Medieval 2 released early in UK

[The_Doctor]

I phoned the one of the GAME shops in Liverpool (there are two) and the guy said it was being released on Friday.

I checked the Tesco, Asda, HMV and Virgin Megestores websites and they all say Friday.

I ended up wandering around Plymouth (UK) today in the optimistic hopes of finding of M:TW2 for sale in one of the many shops scattered around the city centre.

Rather sadly I performed this desperate wander with military precision, planning my route so not to back track but taking in every woolworth,game,gamestation,tesco and whsmith. (and at the end a pasty shop… I was hungry!)

After a long and boring amble where everywhere i had asked had said the same thing (friday the 10th) I came to the last Game store I headed up to the counter and asked the long haired shop assistant “do you have any copies of medieval total war 2?” he pondered the question, slowly picked up his little blue folder and started flicking through.

Then to the left of his flowing golden locks in the glass case behind him…I spied none other but the holy grail! and slightly to the left of that… copies of Medieval Total War 2!. He finished flicking through his little folder and looked at me rather strangely (possibly because I was drooling at this point and that’s never very attractive at the best of times) and said “this Friday”. I quickly considered my options.

1) Wait till Friday
2) Kill him and everyone in the store in a murderous rampage take a copy of M:TW2 and get as many gaming hours in before the inevitable police shoot out and my death.

I suppose its only two days… although im still wondering if I made the right decision...

So the moral of this story is the likelihood of finding it out before Friday… slim to none at best, and don’t drool when you finally get the game, its not pretty.

Debe2233, that was torturous situation you found yourself in. I don't know what I would have done, but killing the clerk and planning to hide in a bombshelter until it all blows over does sound interesting.

And indeed, drooling is never a good idea. At least, drooling in public isn't a good idea.

Debe2233: did you try to bribe him????
