Will I have to wait 6 months before it is released in NZ again?
Civ III was so popular that it took me six months to find a copy. Should I expect the same with the XP?

6 Months!?!?! What tiny little suburb did you stay in all that time, Grrr? It was almost 4 weeks from the US launch date to the NZ one, but there were copies flowing out the ears of Central Park and Gamezone staff form that day (I know, I checked twice daily for a week before the launch  ).

PURE SPECULATION
firaxis planned to show it at E3 near the end of this month (May). so the way i figure it, it'll be a month or two after that until it's released. so we're looking late july / early august.

I agree with UberKrux on this one. Firaxis must have quite bit of the XP (and Erober I'm not referring to Windows in any such way...dumba*s) done to show it off at E3. Plus the way that article was worded makes me believe that most of the XP is finished.

I got my copy on boxing day. I may have exagerrated a bit, but every store I went to had sold out every time. I ended up getting mine at the warehouse for half price. That was a relief. Someone hid it in a bargain bin.
