I havent pre-ordered the game but I join this complaining crowd too. My local store will have it someday next week. It is actually good, I can concentrate on schoolwork.
OK, bin that theory then. Come to think of it there have been some UK sightings too.Carmir said:Release date for Spain is 2 Feb too, and several preorders have arrived...but not mine...
babyblue said:Yeah you know what we all should do? Those that have already received the CE, please tell us what the date on the postmark is...so that if they're not all sent on the same date, we can all spam Flori... :rofl: No, for real, she did say all the CE's are posted on the same day, no?

Only one problem with that plan...CAS said:I pre-ordered the CE on December 12th, 2006 and I have still not received my copy. No mail delivery on Saturday here so it looks like no game until Monday at the earliest. This is a bit frustrating now. I mean I know the mail is out of Paradox's hands once it leaves them but they could have sent it sooner right. I mean two weeks early instead of one.
I realize some people would have gotten it a week and a half early but would this really have been a problem. I am sure there is a logical distrubution agreement issue that I do not know about but I am just frustrated and feel like venting.
I guess I will go buy a second copy off of Gamergate to use for the weekend. It would also be nice if those that wanted a CE could have also downloaded for free or a nominal fee to cover Gamersgate operating costs.

Yes. I know that some Londoners got it, and Ayeshtani as well (all on Monday).Owl said:OK, bin that theory then. Come to think of it there have been some UK sightings too.
Alwin von Arlt said:Flori and paradox is great, just wondering/confirming that those of us who happened to order when the website was not doing its thing... that those packages were indeed sent out, otherwise yeah the mail isn't great...
But dang montana getting it before NJ... I'm disappointed![]()
baelthazar said:You know, I ordered it on Dec. 17 too, when the glitch occured (accidentally ordered two and I was charged for 2, but I think that my friend is going to buy the extra one). Still nothing as well. However, I am also in NYC and you are in NJ, as was another person waiting. It could be the glitch, but it could also be a regional delay. Lord knows our post system here in the NE US is a little more "on alert" than others in the country.
That being said, I am still holding out hope that it will come in the mail today (either copy).

PJL said:Postmark on mine says 23rd January (so it was sent out on Tuesday) and I got it on the Friday, so pretty good considering.
Ummmm....babyblue said:Ah ha! So they didn't send all the CE's out at the same timeThen what's with the announcement before saying that they've all been sent out? Surely it's not fair to send some first then the rest...
MrT said:Ummmm....![]()
Flori actually posted that the copies were being sent out in order to have them try to arrive at their destinations on Jan 23rd. He clearly said that North American orders were shipped earlier since they would take longer to get there; and that (for example) Swedish orders wouldn't be sent until Tuesday. So...ummm...I'm kinda mystified as to where you read that announcement.
That's a tricky one because the other factor that affected the date it was shipped was whether Paradox actually had the finished product available to ship on that date. As I posted earlier in this thread (or was it another thread?) their stock didn't arrive until very recently so there may have been no way to time the delivery to be Jan 23rd for the somewhat more distant parts of the globe. I'm quite sure that they did the best they could under the circumstances.babyblue said:Ok if that's the case, I stand corrected.
But what still puzzles me is that, from Sydney, do I expect to receive it on Jan 23, or the Australian release date of Feb something?
It's so damn close to Feb now anyway, I wonder why I bother... :wacko:
