The EB at Pentagon City in Arlington VA is selling them already too. Just picked one up. They got 100 units, sold 5 in first half hour (not bad, considering we're supposed to be at work and it's not supposed to sell until tomorrow).
Do they have both editions? Or just Limited Edition or Standard? Just wondering because the EB website now says the Standard will ship on 10/30, limited on 10/29.

Dammit!!!!
I just called my EB. The woman said "We have a representative here right now"...(FMK heart attack time)... and it will be on sale first thing in the morning". Sonuvabiatch!
I just called the EB here in Ottawa, Canada, and they said... not until the 31st! DOH!!!
I would kill to play that game right now!

Can you provide us with some new screens? (So that I have something to dream of.) Also: How big is a Savefile Zipped/Unzipped. Could you attach one so that I have something too look into while waiting.

ONE QUESTION-WHICH SCENARIOS ARE THERE???
I GOT IT!!!
I called Chips & Bits about my preorder---they said not till Friday! So I cancelled.
I then left my office in a flurry of papers and went across the street to the EB in the Mall of Manhattan...et voila!
It's on my desk right now!
And only 45 minutes till I get to go home!!!!
I PROMISE to try and come back tonight and post a short early impression.
Cheers.
Tutto nel mondo è burla
EB in Bethesda, MD, (at Montgomery Mall) also says they're selling it now. But some other local EBs are hanging tough until tomorrow...

You guy's are so lucky !!!
I'm happy for you guy's but I don't live in the US anymore ( I lived in Phoenix for some time) ...
I'll have to wait till it comes to Belgium, even today I went to a store to check and they could not even tell me when it would arrive
Anyway , can you guy's please post impressions if ever you take a break from playing?
BTW have fun !!!
Live long and prosper !
What are the scenarios?!
My EB in Cleveland says tomorrow. It looks like only the east coast is getting the game a day early. . .
I'm on the east coast and I have to wait till tommorow. (Miami-Dade)
Probably I'll go in the Afternoon so they time to get in their shipment.
I live in Gilbert now, I used to live in Mesa, and Best Buy is saying the game won't come in till Oct. 31, but for some reason I feel that they might be lying. So some time tonight I'm going to go down to Best Buy to see if the game is there. The reasons why I think they might be lying (no idea why they would) is because Saturday they said the game would be out Monday, Sunday morning they said the game would be out Tuesday, Sunday night they said the game would be out Wednesday, and today they say the game will be out Wednesday. Plus a bunch of other people are receiving the game. Ok so maybe the only reason why I think they are lying is just so I can play Civ3.I lived in Phoenix for some time
However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.
I live in Mesa and I just called EB (Software ETC) out in the mall in Tempe (can't think of the name right now) and they say they will have at least the LE tomorrow (didn't know about the Standard edition).Originally posted by TechWins

I have to say, great forun guys, keep it up!
Thanks for the info, but I will only buy the SE out of a Best Buy store. The reason for that is I already put $10 down on a preorder for SE (wanted to pre-order LE but they didn't have it at the time), and I don't want (nor do I have the money) to pay $20 more at a EB than what I will pay at Best Buy.I live in Mesa and I just called EB (Software ETC) out in the mall in Tempe (can't think of the name right now) and they say they will have at least the LE tomorrow (didn't know about the Standard edition).
You're right this is a great forum. I have seen a few other forums, and they don't even quite compare to the Poly forum. Except for a few certain somebodies, who have bought the game already, aren't supplying the info/screenshots other posters want. Myself I don't want the info because I want to be surprised, but I know other people do, so....I have to say, great forun guys, keep it up!
