Hurray For Me!!!
Today I called Best Buy to confirm that Civ3 will be in store on Oct. 30, but they told me it was going to be released on a different day. Guess what, that day is Oct. 29! For those of you who won't be receiving the game until Oct. 30 I will be sure to come here and give all the deatails. of the game. I might be quite repetitive in my information because I'm not sure what new info has come out the past few weeks. The reason for that is because I have been trying to keep Civ3 somewhat of a surprise. Just thought I would share that with everybody.

Hmmm, I preordered my LE though Bestbuy. I do believe that I will be calling Bestbuy on Monday and asking them when my game will be shipped to me (yes, I paid the extra money for express/overnight delivery).

TechWins, I plan on calling Best Buy tomorrow morning (Monday) -let's see what mysterious date I'm given. I'm thinking, since I'm in California and you're in Arizona, our delivery dates should be the same...but I guess we'll see.

Well, I called Best Buy this morning and asked when my preorder is gonig to be shipped. Their answer: Any time now, maybe today, or it might be tomorrow. So I'm still in a holding pattern.

Not really, I called Best Buy again last night and this time they gave me the date of Oct. 31. I'm to call as soon as I get home today (in school right now) to see if it's in. By the way, thanks for the info Wittlich.

I tried a couple of EB stores in the Houston, TX (West Oaks and Baybrook malls) area. Both are saying they should get it on the 30th.

I went many places today...
And no luck. I went to Best Buy, Electronics Boutique, Toys R Us and Circuit City. No luck at any of those places. I expect EB and possibly Best Buy to have it tomorrow. I'll be leaving around 1pm my time to go to EB before I have to pick up my wife...hopefully they will have it. I'll even buy the LE if that's the only one

Has anybody on the West Coast or Southwest got the game from Best Buy yet? My local Best Buy says the game won't be there till tomorrow, but you never know.
