This is the email an american customer has just received :

"We have received new release date information related to your pre-ordered video game in the order you placed on February 05 2011. The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher, and we want to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:

"IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover"
Release date: April 19 2011
Estimated arrival date: April 25 2011 - April 27 2011"

So despite the fact that the man behind the game itself posted a few rows above you that it wouldnt get delayed you keep referring to amazon etc? ....

I ordered the game at Ubisoft Canada, not the boxed version, I couldn't find the boxed version, so the indicated date is for the download version.

The fact that Amazon in the US makes a difference between a release date and an arrival date shows there probably is a mixup here...

he's referring to amazon because Amazon is referring to UBI which is the publisher for 1C... UBI has the last say as to the release date even if 1c has completed development for the 'march release'... UBI could be delaying shipment to the west for marketing reasons... its always a possibility.

You could be right as the publisher has the final say, depending when Maddox games releases the gold copy to them. Amazon etc gets the product from IC, and UBI depending on their location, which could be delayed. But UBI isn't the publisher of IC. Maddox Games is the developer, IC and UBI are publishers, Eastern and Western publishers respectively.

Just before he answered the question I gave all of the hoge- poge of dates. The first date was 25 then on US UBI it was 22 of March then spring of 2011 on US UBI. Then on Canadian UBI it was April 19. About two lines down of questions he answers 25 of March so he saw all the dates and he sure saw UBI,
