They had a preorder where you got R:TW for free. I already have it, so I wasn't interested.
E:TW is going to be great. I have some inhibitions buying it though. The game is basically the same as it's predecessors. There are the usual claims of enhanced AI, but I've read these claims for so many games that I won't believe it. Besides that and the gorgeous graphics, there's nothing to improve but unfixed bugs. Yes, the TW-series has serious issues with unit micromanagement. And a new game will have new (and probably even old) bugs.
The other thing is that I'm not done with R:TW; I haven't finished a single campaign from Barbarian Invasion (which is, I have to say, GREAT);I have only finished a couple of M2:TW campaigns (the game lacks some appeal and there are too many plagues).
The reason that I haven't played these games as much as they deserve (or as much as I want to) is treefold:
-no save option in battles. Some of these battles take quite some time (half an hour or so, longer for sieges... yes, I am Sir Pausealot). If I want to play a quick game it's just not possible with this game;
-I play too much team fortress 2;
-I like the campaign map part a lot more than the RTS-part, but halfway I discover that the campaign map isn't as good as civ4. So I go play civ4, and after some hours I discover that either I lack iron or that civ4 involves a lot of unit shuffling. I hate civ4 combat. So I just go play something else.
