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.

Hippocratic countryman!

At least I have paid full price for my Civ III BTE,
and I will get it before the standard Civ III
hits the market here in Finland.

You are eternals unsatisfied!

[Sabre2th]

Tough. Get over it.

This is a GAME. It is NOT the end of the world.

Just shut up! I'll have to wait 'till release. Well, as someone already said, I should be happy to get it 16 days after US release, than after few months

No, I'd do the same until the game arrives. I intend to buy it, and if the game isn't available, how can you be stealing the game when there is no game available to steal? Download it via warez and buy when released, that is my intention.

I just hope Firaxis are right with 30th October. Although everyone here in the shops seems totally clueless or is saying 16th November.

Hippocratic? How did doctors get involved in this?

Seriously, you Brits need to take a chill pill. US companies being US-Centric? Fancy that! At least our government isn't setting up the massively unfair trading practices of SOME countries I could mention...

Wait the 2 weeks and be grateful that this US-Centric company decided to even make CIV3 for your gaming pleasure.

Cheers.

AFAIK, yes. Maybe the box is going to be different but the content will be like in the US.

Y' know, I didn't read any of this thread. The title of the topic was just too funny though. Completely unacceptable, huh? Well, what are you gonna do about it? Not buy it? That'd be your loss, not Firaxis/Infogrames. LOL, and alotta u people wonder why I started the pessimism thread. Too much...

Im not sure if you are serious or not. Are you? Well, lets say you are.

OK then, so you are "severely irritated", and you think that it is "completely unacceptable" that you (and me also) must wait another 14 short days.

So what? Does this thread gonna change anything?

The UK release is delayed? Damn, I'll have to find some kind of import store because I'm not ordering from the US...

[drake]

Gee assur youre really doing your part to hit the americans where it hurts

Where do you think the distributors will get the game

[August Borms]

No, it's just that I don't trust ordering anything from outside the Netherlands, Germany, France, and the UK

[Crouchback]

I can live with 16 days, just. But why does it have to be a Friday so the amazon.co.uk cheap pre-order won't get here until the Tuesday or Wednesday of the next week. Why would releasing games on a Thursday be so terrible?
