EB UK just moved their UK release date back 11 days to 28th Aug'but i phoned my local branch who still say 17th.

Why have they done this???
Look on middle right hand side.

Hach, you have just planted the seed of doubt in my mind. Target, this is one for you to confirm. Will the Mongol invasion be avaliable to buy in Britain on the 17th August?

Hach, I think that a game must be release to all members of the EU. So if some other parts of the EU doesnt have the game, they will delay it until it is ready to be release in all member state of the EU.

*NK fans the flames*

Someone on-line told me it was now due on the 24th... Gameplay still says 17th though. Surely there must be a place that confirms the real date?

Hach, Target just said that as far as the guys at his work know its the 17th. But what about what I am saying about every game must be release in all EU states at the same time. is that true, cus if it is that could cause delay if the game is not shipped to other members of EU countries.

Been phoning 4 different branches of Electronic Boutique all last week and this week every day asking if MI coming out on friday'as i suspect a shafting going by EB.UK.COM moving the date back to 24/8 last week.

So they have been saying yes defo Friday'and Mr Skinner's latest Honour day says ships for Europe 17th.

Guess what?
Just called and one of the reps now says put back to 24/8 the same as the website.I called the same shop this morning who said 17th?

Of course if this is correct Mr Skinner can say "well i only said it would ship on 17th and not be in the stores"'even though our American friends got it on the same day shipped over there.

Anyway hopefully i am wrong'but i expect to be dissapointed on Friday 17th'but have no doubt that it will be released for 24th.

Cheers and let us know Hatamoto.
The guys in EB shop will tell you'that game release can be postponed even on the Thursday.

And the EB.UK.COM websites been changed from 17/8 to 24/8 for over a week now.
So why did .com change it from the date we all know and love and want it to be'to the 24th??????
Anyway thats my first EB shop assistant now saying 24th too and backing up the website'so i can see the shafting coming and there ain't no vaseline in sight!!!

I'm the first to hope i'm wrong'but i already expect to be dissapointed on the 17th.
