North American availability

[Dr_Who_Regen#4]

Since those of us in the New World have to wait for Sega to get good enough ports and boats to bring the game over here I thought I would put a post to track in the US who gets the game or news about release dates.

My update is that EB games changed their Pre-release ship date on their web site from 11/14 to 11/13 today (or maybe yesterday)...So I bet it shows up in stores on the 14th (or maybe the 13th if we are lucky)...


Anyone else heard when their store in the US will get it.

[Slaists]

Massachusetts here. A local EB store took my pre-payment yesterday and promised the game on the 15th. They still had 14th as the shipment date in their system.

With CA based in the UK, it was always a sore spot with our TW friends in the UK that we in the US got the first shot at the previous TW games. So in a strange way I'm happy for our British TW brothers & sisters getting their moment in the sun dancing across the fields of Europe wreaking havoc before we do. As the first Org patron to get their hands on MTW when it came out, I can understand their glee. We'll get our shot soon enough - but obviously not soon enough! Eh, whatever, you know what I mean.

Somtimes I regret that I live on an island in the middle of the Atlantic, between the continent of Europe and America, I wish I could say I would get the best of both worlds but my preordered collectors edition hasn´t arrived and the game hasn´t shown up in stores here

Gamestop has also changed their ship date to the 13th. Yay!

[lars573]

This should be called North American availability dammit!

Anyway. Futurshop has 16th as their release date. Also for the first 4 days they'll have $10 off. I'm not going to bother with EB. They won't get it till the 20th at the earliest.

California is in Australia, which is a base for Queens?

Sorry, lame attempt to use humor to relieve that nasty "how long till it's here?!?" stress.

I've been bitten so bad by the impatience bug that when I saw Cartman had shoved himself in the freezer to hibernate until the Nintindo Wii came out.... my first impression was "oh, good idea, wonder if I can fit in mine?"

[Don Jacopo Caldora]

Well, The title is self explanatory, I just checked the status of my preorder on gamestop.com, and they changed the shipping date on my order from the 14th to the 13th.



This means I will be able to play the game on Tuesday (overnight) when i wake up. (work third shift, I wake up at the time the mail is delivered.

ahhhh cant wait...

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

the suspense is killing me here.need something to keep me busy......

*reads history books and plays BF2 all day*

[Lord Condormanius]

In CT, Best Buy's flyer says they will have it tomorrow 11/14.

...and they better!

[Magnificant me]

I just went to the Fred Myers up the way, it is the only place with in 40 miles that sells PC games that I know of, and they said they might have it tomarow as that is when they get the freight. I am in Oregon by the way.

[Waleed]

There's about 10 gamestops within 5 miles of me. Called them all and they all said tomorrow. Oh well one more day, these is killing me. MUST>>>> PLAY>>>>>

[Hatchet]

I live in Washington, GameStop says they are going to call me the day before they release the game, but so far no call. And its supposed to come out tommarow, or atleast thats what they told me.

[crazyviking03]

I preordered from Amazon.com, and have been told that my order is experiencing delay and will not be shipped until the 21st... I actually work at an Amazon.com Fullfilment Center, and I know that they don't do this unless something big is wrong. They might not have received the games as planned. I know Amazon pays my bills and gives me damn good health insurance, but they have till tomorrow afternoon. If I dont get an update, I am canceling my order and driving over to EB or maybe even.... shudders.... Wal Mart....

By the way, M2TW looks good enought that it has pulled me from my self imposed exile from the .org. I left over a year ago in shame when a mod I had worked very hard to get going fell apart in shambles, BUT NOW IM BACK BIATCH

[IPoseTheQuestionYouReturnTheAnswer]

I just saw that M2TW is being distributed via Steam. So, if you want, you can download it now and play it instantly upon the coming of the 15th. Its only available in North and South America (sorry rest o' the globe). HL2 didn't take me very long to d'l, so I am very seriously considering it. The same list price applies: $49.95.

I noticed this too...then someone skillfully pointed out that the game is 11GB, thus the wait of downloading it over Steam would probably cause me to inflict bodily harm on someone.

I live in Texas, went to gamestop website and typed in my zip code along with the mile radius. 200 mile radius!! And 0s all down the board under "Copies holding" (more than 50 stores on that table). I did this on the 13th. I also went to 2 gamestops and they said it'd come the 14th.

Yeah, my HL2 didn't take too long (2 hours or so...not bad considering). It'd be suicide if you had dial-up, though.

[Polemists]

I have to put this up here though most of you will have it tommorow so no one will read this thread.

I went to gamestop about 7pm today, placed a preorder. They were getting three copies of limited edition on the 14th (i guess other order of 8 was coming later). I was the third reservation :)

I feel so lucky :)

[Xy1on]

GameSpot.com says the game is still shipping to my local stores. Best Buy and WalMart.com says the game is still shipping... Can anyone tell me where I can go to get the game today?

There's already a thread on this subject, here.
