Since those of us in the New World have to wait for Sega to get good enough ports and boats to bring the game over here I thought I would put a post to track in the US who gets the game or news about release dates.
My update is that EB games changed their Pre-release ship date on their web site from 11/14 to 11/13 today (or maybe yesterday)...So I bet it shows up in stores on the 14th (or maybe the 13th if we are lucky)...
Anyone else heard when their store in the US will get it.
Massachusetts here. A local EB store took my pre-payment yesterday and promised the game on the 15th. They still had 14th as the shipment date in their system.
With CA based in the UK, it was always a sore spot with our TW friends in the UK that we in the US got the first shot at the previous TW games. So in a strange way I'm happy for our British TW brothers & sisters getting their moment in the sun dancing across the fields of Europe wreaking havoc before we do. As the first Org patron to get their hands on MTW when it came out, I can understand their glee. We'll get our shot soon enough - but obviously not soon enough! Eh, whatever, you know what I mean. :clown:
Somtimes I regret that I live on an island in the middle of the Atlantic, between the continent of Europe and America, I wish I could say I would get the best of both worlds but my preordered collectors edition hasn´t arrived and the game hasn´t shown up in stores here :shame:
Gamestop has also changed their ship date to the 13th. Yay!
This should be called North American availability dammit! :furious3: :inquisitive: :clown:
Anyway. Futurshop has 16th as their release date. Also for the first 4 days they'll have $10 off. :jumping: I'm not going to bother with EB. They won't get it till the 20th at the earliest.

Well, The title is self explanatory, I just checked the status of my preorder on gamestop.com, and they changed the shipping date on my order from the 14th to the 13th.
:beam: :beam: :beam:
This means I will be able to play the game on Tuesday (overnight) when i wake up. (work third shift, I wake up at the time the mail is delivered.
Doing a Happy dance, as my wife is staring at me laughing. :laugh4: :laugh4:

Dunno about that. After checking today they just charged for it. That tends to mean its being shiped today or tommorrow.Quote:

I agree wit the 14th people. Games in U.S. never ship on weekends just because of delivery schedules. So it seems far more likely Monday it ships, Tues it's in stores.
I am gonna check with my local store, I know a buddy who works at gamestops and they can punch a few buttons and find out the date on shelf. So just go to your local store and ask.
I saw several advertisements in the newspaper for the game being available on the 14th!!!
Best Buy said the 14th and Fry's Electronics said noon on the 14th.
So all of us N. Americans should be able to get the game in stores in 1 day
:dancing: :dancing: :dancing: :party2: :party2: :party2:
24 hours to go, and I'm beginning to sweat. The last leg of the wait is the hardest part. Must ... focus ... on work ...
best buy changed it to today im going right after i get my jeans on then im going with my mom
If anybody on the North American continent gets hold of it today, please take a moment to let the rest of us know. Useful info: City, store, time.
ahhhh cant wait...:dizzy2: :dizzy2:
the suspense is killing me here.need something to keep me busy......
*reads history books and plays BF2 all day*

California is in Australia, which is a base for Queens?Quote:

Sorry, lame attempt to use humor to relieve that nasty "how long till it's here?!?" stress.
I've been bitten so bad by the impatience bug that when I saw Cartman had shoved himself in the freezer to hibernate until the Nintindo Wii came out.... my first impression was "oh, good idea, wonder if I can fit in mine?"
In CT, Best Buy's flyer says they will have it tomorrow 11/14.
...and they better!
Yeah, I'm dieing over here. Really didn't think I'd get worked up for this TW installment months back, but the last few weeks I've been salivating.Quote:

I am getting the same story from my shops.
Should be on the shelves tomorrow.:2thumbsup:
It is just so hard waiting!:wall:
I just went to the Fred Myers up the way, it is the only place with in 40 miles that sells PC games that I know of, and they said they might have it tomarow as that is when they get the freight. I am in Oregon by the way.
There's about 10 gamestops within 5 miles of me. Called them all and they all said tomorrow. Oh well one more day, these is killing me. MUST>>>> PLAY>>>>>
My gamestop.com order status has updated again, It is officially shipped via US mail overnight and should arrive tomorrow after I wake up. (work 3rd shift so I get to sleep the hours away til the mail arrives)
:beam:
Here in Boston (massachusetts) the game has arrived at the Gamestop in the Prudential Center. I asked the guy there when it was coming in, and he said they actually have a bunch of copies in the "back room" and have not stocked them yet. Unfortunately I had to turn down his offer to buy one early, since I had no money and was only investigating out of curiosity. I'll probably get it later this week - can't play till Friday anyway.
I am in Baltimore and I just got my automated call saying mine should be available in store tomorrow afternoon (Gamestop that is)... :2thumbsup:
And I have received most of my new PC... PSU is still in California and the Graphics card is in Florida but almost there... :laugh4:
I just saw that M2TW is being distributed via Steam. So, if you want, you can download it now and play it instantly upon the coming of the 15th. Its only available in North and South America (sorry rest o' the globe). HL2 didn't take me very long to d'l, so I am very seriously considering it. The same list price applies: $49.95.
Just thought I'd let you all know.
EDIT: For those who don't know, Steam is the free distribution and gaming network/system created by Valve for the Half-Life series. It works excellently and I've not had any problems with it. The initial download is fast and easy, and you can get it from http://www.steampowered.com/.
