[Sarcasm] They're just saving the best for last. [/Sarcasm]

Hopefully it will be fixed and worth buying by then.

Yep it is out in Australia. My order from EB shipped yesterday at 2am and should be at my door any hour now.

I just hope that stereoscopic vision hasn't been stuffed up by this anti-epilepsy thing. I suspect if it can break SLI there's a risk it may stuff up page flipping for stereovision as well. Hope not.

Apparently you can now activate those retail keys... Dunno if you can actually play it yet however..

Yep EB games called me today saying it's in.
The only thing is they shut 6 and i did/t get of work till 6 so i have to wait till tomorrow well it has been 6 years just 1 more day.

I'm an Aussie who pre-ordered through Steam, and it still wants me to wait one day and seven hours at this time.

They letting the euros beta test and find bugs so we in USA can have the product the way it was meant to be!! After all we are the biggest market and likely the one that will make or break it.

Was CoD released worldwide already?

And you damn aussies,games look cheap as hell there.

Here,well...

Well my copy of IL2 CoD has finally arrived (somewhat later than I expected seeing as EB games sent it - admitedly from a different state - on the 29th) but it's here now.

I haven't opened it yet, but I am somewhat surprised that the box is so big. Its the size of an A4 bit of paper and 1.5" thick. What's more its just shy of a kilo (2.2 lb) in weight.

I wonder whats inside? I was expecting a CD sized box or something but thing is enormous, biggest box I've personally ever seen a computer game delivered in.

I'd take a picture of the box but I lost connection between my camera phone and my computer when I updated from 32 bit Vista to 64 bit Win 7 a while ago.

Its funny I've waited so, so many years for this game to get here, an eternity, but now that its here instead of opening the box up I'm posting about the box on the internet.

Just had to share my joy about the box I've just recieved with others who'd understand.

They must have made a mistake with this release on steam - usually heaps more expensive here in oz!
