Well? (Time out:0 days after 09-10-2001, 17:17)
I have already pre-ordered it!
Buying it the day it hits the shelves!
Waiting to see if the reviews are good, then buying it.
Buying it when MP features are installed.
Buying it when I can afford it.
Not buying it at all.

Ive preordered the LE from America. The chances of the LE being released in stores in Australia are pretty near 0%, so preordering is the only way to go

I've pre-ordered LE from America but I think I will be buying the normal version when it hits the shops and donate it to a friend when I get the LE version. Waiting for the LE to wing its way across the Atlantic is way beyond my capability!

Well I have a about a 90% rate in polls that don't include my answer. I believe almost all polls should have a none of the above option and I plan to always do that in my future polls (the exception being that you must answer of the choice like which civ, etc?)

I *reserved* a copy at my local EB. I guess that's close to pre-ordering but I don't have to pay until the game comes in.

Yadda, yadda, yadda, you can tell that even Yin can't resist the game. Go and buy the game when it is released you tight fisted git.

And of course I am going to buy it. Is the Pope Catholic?

So he doesnt get to play the game for a few months....big deal ....

This game will be good I'm sure, but it's not going to be that different from civ2......It won't be a life changing experience or anything

Sorry about not including the "None of the above" option p....though I would put you in the pre-ordered category since you basically did pre-order it......

Pre-ordered it, but I may change my mind before I've got to actually turn over any money depending on what leaks out of Firaxis HQ between now and release. I don't see the point in waiting for patches since I'll need them no matter when I buy the game, but I could be swayed by a lack of gold reviews or a lack of some announcement on MP.

Guess I'm a don't rightly know.

The fault in your argument is that, if the game will end to be not as good as many people swear and salivate for, the voice of Yin26 will probably one of the more moderate.

Actually, too many people are loosing control of their soul and wallet knowing the fact not better than Yin...

Yin can still be wrong, of course (right, Yin?) but if the game will take off fast and high as a rocket and very good, nothing will stop Yin from buying it after a month.

It's not as he's missing the real Longevity Vaccine, is it?

I'll probably get it the day its released, but I'm taking it back if the modding tools suck, or if the AI sucks.
