16th Nov release date completely unnaceptable !!

[The Viceroy]

Am I alone in my severe irritation at being forced to wait for CIV3 .. there really is no excuse for this. I can certainly understand a 1 week distribution cycle, but 16 days !!!

As always, were forced to put up with this shabby arrangement

Anybody out there agree ??

[drake]

I probably wont buy civ3 until its on the discount rack, so it doesnt bother me

[Deathwalker]

I rather get it on the 30th then have to wait until the 16 next Month But in the end what can we do

[Wexu]

It could be much worse. How does "couple of months" sound compared to two weeks?

Well anyway, I'm going to get the warez version first at 30th October and I'll buy it when it arrives at stores here at 16th November.

[Tassadar]

Yes, of course I agree.

Up until about a year ago the discrepancy caused by the Atlantic became shorter and shorter, for a lot of games in Sweden/Scandinavia it was down to about 2 days, but unfortunately this gap has widened lately and seems to grow as time goes by, and now 16 days!! That's a definite bummer!

Im moving house this weekend, and I was really looking forward to waiting 1 week max and getting Civ3 (New House, New Baby right !!)..

Now I have to sit here, and read how wonderful it is from everybody and drool ....

Now I would never wish a bug on anybody but I guess we will get advanced notice of these things .... still, I get really mad at how US Centric some companies are ..

I think that the problem is that they announced the release in the UK for the 30th as in the USA, that at least left a door opened for the Europeans to pre-order in Amazon.UK with express delivery, but now I have to wait till the game arrives form the UK at least three days more while the game is the shelves of the gameshops all over Europe. That is not fair

You're absolutely right! It's a bloody scandal!

How DARE they release it without MP! They should postpone the release until it's finished!

[Sarxis]

I keep hearing that our UK brethren will be getting CivIII the same as us. So this isn't true then?

[drake]

A US company being US Centric huh?

Shame on them!
(Its a lot easier to ship in ones infastructure)

They'll get there soon enough...don't soil your drawers

[Rince]

I still can't decide whether or not to spoil the experience by downloading the warez version. Buying the game will sure be a great experience but playing it for the first time right afterwards will make that particular day a very happy one. So maybe i can wait 16 days, but visiting this board will be very hard.

15 days

So there will be 15 days between US and Europe release.
Do you know if we will get exactly the same version than in US, I mean in English?

Pants Soiled and sent to the distributors

Oh well, look at it another way, at least this gives us Brit Civvers 16 more days of having a Social/Family/Work life before it all gets totally overtaken by the all-encompassing civ addiction.


You know it will happen!

With the current crisis of confidence in air travel, do your bit for your national airline and fly to America at these crazily discounted prices. Get a 1-2 day break in the city of your choice then fly back clutching your very own copy of Civ3. Release date problems solved

The initial UK release is apparently 100% identical to the US version, with no customiSation or coloUr changes. That may even mean we get the US box, not the reputed European box.
