The EB at Pentagon City in Arlington VA is selling them already too. Just picked one up. They got 100 units, sold 5 in first half hour (not bad, considering we're supposed to be at work and it's not supposed to sell until tomorrow).

Do they have both editions? Or just Limited Edition or Standard? Just wondering because the EB website now says the Standard will ship on 10/30, limited on 10/29.

I live in Gilbert now, I used to live in Mesa, and Best Buy is saying the game won't come in till Oct. 31, but for some reason I feel that they might be lying. So some time tonight I'm going to go down to Best Buy to see if the game is there. The reasons why I think they might be lying (no idea why they would) is because Saturday they said the game would be out Monday, Sunday morning they said the game would be out Tuesday, Sunday night they said the game would be out Wednesday, and today they say the game will be out Wednesday. Plus a bunch of other people are receiving the game. Ok so maybe the only reason why I think they are lying is just so I can play Civ3.

I live in Mesa and I just called EB (Software ETC) out in the mall in Tempe (can't think of the name right now) and they say they will have at least the LE tomorrow (didn't know about the Standard edition).

I have to say, great forun guys, keep it up!

Thanks for the info, but I will only buy the SE out of a Best Buy store. The reason for that is I already put $10 down on a preorder for SE (wanted to pre-order LE but they didn't have it at the time), and I don't want (nor do I have the money) to pay $20 more at a EB than what I will pay at Best Buy.

You're right this is a great forum. I have seen a few other forums, and they don't even quite compare to the Poly forum. Except for a few certain somebodies, who have bought the game already, aren't supplying the info/screenshots other posters want. Myself I don't want the info because I want to be surprised, but I know other people do, so....
