Only 25 days to go....

It's very weird though i 've seen 3 versions so far
The cheapest version (which i take is the regular one)

https://www.dynabyte.nl/software.php?i=2274

€1=aprox 0,67 GBP and 1,20USD
priced €43,50 when preorderd and €49,99 after launch

http://www.nl.bol.com/is-bin/INTERSH...&lgl_Section=1

There it's priced at €54,99 Note the different boxart, so i take it's somekind of special edition?

http://www.nl.bol.com/is-bin/INTERSH...&lgl_Section=1

This one is priced at €64,99
ANd it's named M2TW Limited edition.


So are there going to be 3 different versions?
and does anybody know the difference between them?

Ive just been on the Phone too Play.com an the guy there said it was still Nov 10 ....
I am hungry for this game ,lol ;)

Need ... game ... now! *cough*

I am not a uker so I have no clue for you guys but I have heard from everywhere that counts that the U.S. date is Nov 14.

Now of course that maybe shipping date, meaning it may not be on shelves till Nov 15, however the 14th is a Tues and that's when most stores I know get there games around here so 14th sounds bout rite to me U.S. wise. So i'm 16 days away now, so geared up :)

Well in Portugal its 21%. I should be the one thats complaining lolol

Ah well, the US doesn't have a proper health care system. ANd the health insurance is pretty much unaffordable. I rather pay some more VAT's.

Anyway.


11 days to go.

Right?

It may not be the highest at 17.5% here in the UK but overall we pay over 40% taxes and that's the highest anywhere in Europe at least. By some schools of thought when a country gets over 40% tax a revolution of some sort will occur, not necessarily a radical one, but things need to change. One major question is that if we have the highest tax rate in europe yet our public services are still sub par, then where is all the money going?

From the news in the last week, expensive art centres and spending hundreds of thousands to imprison a man for a day.

Yeah, maybe getting Blunkett involved with the prison service isn't such a bad idea?(jk) xD

Hmmm.. how odd :thumbsdown: I changed the topic title and it only changes in my original post, but not anywhere else :wall:

I want this game so much...

Only 10 days to go then :idea2:

looking forward to giving this one a go, should keep me going over xmas. ~:santa:

.......... 9 days

I admit, bedwetting has become more frequent recently, it's those scary dreams in which everyone reaches the Late Middle Ages before me, and I don't have enough money to biuld the next level of castle!:sweatdrop:

Mabye they will have it in Delhi when I am there...

I can't wait!!

I think we should call this the "most horrendous tax in the world" thread.

I live in Montana, US, 0% sales tax on all but petrol. Then again, I get it at the expense of paying thosands every year to doctors, so I'm not sure which is worse.

On the other end of the spectrum, a friend in Sweden had to pay 108% tax on his annual salary three years ago. 100% in Sweden I can see, but the extra 8% is a bit much.

This wait is torture.
The wait itself isn't bad but the fact that I have nothing to do to make the time fly.
I can't go back to RTW either.

Yea I have that same feeling...First I think : ow let's play some Rtw,but then I make up my mind somehow and that results in me only want to play m2tw :2thumbsup:

9 days =O

If the store that I pre-ordered it from keeps to traditions then it is only 7-8 days for me.

The precious must be ours...

Lol.

RTW was a big title and yet I got that 1 day in advance.
"Return of the King" on DVD was a huge title and I got that 2 days in advance.

I hope for our sake, you're right dude, I wouldn't mind getting my hand on the game Tuesday

Hope ?? :inquisitive:
Is that a threat ?? :dizzy2:

Well I will see on wednesday or thursday if CDON still got it or not.

Haha.

Did you order it from CDON ??

God, those last days are starting to tear me apart. I have watched Braveheart, King Arthur AND Kingdom of Heaven. I'm reading a book regarding medieval tactics. I'm playing the Chivalry mod. All to no avail: It just won't make time fly. I'm studying, but that makes time go even slower. *sigh* And my mates just won't hear anything that even remotely refers to the medieval period.

Waiting is the hardest part.

When I woke up this morning, I thought it was the 10th. I jumped up, looked at my cellphone (my gamestore is going to send me a message once M2TW was available) and then it hit me: still 7 days to go. I dropped myself on my bed, grabbed the sheets and grabbed some extra z'hours.

The last time I was this excited was with Sword of the Stars and RTW. Gosh, 7 days ... 7!

7 days to europe?

Aye, that's what all the stores are saying. There are rumours of the 17th though (noticed that one on IGN) and even the 24th (saw that one in the latest IGN preview).

In other words, if you follow the majority (and I trust my gamestore completely), the 10th is the date.

