Any Aussies got theirs from EB yet.

Hi, I paid for mine a month ago (AU $100 at EB) for the collectors edition, I phoned them today & they still insist that it wont be released in Australia till 22nd, anyone heard anything different?

Edit: FALSE ALARM!!
Ahh I read a few days ago that some were getting theirs shipped from UBI already, but it seems this was a hoax - so just ignore this!!

I waiting for the delivery of mine. Ordered the CE version from an online store, so I'm at the mercy of the mail man!

Only jokin Booky . EBGames are bound to release on a the official date . Besides i tried it with SH3 asking if i could get it a couple of days early . He virtually said that they were at the store but looked at me like i was an idiot for even asking to have it before the release date .

Good luck getting EB Games to send out pre-orders this early. There can be a pretty sizeable fine for breaking street-date, and EB Games takes it very seriously.

When they do break street date, it's either an accident, or with the approval of the District Manager.....which ain't gonna happen (unless it's a VERY HOT title and one of their competitiors in the area breaks the street date....then you *might* get District Manager approval, but it's still unlikely).

Yes, I used to work there quite soem time ago. lol

Yeah they moved it forward to next Thursday, so now I have to decide whether to play STALKER or SHIV first. I'm guessing the regular CE box is what all countries are getting along with the regular version, the US CE is for US pre-orders and the super CE is from UBI online.
