Also check out the release date Play.com suggests:

27/10/2006

RRP: £35

(Though because play.com is based in the Channel Islands, you dont have to pay VAT so it is quite alot cheaper.)

[Dutch_guy]

thanks for the link.

ALso nice that there's a release date, though the people who won't pre-order 'll probably have to wait another week or so right ?

:balloon2:

[Antiochius]

yeah, i have read in a magazin that it will come out in fall 2006.

Nah, the release data will be universal. If anything, I find pre-orders arrive a little later than if I just pop down to the local store on the day.

The release dates of Internet Stores are rarely correct. Amazon had Rome pegged at June 2004:laugh4:

And it was released September/October, that's not that far off...

But it's a long time when you're waiting for a game.. :wall:

[Hôjô Ujimara]

I remember when RTW was announced for Fall 03.... yeah, like THAT was going to happen. >_>

But seriously, by what I've heard and seen from so far, this release date may happen. Though I am sounding a lot like I did 3 years ago, which is scaring me.

Woot for play.com though. They're usually accurate with release dates and delivery dates.

Hence me saying: Play.coms SUGGESTEd release date :embarassed:

[Templar Knight]

It beats me why they gave an actual date instead of autumn/winter

[JR-]

oh well, it does at least look like it really will be released in 06 which is a good thing.

Pre-Ordered. ~D

I can't keep away from TW games. Especially when MTW2 promises a huge amount of modding for me. :grin:

[Barbarossa82]

Amazon UK says it WILL be released on July 1 :dizzy2:
A bit optimistic maybe, but we can hope!

Amazon pre-order page (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000ENN9AG/qid=1145790812/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-2186813-3961250)

[Woad Warrior]

July 1st would be nice - start of Summer Holidays:2thumbsup: :balloon2:

[Servius]

Not meaning to be sarcastic, but why is the SRP so low? $35? RTW was $50 wasn't it?

Nevermind, just noticed it's in pounds, which works out to like $56 US. Feh. Even the pre-order deal is like $40. For me at least, that's not low enough to buy sight-unseen, especially after RTW.

[Furious Mental]

Because it's made in Australia, our currency being, apparently, worth little compared to the British pound.

[Hatchet]

How come when I look at the non uk (regular .com) I cannot find MTW2, is it because its releasing in the UK first?

[Lentonius]

I personally dont mind waiting for a game on the basis that the extra time will help in increasing the quality of the game.
I predict september, all Totalwar games seem to be released this time, and this must mean the developing schedules are routine for CA...

[ShadesWolf]

The Sega website says release date:Winter 2006

[TB666]

Well October seems like a date that is more reliable.
July is way too soon and is a time when many people are actually outside instead of playing games.
But october is closer to christmas and makes more sense.
Unfortunately I won't pre-order. While I love the TW games and MTW2 looks wonderful, I'm right now out of cash and have no idea when I will get some.

[edyzmedieval]

Ask your parents or somethin....

[Manstein]

I might pick it up during Christmas. When stores start marking down the prices temporarily. I almost never buy a game at around the time it comes out. I didn't buy Rome until Christmas 2004 either, it was 20 percent off when I brought it.