Because SEGA isn't.
SEGA has decided Europe is the best place to start this time which is a nice change since usually the US gets it first.
Oh and 6 days:2thumbsup:

Europe is an ideal target market to begin with.

Nah.My parents are pretty loose-going when it comes to me playing video and computer games.And I don't have a nanny.They won't let me buy anything so they have something to get me for Christmas.

9 days left here...

5 days left, Europe, 5 days.

Yea,it's getting serious now for Europe :2thumbsup:

I think this might be right. Usually U.S. games ship Tues, in stores Wed, and Euro games Ship Thurs, and in stores on a Fri (at least that's my understanding.)

I'm U.S. so looking forward to game in less then ten days, congrats if Euro gets it first tho. I assume I won't hear back from Euro tho until the 14th cause they'll be to busy gaming :laugh4:

I was hoping that i be able to control myself...im going insane!!!!!
Need that game!

What's the difference? :P

It's two days less for the winner of the competition, though. Has a new one been announced, if anyone is going in Tib's place?

Hey,

5 more days for Europeans, and 9 more days for the US peope like me (lucky dogs you :) :-) ) Are you guys all ready for the release??

Almost,my medieval knight armour i ordered from ebay will arrive tomorrow,and my statue of me and King Henry V is in development,so yes,i'd say : Let it come!:clown:

lol. I read how alot of People "Ordered" a Suit of Armour. I remember once they had a auction for Poor kids and such, and they was selling a acutal Set of Armour for like 3,000-6,000 dollaros :) :)

This week should be fun. GFX card arriving, MTW2 arriving, an exam and a massive party. w00t?

I'm ready, bring it on!

Problem is, even if I get it on the 10th, I got uni to do and that night, I'm gonna see a movie. I think I'm not gonna be very focused that day. ~:)

I won't get it till it comes out on the 14th (I preordered it) so I will miss 4 days of MP,nooooo :-( :-(

3 days for me, im going to the Gold Code event:beam:

Austrians pay higher rates of taxes.... about 43%, if you add up community, state, federal taxes plus the various mandatory fees you have to pay each year.

So quit whining - you Brits have it good! ;)

I'm with the average americans, I have class that nite so prolly on a hour to start and then a late nite gamin session.

No!

I dont have my new computer yet.... im going to have to play it on my laptop... grrrrrrrrr

I'm in Canada so another 9 more days...

I can feel it coming! I'm so excited :)

the stores list say it is already out here... :/ hmmmm

Where did you find it?

I have trouble finding a store selling it in Holland

www.gamespot.nl I think.

I called the guys from Dixons and they told me that if it is released today it should be in tomorrow. So im gonna head to Dixons tomorrow and who knows.. Ill be the first one here in this forum to play it lol :D:2thumbsup:

Actually, the overall tax rate in the UK is higher under "New Labour" (i.e. old socialism with a grin) than anywhere else in Europe. It's just that our government hides it in stealth taxes and makes it look like we pay les by not upping income tax. It's just every other tax has increased and lots of new ones been introduced without anyone realising it. Back in the Feudal days, plebs had to work for 4 months of the year for their lord, then the rest was their own. In England now, we work into late July for the government. :thumbsdown:


Still... who really cares? M2TW is out on Friday and I can afford to buy and play it on a good rig... :2thumbsup:

Just got an email.

Dear Mr --------,

Order number(s): xxxxxxxxx

I am delighted to let you know that your Preorder for Medieval II: Total War will be with you shortly. The order will be despatched by your chosen delivery method in time to reach you for the morning of release.

By using the GAME 1st To Play Preorder Service you have ensured that you will be among the first people to receive Medieval II: Total War, and we are confident that you will be happy with the order, our service and our speedy delivery!

---

Should be with me by Thursday I think.

Nah... it'll be posted Thursday - you'll get it Friday.

Don't forget it's illegal for Game to sell you M2TW before the release day. So, like everyone else who's pre-ordered, you'll get it on the day of release. :beam:

Maybe. But my mate preorders off game loads and often gets them a day or two early. I also recall and Orgah in another thread saying GAME sent his Rome 1 day before release.

Also I play alot of Dawn of War, the latest expansion of which was released on Friday. I didn't preorder off game, but I know GAME, Amazon and Gameplay customers all got their games a day early (depending on when the ordered them and supply etc).

Though tbh I'm not too bothered, as long as its here on friday.

I always ask my local store to gimme a ring when they get the game.

I usually get rung 1-2 days before the specified release date

Dodgy... they're really not supposed to do that :dizzy2:

Hey - if anyone gets it early then great... first one to get it post lots of new threads, eh? :beam: :2thumbsup:
