Now are we talking US release, Europe release, wherever it's out first release...?

Edit: In any case, I'll take November 8, 2005.

It's going to have to be first release, which is likely to be the US release.

November 8, 2005 is my guess. Aren't all games released on Tuesdays or is that only dvds/cds?

Seconded. I'd be perfectly fine with 2006. Perhaps June. Or September. Or November. Or whatever, if only it is a finished product. I will gladly pay twice the usual price for a game. Or thrice.

Unfortunately this is wishful thinking. The release date will be November 22nd, 2005. It will be rushed. It will be buggy. The first patch will be out before christmas and fix about 15% of the issues. Happy Holidays!

Dear EBgames.com Customer,

The publisher did not provide us with a specific date so this is our best estimate only and should not be considered firm. We will update this date again as we receive new information. As always, EBgames.com will not charge your credit card until we ship your order.

To check the status of your order, please visit https://www.ebgames.com/ebx/myaccou...tus/default.asp

About release dates:

EBgames.com works tirelessly with game publishers to ensure accurate release dates on our site. Occasionally, publishers decide to delay production to improve quality or add new features. Sometimes dates move forward; more often they move back and frequently they get changed more than once.

If a game is scheduled for release far in the future, the publisher may not even give us a date. In those cases we rely on the collective wisdom of our buying staff to estimate a date based on their knowledge of the industry and the publisher's history.

We guarantee that we will always post the best information provided by publishers. We know that you want that hot new game yesterday and we want to be the company that gets it to you quicker than anyone else.



The latest from EB games.

I am choosing February 1, 2006.

Admittedly, this is out of a hope that they will spend the extra three months fine-tuning the game and making the AI better.

I guess you really, really hated Civ1 and Civ2 and SMAC/X.

I guess Nov 1, or if that's taken Nov 15.
