It is GOLD! Always believe in your soul...

US release Oct 25th. What does this mean for UK/European release dates.

Same date? Week later? Will UK be sooner than rest of europe?

Is it worth ordering the game from UK to netherlands, or am I best off picking up my copy from the store when it gets here...

Games in UK almost always come out on Fridays. It will be 28th for UK, don't know about Europe, probably the same. It's only a two day wait (1 day if you pre-order with 1st class postage) people, the Americans aren't going to get hugely better at the game in that time. :-p

Hahahaha that is a good one. I just hope that I don't end up like this: :crazyeye: without any of this::sleep:

Because then work would be :mad:
 
Another good bit of news on this announcement is that it says they're shipping to North American retailers on the 25th, not just U.S. Proof that EBGames compuers were wrong. :)

Right. I'm assuming that Gone Gold is another ambiguous developers term to describe the fact that it's actually off to get burnt to CDs as opposed to the universal (apart from software developers) meaning referring to the number of sales of units it has generated.

If it's the former, then I'd best book my leave for the 25th. If it's the latter, then I'd best buy some shares in Take Two.

Ambiguous developers term? ROFL! That phrase has only been in use for the past -decade- or longer to refer to games being sent to the publisher/distributer. It's called "going gold" because typically the master code was burnt into a gold CD and sent off.

You must not have been playing PC games for very long. ;)

On topic note: Woo! Finally. :D
 
Heh. We got to it way before the fansites did. Even before the OFFICIAL site did.
 
When it says it ships on the 25th, does that mean I can go into the store on the 25th and buy it?

Depends, i would expect that that's the day they actually ship the product to stores. I would play it safe and expect it on the 26th if i were you, but yeah some places may get the game in stock on the 25th i imagine. :-)
 
Do you think the guys would mind if I brought them some beer? Anyone know what they like? Yingling would be my guess.
 
Neither CFC nor Apolyton have put the news up yet.
