Any Civ3 Sightings in Canada?
Anyone seen Civ3 on sale anywhere in Canada? My local EB doesn't have it yet. 
PS: Edited for spelling.

Ya... I'd like to know too! I called here in Ottawa, and nothing! I hope we get lucky and get it tomorrow along with the Americans. We usually do get games the same day as they do.

I guess it really doesn't matter whether we got it today, since we'll get it tomorrow. And I'm still retired, in case you've heard otherwise.

I sure do hope so. The guy at EB wasn't too sure about it though.

Yep same story here (LOL Ottawa as well). EB says tomorrow (30th) ("call us late in the morning we'll know then.") Confirmed that BOTH LE and SE are scheduled to arrive.
I'm going to get little sleep tonite ....:P
Funny though.. when I came in I asked about Civ 3 .. As I browsed I noticed that within 10 mins about 5 other guys did the same.. gee feel sorry for the clerks .. must feel like broken record..
"Hi, Civ III iN?", "Hey man Got Civ In?", "Has Civilization 3 come?", "Let me Guess -- tomorrow?!"
The last one was me.. as Ive been in the store enuf.. :P

I'm in Vancouver and the EB guy here told me that it would be out on the 31st and it might even take a day for it to get from it ship from the warehouse to the store which would make it for Nov. 1 :\
I'm still gonna go check out the store tomorrow and hopefully it'll be out with the Americans

Hey Guys,
Post any sightings in Montreal up here as soon as you can.
I've pre-ordered the LE and it's on its way, but if I can get my hands on it a few days early I'll get a 2nd copy (don't trust the mail to be too quick these days). Civ is about the only game on the planet I'd do this for!
p.

I guess I'll call all nearby EB stores tomorrow morning.  Or I might just go and camp at the mall.

Damn it. One EB said they'll have it this afternoon. Another said tomorrow. Futureshop said sometimes this week.  I hope the first guy was right!

In Montreal
Just came back from Future Shop downtown. Got paranoid that they wouldn't have it after work so got it at lunch 
Had about a hundred copies left but they may have more in the back. Every second person there had a copy in their hands.
Beyond that got beer, smokes, civ3. Now I just have to wait for work to end.

In Toronto, too...
My local Electronics Boutique has both the LE and regular Civ III packages in. And I would be surprised if Toronto-area Future Shops don't have it, too.
Now to see whether my new 19" monitor is ready to be picked up as well...
