will the civ3 limited edition be available at stores, or only in pre-orders?

I don't know, but it appears that people are pre-ordering the LE more than expected. -
I just prepaid in full for my LE today at Gamestop.com at the mall. The manager told me that most people are not paying in full in advance, but since I did that she will make sure my copy is set aside in the back and kept safe for me until I pick it up.

im sure there will be SOME available in stores....And God said "let there be light." And there was dark. And God said "Damn, I hate it when that happens." - AdmiralComment

mine is preordered at my local electronics boutique. . and i got the limited edition (how could any true civ fan get less?
)
so, yes, both the standards and limited editions will be available in stores. presumably, they'll not completely sell out, but you never know. .-connorkimbro

yeah, better be safe than sorry. depends on where you are, for europeans, i guess, there is no other way but preorder
CB has a rather sloppy customers service though. i am trying for a week already to get a confirmation of the redirection of my shipment. they are maintaining complete radio silence

Ya... Electronics Boutique is selling the LE version. I went there yesterday to have my copy reserved and they asked me which one I wanted... the regular or the LE!Of the Holy Roman Empire, this was once said:

Well who knows what is happening here. I have still not seen a supplier revise their release date yet despite what Firaxis are saying and no sign of the LE...so I am not entirely sure...Speaking of Erith:

I have no idea if BTE will be available soon after
the release in stores. Europe might get it in
spring -02. Or will we...?
Poor little me preordered BTE from Amazon.com,
but now it looks like my card has been listed
as stolen/lost.
And I can't get it back from
the bank until Wednesday.

I guess I won't have the LE. The only thing I'm sorry about is the tech tree. I'm going to make it myself and it's going to be the best tech tree on the planet. No, seriously.
Well, but I have the Championship Manager 0102 one day before the release in UK (12.10.2001). And yes, it's the original, and yes it was completely free
BTW, LaRusso, hello.

I think it is only pre-order."Oderint dum probent"Comment

Well, just to be sure I ordered 75.000 copies!
Seriously, I think it is possible that 75.000 are being pre-ordered. I pre-ordered it and I think many others did as well.
I think it is going to be a splendid game, a big improvement over a game that is already fantastic!

I agree campmajor!
I think Firaxis has not taken a light approach to updating CIV III, but rather, they've incorporated some pretty radical new design concepts that will alter the way we play the game, and I'm really looking forward to it.
We have:
1) Culture;
2) A completely new trade system;
3) Supply routes;
4) Resources that are vital to an economy;
5) A barganing table;
6) Armies and great leaders;
7) Zones of control;
8) CIV uniqueness;
9) Better graphics and sound;
10) Borders;
11) Major and minor wonders...
This is huge! I remember Jeffrey Morris saying that he is no longer a fan of radical changes for a sequel, but I think that Firaxis has come close to making this a radican departure from CIV II.
I can't wait for this game!
