Overall I think the most fun to be gleaned from these forums is from the posts of those who say "Release dates are a guess", "Who knows when it'll be released" etc. I think they're saying that in an attempt to appear wise and mature but the reality is that they're just trying to spoil the fun. After all, they don't have to post anything do they?

As for Nearmiss's post, well that's just pathetic. Nearmiss created a thread that by its nature was going to attract conjecture and supposition, hasn't moderated it, then posts a childish response to a simple post providing confrmation that a major e-tailer has received an update from the publisher giving a certain release date. Disappointing really.

The release date - who knows? It'll be done when it's done and speaking personally I want it released when Oleg is happy with it and not before. A bit longer would suit me so I can save some more pennies to buy a new rig. I quite like the guessing game (and being a bit childish myself) so to the naysayers I point at you and say...

thhhhhhhhfffffffffpppppppppppppppttttttttttttttttt ttttttttt

$40 in 2006 is like $65 in today's dollars.

Wiee... almost as pre-ordering Duke Nukem Forever back in 1998 in the hope of a release.., bet that gives some value for the money if the stores are still around which you preorderd from..

$65 still sounds like a bargain - think of SB Pro PE...

Obviously, $65 is a gross exaggeration, and I hope everyone that pre-ordered gets their copy first at the very least for their efforts, but the fact 1:C has absolutely no control over the retailers in this regard (either in taking pre-orders or distributing on a first come, first served basis upon release), I hope people don't hold them responsible in the event they are still sitting and staring out the window waiting for the mailman while the rest of us are in week two of our SoW experience.

If it's released at $65, I'll say it's a bargain too, but if it's released at $40 (or whatever anyone paid for their pre-order over 4 years ago), "bargain" wouldn't be the word I'd use.

I'd really like to see a law passed preventing companies or individuals from taking pre-orders and money until said software is at least gone gold.
