Finally found it!

[Cirrus]

I was gonna pre-order online with EB but then they said that they don't ship from Canada so I figured there would be a huge delay... and you can't pick up in store from Canada so I called futureshop and the EB here and they said you can come and pre-pay for an in-store pickup.

So i was on my way there but stopped at Costco near my house first and saw a whole bunch of them on the shelf. I almost **** myself and jumped on it and bought 2 copies (one for my friend).

Anywyas, going to see the opening cinematic!

Hope you guys get it soon. I'll let you know how it looks.

Post a picture of yourself holding the box or receipt, otherwise, no one is going to believe you.

OR! Printscreen your desktop or a picture in the game. Then upload it to http://www.imageshack.us and put it here.

Both are new posters from Canada. I wonder if it is a prank and they just want to goad us into believing it would be out in Canada before the States. I'm not buying it.

I know I know, I am a first time poster, but I saw this and have been trying all day to find the game since I have a field job that is shut down by the rain. Anyways, I just called the Costco in Glen Burnie, MD (Baltimore area) and the lady said, "we don't have a civilization IV we have Ancient Civilization." I said is that the 4th one? she said no. So at least that costco doesn't have it, but the lady really had no idea what she is looking for.

Either way at this point your just randomly shopping for a store that happened to get its overnight shipment in the evening instead of the next morning, i.e. close to the distribution or some of them may have had same day (an EB games in Michigan would always have sameday shipping for NCAA Football)

It is a common error in believing Canada gets games after the USA. In most cases, Canada releases at the same time.

Anyone have South Park's "Blame Canada" going through their minds right now?

It's BS. Dudes can't prove nothing until tomorrow.

(but costco has a way to have different items in different stores)
