	MoO3 hits the stores Put an end to popups!

MoO3 sighted in a small store in Munich, Germany (Monday 24.Feb 11:00am CET): http://www.pcfun.de
direct link to 'new releases' list: http://www.pcfun.de/site/software/nlist.htm
Its 55Euro (quite much).

They normally have the games a little earlier than other German stores because they import from US and UK, but those imports are more expansive of course.
Dunno why they got it earlier that the US stores though...

The US stores have had it a while, but are not allowed to release it till IG says so. Poor Amis

Hmm, its only 2 hours to München from here.... AHA ! But I've got a preorder from Amazon. I should (must) wait.

did you get it, or asked if you could get it?

Now, now. Stop being so eager Marko. All will become clear in time, like MoO in the rain ?

Actually I'd rather wait 1-2 days and get it for 45E instead of 55E

edit: Yes, I called them. They sell it.

I'm also waiting to get it from Amazon.de for EUR 45,99. What I find curious is that Amazon.de still gives an expected shipping date of 28 November. I'm hoping that I actually get the full English-language US version.

Boy, they are gonna love you at PC-fun, Prisma. If those people at IG spot your posting, that little store will probably be banned from receiving games before the release date in the future.

I know, don't shot the messenger.....

Small correction--I'm getting a 5 EUR discount, so I'm paying only 41 Euros.

I've been to every store in my area. No one's willing to give it up before the release date. Damn them all!

I have to wait for the amazon.de shipment as well. They've moved the release date from Feb 25th to Feb 26th a few days ago. I wonder why.

Ha! I saw MOO3 at a game store in New York last NOVEMBER! They were just empty boxes of course!

I an just envision the massive stampedes that will trample over software vendors the moment someone posts a real sighting in NA.

This is the best time of the year, listening and watching raving fans sniff out every scrap of news for when it hits the shelfs and then driving to the store come hell or high water to get the game.

Great fun

	For sale on the 25th? Increase Your PM Length

So how does this work? Can the 24-hour Wal-mart sell it to me at 12:01 a.m. tonight? May be a very unproductive day at work tomorrow......

If the release date is actually the 26th and your local Wal Mart cares, then no, but they could after midnight "tomorrow".

We get various stores around here that stay open after midnight occasionally just so they can start selling the new stuff immedately. They call them "release parties/sales"...

You may want to call before you go to Walmart that late. The ones near me don't receive electronics until Wednesday, which means they probably won't be on the shelf until that evening or the next day.

My local store told me they'd know by Tuesday the 25th if they'd have them for sale on the 26th. They usually get their shipments in the afternoon.

I don't get why you in the US have to wait till the 26th! The guy in the shop where I'll buy it told me that they'll sell it today. And according on the latest news on moo3.com there's nothing wrong about that...

From my hookups at EB, they said that there isn't actually a street date of the 26th in the US, that every place around here is SAYING the 26th because it ships today.

If a store gets their grubby little fingers on it today, expect it to be on their shelves if they have more than they need to meet up with preorder demand.

It's time to go pick up my car from the shop, they said it's fixed and won't be spraying gas all over.

I'll be able to let'cha know if it's in Syracuse in about, oh, an hour or so. }

The morons* at EB said it won't be in 'till tomorrow. Told them it was a pre-order.


Apparently the popular notion that they've had their hands on the game for a couple weeks was nonsense?





*and by morons, I mean the EB product aquisition people

For some reason Amazon's UK site is advertising the release date as March 7th... And unsurprisingly the infogrames.co.uk site contains no mention of MoO3 whatsoever! Could anyone confirm whether or not the game is available over here now, or whether we Brits are going to have to wait another two weeks because Infogrames are having trouble inserting all the extra instances of the letter "u" into the manual or something of the kind?
