You do know that Americans don't write their dates the way Europeans do?

Europe: 14/11/06
Usa: 11/14/06

Same date.

Well, not that it matters too much, but play.com have just changed their version of the release date from 27th October to 10th November. The October one always looked fishy, but the 10th of November seems more feasible. Mind you, it'll still probably be at the end of November like Amazon have it.

Come visit the Grand Canyon or New York and leave on the 14th or 15th. Buy the game here be home to play it. How bout that Aussies?

That is an interesting idea, hmmm...

If the games released around November, that'll be perfect. One month to see how you guys like the game before I buy it to brainwash myself during the Christmas holidays.

If we're getting that close, shouldn't we have a demo by now?

November 14th is only about 6 weeks away. Anybody know how long it takes to burn off all those cd's, print the manuals, box them up, and ship them? Surely if the release date is 6 weeks away, the game must be done by now?

Depending on the publisher and the coordination between the developer, the publisher, and the various logistics involved, the time between a game 'going gold' and hitting the streets can be anywhere from a week to a month, typically.

If memory serves, STW, RTW and MTW were all a couple weeks, though that was with Activision.
