North American availability

My gamestop order is here :)

Good news, the tech tree was also included. I did not see that listed for the limited edition.

I can confirm that England does not get armored spearmen. They get Billmen instead (Drill square in a level two castle is the prereq)

Alright, screw EB. Decided they can take their delivery gauranteed date (and my deposit) and stick it.

Called up the local Best Buy, they had two copies left, put one on hold and I'm installing it now.

Anyone in the NoVa area in need, might have luck at this branch

That's the same store I went into! Damn you, Proletariat, damn you to hell!

Oh well, they must have put them out later. I'll check again when I get off of work.

[gardibolt]

According to Best Buy's website all Wisconsin stores have it in stock. I know where I'll be going after work, even though I doubt my computer can run the thing.

[Lemur]

My local GameStop didn't get it. I will now assume a lotus position and meditate on the transience of existence. I will enter into a Zen state from which I will not emerge until I can play the darn game.

Uh, everybody have fun tonight. I'll, um, be thinking of you. Good thoughts. No, really.

[Prince of the Poodles]

Poor Lemur...

The only place it is availible in the Memphis area is Best Buy. I got mine about an hour ago.

Well it doesn't say that it went out for delivery, but it's happened before where it gets delivered and then it updates, but I'm sweatin here! I took the entire day off to play this game! I was just gonna go get it from Bestbuy first thing this morning, but then it appeared that gamestop might get it to me by yesterday. By the time I realized my folly, they wouldn't cancel it. -sigh- That's what I get for impatience
I doubt that anyone has taken time from playing M2, but has anybody looked at the DVD that came with gamestop pre-orders? It looks really good.

[favedave]

I bought a copy in Glendale, CA, at Planet X.

All the other EB Store did not get it in, but will get it tomorrow. (Wed,)

[IPoseTheQuestionYouReturnTheAnswer]

Got a copy an hour ago at Gamestop. It was the last one left, haha.

Wish I had the time to dedicate to a lengthy campaign right now. Honestly, I feel a little stupid sitting here playing the demo when the retail copy is right in front me me!

[Dooz]

My preorder copy at Gamestop (Glendale, CA. Small world favedave) hasn't arrived. The guy said tomorrow. TOMORROW! I have a sinking feeling he's just too lazy to check or something. There is a silver lining however, as I have a huge midterm tomorrow, and there's no way I would have gotten any studying done had I had the game in my hands now.... still though, pretty pissed it's not here.

I hate Gamestop. I called them yesterday to check if it's in, guy tells me he can't check, it's really busy. Can you believe that? Yeesh.

[Zanderpants]

Yess!! Finally!!!

[Xy1on]

Best Buy in Dallas Texas has them on the shelf. The first game I ever bought on its release date. woot!

[Xy1on]

P.S.

I can still smell the ink on the manual. I'm glad I didnt preorder it because it seems the preorder folks are still waiting :p

[gladiator777]

Alas, I would be one of the pre-order folks. I don't think that they can't get it out as quickly as everyone wants. Our distribution system is good, but aint that good. Best Buy in peachtree city ga said they will have it tomorrow with their shipment, so will have to wait until then. Any first impressions yet?

[Dooz]

Any first impressions yet?

Look around the forums. You'd be hard pressed to find anything but first impressions.

[Xy1on]

No, Im still in class. Bought the game on the way. There is a good thread with lots of good reviews from others that have played it tho.

[AlJabberwock]

OF the 22 possible outlets that could have the game in Tucson, NOT ONE HAS IT TODAY, the 14th.

MAYBE tomorrow was the universal response. Anyone in Tucson with the game, please let me know how you came by it... other than mail.

[Slaists]

Well, my local (Hadley, Mass) EB store (where I had pre-ordered the game) did not have it. Neither did the local Best Buy store, their employees shrugging shoulders in ignorance.

But, hey... neighboring town's Best Buy store (Ingleside, Mass) had it! So, I'm off to installing the game and getting sleep deprived tonite...

P.S. Interestingly enough, EB headquarters called me twice today, asking about my experience picking up the game...

P.P.S. My girlfriend spotted several happy owners in the streets of NYC today... ;)

[AlJabberwock]

Of the 22 stores that should have receievd the game today, actually ONE NOW HAS IT as of 8pm local time, the inexplicably delayed truck for Best Buy near Tucson Mall arrived. I was trolling through availabilities and saw that one light up literally as I was scrolling through the BB stores... When I called they said they did not have it, but whoever was at the computer was apparently checking them in. I raced down there 40 minutes ago just as they put them on the shelf I got there. One guy got it ahead of me, and one woman after. With mine, that took three of the apparently whopping EIGHT they receieved in all of Tucson on release day after 8 pm!

Whoohoo! Time to install. I will come back later when I start drinking espresso!

[Redleg]

Well I promised my wife that I would let her buy it for me as a Christmas Present since she never knows what to get me, especially since my golf bag is full of clubs and I don't fish during the winter.

I will need some serious mental help by the time Christmas comes about.

Unless of course I cheat and go buy it without letting the wife and son knowing.

[AlJabberwock]

Dude!

Choose SOMETHING ELSE for the wife to buy you like a nice TIE! Tell her REALLY thats what you want for christmas...

[Lemur]

Well I promised my wife that I would let her buy it for me as a Christmas Present since she never knows what to get me, especially since my golf bag is full of clubs and I don't fish during the winter.

Aieeee! No, no, no, do not wait a month and a half before you're allowed to touch the holy of holies. Let her buy you, say, Gothic 3 for Xmas instead.

A new day dawns. Perhaps the UPS mojo will be strong today in Wisconsin.

[fuzzilogik]

Got my copy at Bestbuy last night and got a $10 gift card to boot!

[Bob the Insane]

Gamestop Baltimore still does not have my pre-order and they have no idea where they are or when they are arriving...

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

it was released in the US yesterday,if you pre-ordered it anyhow I guess... I did, but didn't have time to pick it up, so I am picking it up today :) :)

[danfda]

According to Best Buy's website all Wisconsin stores have it in stock. I know where I'll be going after work, even though I doubt my computer can run the thing.

Wewt! Now I just have to wait for class to end...

[Lemur]

My pre-order is finally in. Wisconsin has joined the world in love and joy. I'll just swing by after work ...

[Redleg]

Went into the Gamestop in the Mesquite, Texas Mall (Dallas Metroplex) to pick up the pre-ordered games for the pre-ordered WII system for my son's birthday. Had a copy of MTW2 in my hands - remembered why I was there, placed the game back on the shelf and walked out.

Damn going to have to think of a way to buy the game before Christmas.....

[Dooz]

Game is installing now. Gamestop "Limited Edition" version with awesome map and History Channel dvd. Loving life right now. I can't wait to get into it!

[drone]

Got the last box from the display at BestBuy (same one Proletariat mentioned). Limited Edition, and got a $10 gift card for free as well (something to do with new release promotions). As an added bonus, I got to laugh at the people camping out (no joke, tents and all) in line for PS3s.

[Loki]

Yes agree with those above... Picked mine up at best buy tonight in Burnsville Mn and was quite surprised at being given a $10 gift card at the register! W00t.
