Release Date Confusion?

Bunsenbeaker27 · #1 08-17-2009, 08:08 PM

Sorry if I've missed a recent press announcement, but I am a little confused on when this game will be released. Originally when I pre-ordered at Gamestop is was 15th Sept. Then it was pushed forward to 8th Sept. Today I noticed on the 1C site that it is listed as the 4th of Sept which is a Fri? Maybe that is the ship date and the game doesn't have a set release date? Anyway, GS still has it listed at the 8th (LINK) and Amazon has it as the 15th (LINK). Anybody know anything about the 4th? Four days before DiRT 2 would be a little better than getting both on the 8th and having to ignore one of them for a day or two!

4th is for EU

From what I know, it's like SleepTrgt said: 4th for the EU, and from what I know, it is still scheduled for 15th of Sep. here in the US.

Thanks for the clarification on the 4th Sept date. I had no idea where it came from or what region it was refering to. Soviet Ace, check the Gamestop link. It list the release date as the 8th of September in the US. I recall that was announced sometime around the MP trailer stuff. Too bad I'll have to decide on the 8th between playing IL-2 or DiRT 2.

Too many good games all bunched together!

The site just says that the preorders are shipped on the 8th. That doesn't mean they're releasing the game on the 8th, just sending out the preorders on that date. And if you look at the game sites ie IGN, Gamespy, Gamespot, and others. They all still say Sep. 15.

Gamestop says Sept. 8th now for the U.S.

Listen. It's been done before with other games. They ship out all the pre-orders first, but don't release them until the actual release date. So when you go in on Sep 8th in the US, they'll tell you (They should) that all the pre orders are in the back. Sitting quietly in a box somewhere with the others.

Well I guess we'll see anyway.

Like your sig by the way.
