http://www.gamersgate.com/index.php?page=product&what=view&sku=DDB-CIVCOL&cat=strategy

I think that is a prett good deal I have always wanted to try europa universalis III. Is that a decent game?

[Nikolai]

It's a very good game. It has some performance issues pre-NA, the first of two XPs, though.

[Nikolai]

I'm surprised the game's not ready for download yet though. According to Firaxis' site, the release date for the game is today...

[fireforge]

Nikolai that's why I am thinking about preordering realy fast and just get Europe for just buying the game.

Gamersgate's release date is 9/26/08, friday, along with box stores in Europe.

[Nikolai]

It is? Where do you find that? I've yet to find a release date on GG, it only tells me that I still can preorder(which I've done thank you, now I'd like to get some relevant info).

[snoopy369]

It's clearly stated on the GG main page, actually... look on the right side.

[Nikolai]

I've not seen it, so it must be buried somewhere then. But it's definitely not listed on the game's product page.

[snoopy369]

Correct, it's not listed on the game's product page. It is on the main page on the 'coming soon games' list - it's on top

Torrent release date is today, protection is a joke (SecuROM). I got that stupid Gamersgate preorder, and what do i get from it? Do they really think i'll wait until 26?

P.S. Download is finished in 6 minutes 5 seconds. That's the service! Quite unlike Gamersgate one.

Gamersgate is contractually bound to hold it until local box stores have it. That's how the digital method currently works; it's why digital locations like Steam have to wait until the day after the 'release date' since box stores take a day to get it in.

Let's keep the piracy discussions out of this, please.

Wow somebody lacks elegance...

I think the word you mean is patience

Or morals.
