Usthal, even if they would be able to sell it to you tomorrow, you won't be able to play it until 31st because of the steam activation that only allows you to start playing on 31th of march.
However, I highly doubt you will get it from Finland in shops till 2th of April, as that is when Verkkokauppa gets it and their stock is coming straight from the importer (maahantuoja).

That's why I preordered mine straight from steam as a download version, to make sure I will be able to play it on 31st of March.

Devastat, I think you're right, although the shop I referred to is not Verkkokauppa but Pelimies. I know Verkkokauppa's info.
If Pelimies will change their info/dates when I phone them in the morning, I might reconsider and instead order a DVD from Verkkokauppa's tax free outlet on Åland Island (Finnish tax free area if value below 50 €) and get it cheaper, abt 34 € IIRC. Oh well...

The boxed edition don't use Steam activation but Solidshield. I don't know if that one is date-restricted as well.

I can't be more happy since gamesplanet updated my download date from 19/04/2011 to 30/03/2011
That's really great.

As actually expected, Pelimies did not get it today from the official Finnish importer -> postponed till next week.

They said, however, that they might get it tomorrow from another importer/distributor here in Finland, and they will let me know tomorrow noon, when they have received tomorrow's consignment from that other distributor.

I'm a bit sceptical, though, and mentally prepared to wait till next week.

Yep its quite likely they (pelimies) will get it on 2nd of April. However if the situation changes with them let me know. At least buying from Steam makes it guaranteed that I will be on the skies on 31th of March. I was happy to get Silent Hunter 3 as well with the preorder.

Just called local Finnish gameshop VPD and they said theirs are on the way and arrive today or tomorrow so I placed an order. I´m sceptical and think I´ll have to wait till next week but I´ll keep my fingers crossed.

Got updated info from Pelimies that the other Finnish importer/wholesaler also postponed delivery till next week thursday 31.March. Sort of expected this.

Pyrres, do you still think/know VPD will have it this week? They claim on their website to have it (DVD) in their tax free Åland warehouse 30.3.2011 for 36,40€ incl. postage within Finland.

I just called VPD and they said that theirs are in the mail coming to them from a finnish importcompany. So as I would understand it the games are coming in tomorrow if the mail is not slow or something. But I´m still a bit sceptical. I got my Ubi order canceled and I will be waiting for the first one comes out, Steam of local dealers and buy my copy then.

I think VPD just gave you an old standard reply without bothering to re-check the facts. Tomorrow they'll probably admit date postponed when they realize, they didn't get it. Hope my scepticism is wrong, though.

I, too, will wait and watch for the earliest opportunity, shop or download, although I'll try to avoid Steam, which I'm afraid might make modding CloD more difficult later on.
