Striker475 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Went into EB to reserve a copy for tomorrow. Guy says 'I can give it to you today' Double checks the computer...oh wait, no, he cant. After he pulls it out and has a copy sitting the other side of the counter. Goddammit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger061 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Where are you? I picked mine up from EB Games today but I'm in Australia and our release date has always officially been the 4th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker475 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Australia. What store did you get it from? I'll go back and grab it if I can get a store that has broken the street date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger061 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 It's not a broken street date. All our games here are released on Thursdays and FM is no different. I'm on the Gold Coast and they had it on the shelves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker475 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 It's got on their website the 5th and their internal system the 5th. So I guess you got lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger061 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Strange really as every other game is released here on Thursdays even though games are released on Fridays in the UK. I guess your just unlucky to have a staff memeber who was looking specifically at the release date for that game. I'd suggest most would just put their new games out every Thursday as is standard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearce2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 What do you mean by "God Bless Steam" is it out already as I have noticed the time too unlock has disappeared? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArranoBeltza Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 What do you mean by "God Bless Steam" is it out already as I have noticed the time too unlock has disappeared? It isn't out, but I am guaranteed already to have the game on release (plus the little bonus I got for pre-ordering, and the pre-load so I can play more or less from the second the game is released). What's better is I get the achievements (yes, only a minor bonus), automatic patching, and the fact that I don't have to worry about disks and can load on multiple computers. Not to mention the fact that I was able to buy the game sitting around drinking beer, in my underwear, while eating ramen. Sure, being in the US there's no choice- I know some specialty stores that carry imported games do have FM (often later than release), but I love Steam and probably would have gotten the game that way regardless.
