	New Zealand release date put forward to Oct 31! Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Yeah! Incredibly, the release date for New Zealand (and probably Australia and other southern hemisphere places) has been put forward to Wednesday October 31st. It was going to be Novemeber 16th and I've had the change confirmed in two retail outlets. Apparently they decided that, since they have it, why hold it back? Isn't that great?

The only source I have is the word of the two retail outlets who are independent of each other and have both been given a new revised release time.

Go try http://www.gamesman.co.nz/review.asp?id=CD4896.

Then get on down to your favourite retailer and see if there's been a change over where you are.

You must feel that all your birthdays have come at once.

Of course you have to discover the Birthday Advance before you can celebrate it.

In my experience I have discovered that retailers don't know anything. For the sake of sanity, depend upon Nov 16th as the date.

They don't know anything, but when they do its usually facts from the distributer.

Which one do you think is most accurate?

I'm not sure but I think that I looked at it a few days ago and it gave the release date of November 16th so that would imply that its been changed since then. Before seeing it, I went into one of the Gamesman retail outlets and they volunteered the information without me asking that the date had been moved forward and then I went to another retail outlet who said that they were expecting it next week, so there we go. All sounds pretty legit to me.

The date has only just been changed and often it takes a while for some of the sites to be updated. Perhaps we should check them again in a few days.

I just called Harvey Norman and they said that they have ordered the game. I waited 20 minutes while he went to check the date before hanging up & i couldn't get through again.

I guess i'll have to try later.
