Canada screwed for release today?

If its anything like the UK the actual release date is always a day later due to store bull****. They have the "release" date as the actual date they send out or sell pre-orders. The actual shelf date where you can just walk in a buy it is always at least one day later.

How does that explain the release date for Canada being changed three times in the last week...Sept 8th ,then Sept 15th,now today they say Sept 18th...???

I am in contact with a game store and they have no clue what is going on.

What really shocks me is that this is a 505 games official forum and not a F......g word from this company...don't tell me this guy Anton hasn't seen some of these comments.

I want to know if i am wasting my time waiting for a Canadian release which may not come for a long time if at all

All it would take is a comment from the company rep who must know what is going on but hasn't got the guts to TELL US !!!

Customs. I know for a fact that some customs people can be officious little twonks, and wont let things in unless everything on the documents is 100% perfect and in triplicate.

Of course thats just speculation on my part but it happens all the time here with other goods being imported.

So I took a posters advice and went to Bellingham to buy the game. I was there and back in under 3 hours ( border waits included ). Now I have the game and I feel for my fellow ( gameless ) Canadians. $49.99 US gotta love it.

If you live near the border, call ahead and go buy one. End your pain.
