Almost forgot, was headed for bed but it has to be said: game is available for pre-load on Good old Games. Of course, there would be someone who would really appreciate it if you followed the Amazon link here on SubSim for your pre-order, but I would find myself negligent if I failed to mention what you get on GoG.
The developer, CD Projekt Red, is a sister company (I think) of that distributor. So why go there? Well, you get it DRM free for one. And you get a classic RPG for free: decided to go for Gothic 2 myself. Also, if you pay in Euros, you get $16,- store credit, since we Europeans always end up paying that much more. Netted myself Baldur's Gate 2 and Panzer Elite (that hardcore original, Steel Beasts-goes-WWII) with that. And, yes there's more, there's additional goodies on top of the normal deluxe stuff, available immediatly. Nothing too spectacular, but nice non the less.
At any rate, it's coming the 17th and I suspect it's going to hit hard.
