OK, here is what we know. Civ3 comes out in the US on the 30th. It will also be available to UK retailers from that date too. However, tradition (or something) means games are released in the UK on Fridays. The next Friday after the 30th is 2nd Nov. So hopefully Civ3 will be out then.
However, it may take time to get enough/make enough copies for the UK for then, so most Shops/Game sites suggest 16th Nov as a likely release date.
So either the 2nd or 16th of Novemeber depending on distribution.

I'm saying PREORDERING like that because I always feel PREORDERING implies you getting it in advance.
Game (EB) was calling for November the 17th when I went in.
I want it before theeeeeeeeeeen!
Are infro saying RETAIL release or whan their ETA for stockists ( i.e certain online ordering bodies ) is? |
They say for everyone, full stop. Actually, since the game is coming out on Friday 16th, I think pre-ordering may mean the game won't come till the middle of the week after while it'll be in the shops on Saturday. I've never got anything earlier from an online/mail order retailer faster than it was in the shops.

Hello all, my first post here (I am a long time Civ player though)
I work for EB in the UK, and as far asI know the release date is 16th November. Other posters were quite right to point out the UK practice of releasing games on a Friday.
I doubt we will actually get any copies sent to us before the 13th, but it has happened that we've recieved games a week or so before they are due. Unfortunetly, there is now way it will be released before the official date - the consequences are to great for the shop concered.
Hope this sheds some light on the issue.

I preordered my copy at EB a couple of weeks ago, and was quoted the 16th then.
When I got home, I took a look at the EB store on Sky Digital, and they were quoting a date somewhere around the 8th November (I forget when exactly).
Anyone in the UK near a Sky box at the moment, who could take a look?
