My GameStop order has shipped via UPS and is in Transit. Sounds like I may have made a good decision in switching from Amazon.

Well... got all set to drive up to the mall to pick it up but called first, just as a precaution... EB (Atlantic Canada) says the Canadian release date is the 6th...
Now, I think they are full of beans but... regardless, that's the earliest I can get it. If I order it from Amazon.ca it will ship in 2 weeks. Yipp-ee
What's up with Canada and games anyway - they all get stuck in the snow somewhere?

Well, it's 5 AM where I am, and in 6 hours I could have it. Except that for the last 2 hours I haven't been able to sleep.
I AM Losing Sleep Over It. Curse you, Sid!

Just watch, UPS will screw it up and drop it off at the WalMart like they did my copy of Madden 2004...
I'll swing by the Gamestop on the way home tonight to pick up my pre-order.

Well, again today I am going to walk to the mall on my lunch break and hope like hell they have it in. If I'm so lucky that they do have it and I have the game in my hands I will have to wait an agonizing 5 hours to get home from work and play it!!

I'm assuming your flag means you're in Canada? I hope you post whether or not you got it 'cause they are telling me it's not out in Canada until tomorrow.

I work in Toronto and live in Hamilton.... I have called every EB, FutureShope and Compucentre, as well as a couple of independent shops, within a radius of either city. One girl at a FutureShop in Stoney Creek said they had it last night but sold out. I think she may have confused it with the Gold Version which was already out everywhere. All of the EB guys said nov6, several FutureShop guys said today, and the compucentre guys said today. I'm sure none of them know for sure when it will really arive, but I'd say the chances are it will come to most places in North America today... Anyway I've got to catch a flight to the Pittsburgh area to make a visit to the Century III Mall!!

EB said it would've been in after 2pm today but there's a storm out West so they aren't getting any shipments????? R they insane? If it was a blood product they'd get it here ok... 4 flakes of snow and it's a storm. You'd think they all lived in England or something.

Comparing this to Amazon's leisurely service I will have to switch vendors in the future. Of course this is probably the last PC game I'll buy for a year or so, so I guess Amazon isn't missing anything...

I got mine - EB in the Philly area. Now I have to wait until 4:30pm to leave work. 
But at least I got to glance at the manual.

Hi-ho,
You do realise you only need one copy to play, right?
Have a mouth-salivatingly, right-of-passage violatingly, intercontinentalnuclearlaunchingly civtastical day.

You make me sick. Heck you are sick. Really, you sound sick to me. You should tell your boss and go home right now to get better.
For the good of your coworkers, you wouldn't want them to catch anything.

I wish. I have a conference call at 3:30 that I can't miss, and testing coverage that has to be met. Blah, blah, blah.
At least I'm off tomorrow.

{ring}{ring}{picking up phone}Hello Boss? Yeah I'm not at work. Why you ask? Well you see I've come down with some Bubonic Plague. Yes it still exists. Don't worry though the Doc says I can come back in a couple weeks and it'll be fine. What about my work? Oh, Johan said he'd pick it up. I'll be home tending to my open sores and watching Dr. Phil. I'll try to get well soon.{hang up phone}
{pick up phone}{dial}EBGames? You got Civ3:Conquests? Yeah? Ok. I'll be right over. {hang up phone}
Sure glad I got the plague this week...
