Hypothetical Question
Let's just say I don't pre-order Civ3. Will I still be able to pick it up from my local computer store, or will I miss out on getting it?

Of course you can buy it!

No you will be refused the product, as the store manager will think you look 'funny'.

"This product encourages war and hatred against other nations. Get out!"
As long as you don't want the LE, you should be fine.

It's easy if you try.
In fact, this question could have been a question. It didn't even have to hypothetical.

i can just imagine the marketing genius who comes up with...
"We are budgetting for 80,000 copies. This will cover our development and publishing costs. We will not release the game until we have 80,000 pre-orders. When we have 80,000 pre-orders by January, we'll send 'em off to the duplicators, recover our costs, and then go onto the next game !"

It's very possible the game could be sold out by the time you get to the store. I placed $10.00 down and reserved a copy for me at EB.

LE should be in stores though, most games that have a LE are in stores for at least a week.

No. Just saying that it may be tricky to locate one. If you want to be relatively sure to get one, you might want to pre-order.

I live in New Orleans. Most people here have never seen a computer, so I'm pretty sure the stores will not run out of copies. (and if they do, I'll drive to Mississippi where they can't even spell computer). WHy has no one here seen a computer? Well,
They built a computer store and it sank into the swamp
THey built a second computer store and it sank into the swamp
The third burned down, fell over, and sank into the swamp.
The fourth stayed up - but then they realized that not many people here particularly liked technology.
Louisiana - third world and proud of it!
