Online ordering for Europeans...

I ordered my Civ3 TinCan on 30 September. I just checked the order status and here it is:

Items Ordered:
1 of: Civilization 3 Limited Edition Tin [CD-ROM]
Item Availability: 1 to be released: October 30, 2001
Expected Ship Date: Oct 31, 2001
Estimated Delivery: Nov 15, 2001 - Nov 26, 2001

It seems clear they will not be shipping it early. It should answer some questions posted on this forum. This also gives a clear idea when it arrives. How does this match up with European release dates?

If you haven't ordered yet due to incertainties, I hope this clears it up and helps you make an informed decision.

Amazon.com - They had the lowest shipping rates, 8 bucks, opposed to 35 at EB... It takes a whila as you can see, but I can always download it while I wait

That matches perfectly with the Infogrames UK version of the release date, which is 16th November. Guess they won't ship the game to a country until it's been officially released there.

No they don't. They have a list of countries they do ship to. Most of Europe is on that list. It was discussed in another thread (can't remember which one) a couple of weeks ago.

Where are you located?
