it's only allowed to be sold after the release date, but doesn't mean it can't happyen. I believe technically the 25th is the first day you should be able to get it...
