Dunno profreebie. It's still listed as a preorder, but my order status says it's "partially backordered." I hope that really means outpost doesn't have a preorder code for shipping status!

Thanks - no hurry for me but glad to pick this one up.
Let's hope it's as good as the reviews say...

Still addicted to Civ III -- anyone that's played it care to describe what's different in 4?

I called and the woman said to check back next week...there is no information on when the next shipment is coming in. At least to the customer service people.

Picked my copy up today at Noon after class. (collectors edition of course)

Problems,

Soundtrack CD was out of the little rubber thing... no big deal
The Install Disc is really the play disc AND the install disc
The Tech Tree Chart is in French (although they will send you a new one in the mail)

Game works, didn't have time to play it though. (The Intro movie is choppy for some reason, it could be rendered real time)

I just checked my order. Still showing back-ordered. Did Outpost mistakenly cancel your order?

Got this today. So order is still there but they give an option for me to cancel if I want. No great hurry I will wait for it.

ordered is currently out of stock and we are unable to provide a
definite ship date at this time. However, we continually receive

Same here, but now I have a dilemma: Wait for Outpost or keep the the non-collectors version from Circuit City.

At this time, your order is still pending and will ship as soon
as the item(s) is in stock.

upsciLLion, they probably made a mistake on your account unless you ordered way late... :(

as for me, i'm not minding the wait... for now. :eek:
