Shipping costs to NL is another $30.00 and that's a bit to much for my liking. I might find an evaluation copy somewhere prior to release in NL. ;)

Time to create a Civ IV forum!

gamestop still has it at 11/14/05 (<- my b-day). take 2 games still doesn't have a release date on their website

I'm sure I can get you this new deodorant fragrance within days Beam! I'm sure firaxis won't disapprove as long as you buy it asap. Just look at it as compensation for PTW.

About the civ4 forum, indeed. But perhaps it's a better idea to rename the "civ3" tree to "civilization". I doubt a civ3 general discussion forum will generate much traffic in the future.

Suposed free stuff with pre-order ~

I'll wait with buying until it's in the racks in the Netherlands.

Chieftess offered me to be beta tester. Better late than never. [rolleyes]

Just made a reservation for Friday (yes, the 28th!) at the e-Plaza shop in HC, Utrecht. [party] [dance] :D Price: 49,95

49:95 seems a little steep I pre-order at amazon.co.uk for £25 thats EUR37, and European release date is the 4th November.

Nice but a bit early considering I have to train (too) for our first PBEM... ;) I expect to be able to buy it somewhere early November.

It is cheaper than flying it in from the US as I did with Civ III. And I want to be well prepared for the 8th contest with ERIKK. :) [evil]

What's the official Release Date for the Netherlands?

Can't find it at CFC...

European Release is 4th November

Seems that you'd be getting it earlier than the americans... [rolleyes]

I ordered it at a local store and will get an e-mail when they have it. The salesman expected it to arrive next week between wednesday and friday. Price: €45,-.

I don't think I'll pick it up until monday 7th. I have my last exam that day. ;)

I have to get a new computer to play civ4. I haven't really decided what I'm going to get or how much I will spend but I imagine I'll be playing civ4 on a shiny new machine by xmas :)

(was always going to wait for some of you guys to buy it first and find out if the mp is up to scratch of course)

Somehow that strikes me as an excellent idea... :)

mine arrives 3pm today. it's gonna be a late night :)

I'm going to get mine on my way home. At 49$CAN, it's a great price.

Unfortunatly, wednesday is my curling night, so I'll only play a couple minutes.

Over at CFC some Germans and Swiss guys are already playing the game as we speak (with screenie proof).

Same here, though I have been already been looking.

It is in the wild. (Dutch expression maybe??).

Now, looks like no Canadian except a few from Toronto got their game. :(

Apparently they'll hit the shelves tomorow. Cant wait [jump]

Even wilder, shabba you got to hurry with the sources we discussed in Groningen coupl'weeks ago. ;)

I just checked: apparently there are more than 150 different files larger than 1GB called "Civilization IV" downloadable. [eek]

I'm not gonna download it anyway. I need to wait until my exams... http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/twitch.gif

Getting impatient?

Yes I am [:p]

Yes I am [sulk]

Not necessarily. :D

If I start playing the game with no job in sight, I'm going to get into trouble... [cry] I want to work !

Bet most of it is some bad porn. ;)

A week ago there was a great commotion on some website that there is a civ4 downloadable online. It was some bad porn indeed. But size matched.

They assured me that they are all crap. I'm telling them that I don't care and need to try each one of them!

Take 2 blew up canadian customers big time.[finger]

We've been told for 3 days we will have it tomorow 100% [shag]

Looks like they sent our version to the wrong place.

What will I do this weekend?[medic] I'm screwed.

It's probably not worth the extra 30$ to go get it in the US. (fuel + exchange rate)

Barbu - George W Bush wanted to send the navy when Afganistan was invaded, so I bet the general knowledge of geography is poor in the US.

Which may or may not cause Kabul to be flooded with Civ4 these days ;)

I'd say:

Blame Canada! :D

On a sidenote, I wonder if civ4 is really available today in Utreg (i.e. in Ze Netherlands).

Me neither, they dont even have Civ 4 mentioned on their website. OTOH Dynabyte says oct 31th on their website for €45,- Still searching for other options!

I think I heard Jesse Smith himself say somewhere that the game would be available throughout Europe today... so why would it be delayed to 31 october then? [cry]

we need it this weekend!

Delayed? The release date would've been november 4th. Why (or: how?) would they push up that date if they can't get in store in time in the US?

I am supposed to be getting my game on the 2nd (so says Amazon). It would be great if it came on the 31st, though. I have two midterms that morning (back to back, to boot, and all the way across campus, so I'll probably be running), and it sure would be nice to have a nice break that evening.

According to all shops I visited in Utrecht, the game should have been out today indeed, and the shops' suppliers told them it would be... however, for mysterious reasons, none of them have it. [mad]

What's that, is it in quarantine for the bird flu or something!? [mad][mad]

Went to Mediamarkt in Amsterdam Zuidoost (a hugh one) and they have it the 4th...

Just checked with e-plaza and it wasn't with the shipments they received today.
