Well we do now. This is from Ubisoft today, 15th March, after I emailed them asking delivery on my paid-for outstanding order:

"We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

The product that you ordered is a pre-order and has not yet been
released to the public. Although we do not have an estimated release
date, as soon as it is available your order will be promptly fulfilled
and you will be notified via email."

I'm cancelling the order and will buy it through some other channel when they finally stop lying to us. And don't tell me they're not or that a delivery date on my order confirmation and a release date on their website isn't a commitment. If it isn't it should be confirmed and listed as "estimated delivery date" to use their own very late words. They've had long enough to get their sh*t in one sock.

Its not hate. Its contempt.

I'm used to dealing with people and organisations that at least try to keep their promises and explain themselves if they don't. Many posters here obviously don't expect that of Ubisoft and perhaps that is based on their previous Ubisoft experience. I have never bought from them before.

Expectations of Ubisoft are obviously very low around here.

Triggaaarr, re-read the email they sent me, they do not have a release date yet. Of course that information could just be another spectacular piece of incompetence.

btw Codex what is UBI's Official Published date if it isn't what is on their website?

This isn't a moan about further delays to official launch. It has been launched. Some of us have actually paid for it. They simply weren't going to bother to tell me I wasn't going to get it when I expected to based on their own dates.

But then I guess I'm just old-fashioned.

Theres a reason I didn't pre order...

If you look at release date here http://games.1c.ru/il2_britain/ it's still a 25 march 2011. Don't panic people, all be OK, I think.

Why don't we just sit back and wait, nothing we can do anyway so why get all flustered.
Out when its out.

Let's face it,the whole marketing of this game has so far been a complete sham,I don't think I can seriously recall such a sham in the marketing of a product in all the yearsI have been buying PC games.

I refuse to get uptight about this crap as it is really is laughable,have the inmates taken over the assylum?????.....what muppets are in charge,of running this launch?????.....hehe it's amazing,truly amusing too.

I too have pre-ordered and have been given the 25th of March as release day,but to be honest,I can't see it.
