No, you have a "getting too much sleep" problem. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Let me guess, you who already have the game, are all Americans?
Too bad us Europeans have to wait a little longer. Sigh... sometimes it's a pain in the butt to live in the best country in the world. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Will Holland still be a country after Harold and Kumar get done with it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Well, I almost got it, but the stupid UPS guy didn't leave it at the apartment office like he should have, so I guess I get it tomorrow. Grrr.

Well, I'm in Canada... The Land of the Free and the home of the Brave... Beavers. And I don't have it. I should have it because the distributor is here in Canada. But I don't.
So all of you who are playing right now, I hope your bowels explode. Also be aware that the CD will self destruct in 36 hours. Enjoy it while you can. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Well...it might work differently in other (read:warmer) places, up here it's usually caused by 'frozen pipes'...

I forgot to mention the 'Anne Murray' virus. When you turn on your computer an endless rendition of 'Snowbird' will assail your ears and drive you insane.

Well, if its any consolation, I sent an email requesting the patch:


You’re one of the lucky ones to get it early! We’ll be releasing a patch for the game on Monday October 16th. Check our website then.

Well I guess one weekend of 1.0 won't kill me...

The Anne Murray though.. *shudder*

Hooray a patch. One weekend? I'll have had it for almost 2 weeks by then. Not normal to have the first patch come when the actual game is supposed to come out, and in some cases the game came out already. Wonder what people not familiar with SE will think of having to get patch as soon as they buy it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Hey! Leave 'Anne Murray' alone. I like 'Snowbird.' AND don't even think about dragging 'Olivia Newton-John' into this! You all deserve to have your CD's blow up! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rant.gif

May the force be with your patches!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

EB Games Canada was late on ordering the game, so it shouldn't be too much longer before you see it there. It's also supposed to be out in Best Buy stores for November...

I ordered it yesterday from EB Games and it shipped out last night. It is on the UPS truck and will be at my house when I get home.

I am in the USA; Indiana to be exact.

Still no luck with EB Games. I tried again today (saturday morning). It's not in store, it's not on their computer and they don't know when it will be in. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Oh well, Sid Meier's Railroads! (Oct 17th) will keep me busy for a while. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'm in Canada, and ordering from EB games would cost $65.00-$70.00 Canadian. It should be about $45.00-$50.00 Canadian, in the store....when it arrives. That's quite a saving. I will have to be patient, wait until the 16th and see what happens then. It is frustrating though.
