Hope your right, I paid for mine last week and the guy at Gamestop said the 5th. Let's see, I know the UPS guy gets there at 11 am and the FedEx Ground guy at 1 pm, so maybe a late afternoon lunch break...

i shouldn't be looking at this thread because i'll die of jealousy when i see the first "i've got it!"s 
amazon.co.uk (i pre-ordered it there) still writes, c3c will be released on the 7th, but we all know europe has to wait at least until the 14th...

Checked my GameStop order and it now says "Processing."
What the crud is "Processing"? I didn't order a blender!
This is what I get for being in the middle of an uncivilized swamp......
Anyway I assume this means they have received their shipment are in the process of mailing out the games to those of us that ordered via the internet.

Hmmm.... Apparently, no one has it yet!
Personally, I've been to three stores here in the Pittsburgh area, and I've called three others. No dice. Three EB stores tell me "tomorrow", while another says the afternoon shipment (between 12 and 6 pm!) might have it.
The search continues.....

I'll tell you why "no one" has it. Everyone that does have it is sitting there playing it, while the rest of us suffer waiting for it. I'm going to be calling a few stores right now to see if it's in my area yet.
EDIT: Best Buy doesn't have it till the 6th. Yippy. One EB store told me to call back in 30 minutes to make sure. Another EB store said they might get anywhere from now until tomorrow. Ode to joy! I don't know of any stores that would have it since they don't.

I have called EB and FutureShop in Hamilton, Ontario and Toronto, Ontario they all say the same thing, the official release day on their computers is today but they don't expect it until tomorrow. I had walked to an EB at lunch and at that store the guy said they didnt expect it until Friday!!

Speaking of EB, for the first time I decided to pre-order from EBWorld instead of rushing around on release day to find a copy. Question is, can anyone tell me how long it will be before I can expect to see my copy?

It's funny you just signed up and you weren't able to find the game anywhere then your name is Aneurism. I like it.

Yeah I'm getting the same thing. EB, Best Buy, and Gamestop in Miami all say tomorrow. Weird, I've never had a delay on getting ANY software title... I'll keep my fingers crossed...
