Is the final release date still being decided on? Which date should I believe?

Mine still says March 15th - which includes the 2 day delivery I selected - this tells me that the first batch has been sold out - and you are seeing the date for the second. Should have ordered earlier.

My order has the 14th as delivery day...I did one day shipping.

I agree with Barkhorn...you should have ordered earlier!

I am not ordering my at any site. I intend on buying in the store when it is released. I have never seen a game come out sporadically like you are suggestion. It wouldn't be cost effective for UBI to release a game like that. Games go gold, are sent for reproduction, and then they are massively reproduced to go out to all the retailers at once. They may do a second and third reproduction run if necessary several months from now. Amazon will get its main order all at once.

I doubt Silent Hunter 4 is being sent out like this. Amazon is specifically saying that this game's "Release" date is March 20, meaning it won't be available for anyone until March 20.

All of them. Each date is right for the link in the supply chain it's for. Each link's got to then release it to the next. The consumer is always the last link in the food chain. Be patient, it will come.

The new release date is definitely March 20. Amazon had the "Head's Up" on this bit of news, and was obviously the first place to post the new release date for us here in the United States/Canada.

Sorry.

Don't tell Amazon but my Pre-order Still states a delivery date of 03/15!

Let us know if you still get it. I kind of doubt you will, but who knows. I hope you do.

Good luck.
