[Tarquinius]

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

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.


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

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.

[maestro]

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.

[Monarch]

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.

[Maizel]

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

[maestro]

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

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

[Burakius]

just called the dynabyte store. They expect to get it 10 november wich is friday :(. I think the dude at Dixons didnt even understand my question lol. Friday it is I guess.

[Monarch]

I think anyone who gets it may just be playing the game 24/7, too busy to come here

[Darth Nihilus]

Stop making threads like this its not helping with the wait! Just kidding, I absolutly can't wait until it gets here

[Faenaris]

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

*pets his hammer*

Go ahead, keep bragging. Just give me an excuse to use this thing.

And by the way:

4 days left, Europe, 4 days.

[Faenaris]

Double post, please delete.

[Polemists]

Glad to see pointless violence coming out in people ahh signs of a good game :)

[Amon_Zeth]

I really hope that I can get the game a bit early. I have class all during the week, so I can't play it on Tuesday when it comes out in the states. But if I could just get it early, I could get my M2TW fix...

My Collectors Edition copy will arrive on the 20th of November.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

I pre-ordered it :-) :)

so I might get it Ethier Friday or The Weekend :-) , or Right on Tuesday worse comes to Worese :-(

[UltraWar]

Time to power up the time machine!

[Bob the Insane]

Well I can only hope that I can stretch out NWN2, Gears or War and CoD3 out for 9 days...

Don't know if I can do it but I have to try!!!

[Polemists]

Lol freakin x-box owner :P us pc folk only have one of those options, and even then only if you got the cash.

I think most can hold out with the demo, at least till weekend. For americans I dunno what there going to do mon and tues tho lol.

Thats because if you order it now it should come by Friday. It'd be kinda stupid for them to only be allowed to start taking orders on Friday.

When did you preorder? Obviously earlier you did it the quicker your order should be processed.

Exactly the same here. Never ordered from Play.com before- anyone know if this always happens between packing and posting notification?

[BlueGlow]

Just registered here and I have the same problem with Play.com as my order seems to have vanished, but I have emailed them to ask what's happened and well I hope to here from them, just hope its soon that's all!!!

Maybe they have site problems at the moment, that's my guess
