I called all the EBgames in the Phoenix area and they all say Wed. I went into gamespot and they said Wed. Fry's has an ad in the paper here that say's they will have it by 4PM Tues.
I think the Frys price is better.

Why do people order from amazon? If you want a GAME, go to a GAME store, not a book store. ;)


It comes with a 220 pages manual, so my manual (book) is bigger that your CDs :lol:
Just kidding. I preordered from amazon because they offered the preorder edition, whitch I don't think you'll can find in many places. Not in Walmart, I suppose. I haven't checked in gama stores, though.
 
Im just going to get it at EB Games on Wednesday because thats the earliest and closest place I could.

If you live in USA and want to get a game on day of release, the last place you want to go is AMAZON! It takes them up to 3 days to ship something once they get it.

Best Buy usually gets PC games in stores on the thursday of release week.

Gamestop/EBgames usually gets new PC games the wendesday of release week, usually within a few hours of online ordering, sometimes before sometimes after.

Usually the quickest way to get a game is to order online from Gamestop/EB. Once I got a game in the morning before any of the brick and mortar stores opened.

As of 6:27 PM Eastern time my order was processing, but it's been processing since saturday. They usually put in the shipping information at 9 or 10 pm the day it ships so perhaps tonight at 10 or Tomorrow night at 10 we will know that it's been shipped.


I hope you are right, I called gamestop this morning and they said it would ship today sometime....BUT it still says processing ....I took the day off, if it doesn't show up I'm gonna be PO'D.
 
Im just lookin over these forums trying to distract myself while I wait for EB games to call and tell me when I can pick it up. If I dont hear from them by 5 Im calling just to make sure I can pick it up tommorow that would really suck if I showed up at EB and they tell me it's not in yet :cry:
 
I can't believe I'm so worried about a dang game! So, I call my credit card company because the online view doesn't show a gamestop charge....they charged my card on Friday....whew....I'm guessing I'll have it tomorrow as plannned.....LOL....non gamers much think we're all insane (or at least some of us).
 
jez why is every one so pissed and upset about getting it on wedensday, i get maybe on friday if I am lucky and people in eurpoe dont get it intill nov. so just clam down and wait
 
I dont know what you are all complaining about, in New Zealand we wont get it till the 3rd of nov, a week & half away

Excellent! That's where I'm headed :)
 
A close look at the Fry's ad will see a disclaimer concerning availablity from the distributor...if the distributor ships late, Fry's can't deliver...
 
Amazon g'ed me and from what i heard has did it to a few others too! so i order it oct 6th and today i check it and it says 2 to 3 days shipping so i email them and ask why? they say its out of stock bla bla and i wont get it tell halloween then they got the balls to say if you want cancel it we understand. so in conclusion i went to gamestop and ordered it still the pre-order edition, and it says it will ship tomarrow and be here on Wed I even called gamestop to confer.. just lettin you know.. for the people who ordered from amazon go to gamestop quick cause the guy on the phone told me order ASAP i got mine in though ...sweeetttt....
 
3 Nov for Australia. Well that's for the capital cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, maybe Adelaide, Perth, and Hobart). If you live in Tibboburra, Woop Woop, or Bullamakanka, you'l be waiting A LOT LONGER.

Now I can fly to Los Angeles in 12 hours, clear customs in 1 hour, get to a shopping mall, get the game, get back to LAX for the 23:00 over nighter back to Sydney. Hhhhmmmmm, could be worth it. I could also bring a laptop and play the game on the flight back! Now that may be the clincher!

If you do that, you should go into the Civ Fanatics Hall of Fame. If that ain't fanatic, I don't know what is :)

I've bought many PC games - and most from Frys (it's such a happy place) since I've been (back) in PHX. They've yet to fail to have any game I want on release day. They have to put a disclaimer to cover themselves but they usually deliver.

For reasons beyond comprehension BestBuy moved their metro store to right next to BestBuy (and both are thriving) so chances are one of them will have it...and if not, there are oodles of other retailers in the metro area (where I work) or on my way home.

I anticipate no problems getting the game, just as I never have any problems getting any other hot title!

If I get lucky and Super WalMart is selling the game at midnite (that's how I and many others got WoW at the first possible moment) I'll be sure to let y'all know!
