    Actually, your wrong. I was offered a job (which i turned down, long story) at PC World the other day, when i enquired about pay they said its by the hour. Turns out they ditched commission about a year ago because it promotes "bad sales practice" and an "unhealthy" working enviroment. They're new company focus is maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. The idea being that satisfied customers will buy more accessories (which all have a massive mark-up on them) to cover the tiny profit margin on PCs and Laptops.
    Oh, I haven't been to PC World for quite a while. Good to hear.

    I've been told by the local GAME store that on no certain terms will the game be released before November 10th. Mind you, I did order the special (box) edition...

    Picked up my copy last night on the way home - just after 5 from GAME in Bath. The guy thought twice about it but then clearly couldn't be bothered to refuse to sell it.

    Of course, I got home, loaded it and got the "d3dx9_30.dll cannot be located" message and, as my broadband is down, couldn't fix the problem. Does anyone know if d3dx9_30.dll is supposed to be included in the Direct X updates included with the game? And, if so, where abouts is the file supposed to be downloaded to?

    Still not played the thing!
    As the man said, For every complex problem there's a simple solution and it's wrong.

    It was out early in Leicester GAME. I work there myself, and got the call at around half three that everything due out today (friday) was to go on sale right then (thursday afternoon).

    I, of course, was kicking myself. I finished work three hours later, yet couldn't buy the game untill this morning as that is also my payday, and I didn't have the neccesary funds. I have no idea who broke the street date originally, but thursday evening both of the GAME stores in Leicester put it on sale, the tiny on inside debenhams may have aswell, but that hardly counts.

    More people were interested in smackdown and call of duty at the time, but I sighed and wetn and bought mine at nine this morning so I could play for a couple of hours before I started.
    I was trying to find some help in the ancient military journals of General Tacticus, who's intelligent campaigning had been so successful that he'd lent his very name to the detailed prosecution of martial endeavour, and had actually found a section headed "What To Do If One Army Occupies A Well-Fortified And Superior Ground And The Other Does Not", but since the first sentence read "Endeavour to be the one inside" I'd rather lost heart.
