A note on EB releases
I stopped by my local EB (canada) and they had an interesting info. The BTE is to be released Nov 1 while the Regular/Lite edition is on the 31st of October.
Rats.. have to wait one more day.. grrr. Hopefully they will decide to pack it all in one ship.

I've signed up for the Limited Edition at my local EB in Toronto; I even put a sizable chunk of money down as a deposit (it was a credit for returning Pool of Radiance... what a dog's breakfast.  )
Anyhow, I've already told them that I'll take whatever edition comes in the door first. If the LE isn't there, but the cardboard box edition is, that's what I'll buy. I'm not so enamoured of the cookie tin and extra junk that I'll wait one extra day for it, not if I can be playing the game right away.

Why one day late? Is it a Firaxis/Publisher thing or an EB thing? Either way it sucks. I wonder if this release policy is only in the Great White North or the states too?

The EB in Calgary is still selling both editions (the regular for an amazing $49.99 Cdn!). Funny Lee, I was in there this afternoon doing the exact same thing. PoR for Civ.

If they are pulling BTE/LE out of the stores in canada/Great white north. I'm going to be one P'OD Canuck!!! :P
I'm hoping the vancouver store might have meant that they had used up all their LE/BTE on in-store pre-orders (holds) and had no "shelf copies" left. Thant's My Civ prayer of the day. Considering most of us Pre-ordered ages weeks ago.. Long before Chaos ensued. I think I should we should get the BTE!!!
I wouldn't really care as much if it wanst for the tech tree-- Ive had the old CiV II one grace my wall for years (heh and need something to cover that unsightly "white area"

Price:$59.99
Ships on 10/29/2001
The LE edition is now posted on EB website with a 10/29 ship date. Regular still has the 10/31 ship date.
I'll be calling the store today to see if they can confirm this.
