Fine, suit yourself. I checked with my local retailer if I could pre-order it. I couldn´t, they hadn´t got a release date yet.

Same situation here.

If he has a piece of paper from the distributor with a date on it .. I'll believe that.. what I don't believe is that all kinds of retailers or browsing all gaming sites all day to adjust release dates based on speculation.

Its more useful to check here than elsewhere, afterall some of the people here know more about the release date than any magazine or store.

they walk among us you know.

Ah yes.. I know..

but I'm still gonna check.. since even amazon offers it as a pre-order..

Besides, I don't want to destroy my carefully constructed delusion. I'll play Civ IV in September. I can feel it in my bones...

I'll be back September 30th just so I can do this:

argh, I wish I haven't started posting in this forum. Now I'm getting really juiced up for civ4. This is why I like to go in cold (or fresh- whichever term you prefer). I still haven't checked out any previews. As I've said, I don't like to do that. And I normally don't post in any forums until after the game is out. Why? Because this is what happens. Now I can't wait for the game.

[Zoid]

So the civ4 fever has finally caught you to, Dis?

[Aro]

It's epidemic

[Vince278]

It's a service we provide.

[Zoid]

More like a virus than a service

I'm just going to have to play civ3. I was planning on going into Firaxus with a gun and demanding the game, but it's so far away. Civ3 will have to tide me over until civ4 comes out.

no risk for a reseller to offer a pre-order since no charge is registered until product is shipped. It's just a list.

Therefore pre-order offers don't equate to assurances to delivering product to the consumer.

I have so many Civ3 PBEMs that I don't mind if cIV is a little late.

[OT] Civ IV back to the future

You can pay a evil cracker or a greedy insider to download to you a beta copy. That' s not legal, so I discurage you.

You can buy enough share of Firaxis or Take2 and ask to check the current level of, ermm, "project advance" for financial audit reason. Kind of. May be this 's legal enough, but I'm not a lawyer, so don't take this as a professional advice.

You can build a damn time machine, go to the future far enough to buy a "budget" and patched copy of the fullgame, expansion included, go back to september and play it 'till you are flat on the floor.

That will probably destroy any timenet of the universe, and will end in total collapse of it, while every atom cease to exist, your bones included.

The resonance of the event probably is that feeling you have today on your bones, I bet, according to Chaos Theory I red once in a book.

But everything will be fine for you, because you'd played Civ IV in september, before every other of us, while we can't have a chance anymore because of universe collapse. Pure Evil Genius.
