One thing funny. Some country in Europe already's getting the game and us that are the neighboord of those americans we're still waiting. Yesterday EB Games made me come at their darn shop 3 times. The 3rd time they told me to come tomorow. I freaking hate them!

Thanks god there's a Future Shop and a Best Buy near the EB Games, but they sadly told me to come back today on the the 27th. They are better get enough games for me!

lol ya I whent to EB about 7 times in the past 2 days cause they would tell me it will be in at such and such a time then when I get there they say come back in an hour etc etc then on my finall trips for each day they tell me oh no we dont have it in come back tommorow Im so pissed off i was like YOU JUST TOLD ME ON THE PHONE YOU DID HAVE IT! ya been a bad couple days hopefully though today they will come through for me.

EBG was just jerking you around. I don't know why they'd keep telling you when they anticipate they'd get the game rather than simply wait until they actually had it in stock.

My local EBG was much better. They didn't call until they actually had the game. Although, since I was the only one that pre-ordered Civ4 from that store I suppose that it wasn't as much hassle.

Hope all my Canadian neighbors can start playing this sweet game soon--->Good Luck

Anybody from the east coast had any luck? I won't be able to afford it for awhile, but it'd be nice to know where to run to!

 

[Chopperhead]

Im pretty sure it was only in and around the larger urban centres yesterday. Toronto, Edmonton etc so It might be out in Halifax probably your best bet

 

[Chopperhead]

if anyone in BC gets it this morning plz let me know post in here or PM me.

Lets hope today's the day...
Here in Toronto, I'll be calling EB games Eaton center at 1pm and if they've got copies....it's the queen st. Streetcar to eaton center on my lunch.

Here's hoping the T dot gets the game today.

Like I said in a previous post, I called EBG yesterday and they confirmed they'll have it by 2pm in Montreal...... great news! Goodbye social life. Now, I'll do everything to be ready when it comes!

Just called a minute ago to see if they were also affected by the delay. Downtown Les Ailes said they'll have it this afternoon between noon and 4, that's good because a couple other EB Games told me they were sold out and wouldn't get another shipment until next week, but then, the guys didn't seem to really know what was really up so they might just be clueless.

 

[simms24]

Its so anoying to have to keep calling ebgames over and over to see if they have the game. I'm hoping that they ship extra to the Ailles de la mode shop because I didnt reserve with 5 dollars

Please tell me if its availible any where else near downtown montreal, I'm desperate!!!!!!!!!

So I think Canadians have to wait yet ANOTHER day... I've called all 5 EB Games in London and they've all said the same thing... they were expecting the shipment today, but when they got in this morning they didn't get anything, and now their computers show a delivery date of Oct 28. On top of that, Future Shop/Best Buy have switched their availability date from the today to tomorrow.

One guy thought it might be due to the French poster mixup. Apparently for legal purposes products entering Canada have to have French on the package... so if the US got the Canadian copies, that might explain the delay...again.

Very strange that Germany has the game already, yet they can't manage to drive a bunch of copies over the border.

If anyone has success, post!

If they don't have it this afternoon, I'm going to be REALLY pissed off...

Anyways, hope I'll see you guys at Les Ailes when we pick up our copies! I was thinking of going there at around 1:30 to see if they've received anything... if not I'll either camp in front of the store or shop and come back every 20 mins or so!

 

[simms24]

I don’t understand why Canada does not get the game the same day as the u.s?? I have to say that i detest video game retailers because of there out right insolence.

 

[Karhgath]

That's pretty much my plan too, I do have lots of shopping to do, that could be the excuse I needed, heh.

I just called that one, where I have my pre-order, and they said after 3...

I think I'm being lied to though

 

[Chopperhead]

ok then so far are people not being able to get the "regular" version that has been pushed back or is the Pre-Order not available either?

 

[simms24]

Zukatah maybe ill see you there at 1:00??? Im so fed up with this wiating im going to go there soon!!!!!

 

[Zukatah]

I'll be there at around 1:30.... but we know how to recognize ourselves!
