Cheer up! Keep a good thought! It may need a patch right out of the box like PtW.

I got PtW in exactly these circumstances from a local store (and I said I wouldnt buy it until much later). I'm gonna go by there in an hour or so and see (but this time I can hold out).

I just picked one up in Boston at the Prudential Center Gamestop. They look to have at least 8 copies out on the shelves.

That's why I ordered mine with next-day delivery...sure it costs a little bit more, but I have it.

Got my copy at EB in Crossgates Mall. Colonie Center should have as well. No one else in the area seems to have (Best Buy, Walmart).

Can't wait to check it out. I'm outta here in 24 minutes. I should be playing in about an hour. Good luck to all you Civers out there.

I proessed him to check with other locations and found one in a nearby mall and got them to give it to me, so I have mine now.
I have Alcohol120 making an image right now, yahoo.

Looks like most Chicago area Gamestops have it, but most only ordered 4-8 copies.

EB seems to be the way to go. (that's where I just picked up my copy.) The rest seem to be getting it in tomorrow, with amazon a distant last, having quoted me a shipping date of the 12th or 13th.

Just before 5 PM US Central Timezone Wednesday, got an E-mail from EB Games saying it's been shipped. I took the "el cheapo" shipping option (US Postal Service), so I might still have a few days wait.

My wife called at about 5pm local time (5Nov) and they were in the process of opening the box.

Unfortunately, I won't get to play until Friday night.
