Oh yeah? I was told that it would be in the stores in scandinavia before X-mas. Thats didnt happen at all as it seems. But im keeping my hopes up.
AFAIK Paradox have never said the game was going to be released before christmass anywhere.Insane said:
I sure hope so. I have been counting down to that date in the back of my head for a couple of months now. I am tempted to put in for a week's vacation in early January.
Well, my Amazon pre-order (yes, I pre-ordered two copies from two different places; what of it? ) gives their "estimated shipping date" as Jan. 3, 2005. If that's true, I'll have it in my hands on the 4th (I dropped the money for overnight shipment), but I'm not holding my breath on that.

Darn it.. I ordered from the Paradox store.. will US Amazon customers.. paying less, possibly with free shipping.. get it sooner?
Damn I'm jealous and feeling rather stupid.

You won't get it any day earlier of you ordered it by Amazon...
I don't think that Paradox won't ship HoI2 preordered direct by them as first.(double negation rulle
)And also, Paradox gehts more € from the people who preordered directly by them... and you could order the cool Fan Pack by them(which of course I did)

Yea might want to be weary about amazon just because of the threads that I found from the HOI forums when HOI first came out. Lots of people were extremely upset with amazon because they did the exact same thing you did, but their order didn't ship until December 13, which was more than two weeks after the day that it was released (which is the day that they originally said they would ship it). After seeing this, most of the people tried to cancel their preorder and get it at a local store. I don't know if they did or not, but anyways I thought you just might want to know as I was planning on doing the same thing, until I read the thread.
EDIT: here is the link for the thread

I remember that well. IIRC, that was a problem caused by Strategy First, not by Amazon. Anyway, like I said, I'm not holding my breath.
I'm taking no risks. I have a pre-order through the E-butik as well as one through Amazon. We'll see which gets here first, and I know some people who would like the second copy as a belated Christmas present.

Yea, that's a good idea. I think I'll order one copy off of the E-Butik and then either order another off of amazon or call the stores and see when they *expect* to get it in.

Unless this is a "kissin' Cousin". I fail to see your problem.
Great picture, reminds me of the X-files intro; "The Truth is out there"HoloDuke said:

In the unlikely event that Amazon manages to ship first, just tell yourself that the tiny delay means 5x more money for Paradox to make a new game with instead of stuffing the pockets of execs at Amazon that did nothing to deserve it.
