Releasedate Confusion²! Sorry guys....

According to the official website the UK version is released on Sep. 4th and the EU version on Sep. 30th.

As you're fluent in English I'd recommend getting the UK version as I did (the game will cost me 55 GBP including the express delivery fee but if I have it for the weekend it's worth it

)

Hehe, I just placed my order....again. Damn, I just heard that the game did not get the official German PEGI-rating (FSK) yet. Oh well...

I was highly disappointed about the 1 month delay between UK and EU release and wondered about the reason. The censorship department in Germany of course explains the delay.

I think I'll stop buying games in the store and stick to Amazon UK for any future purchase...

To add to this the US retailer Gamestop lists a ship date of Sept 2nd...

Gamestop also is giving away a promotional tshirt with the game. I have a feeling they struck a deal with 1C to get the game earlier than everyone else in the U.S.

Sorry, I guess I skipped over your post and repeated what you said in the last post. It's highly possible. That's a sure way to corner the market in the US. Why would you go to another store when you can go there and get the game early, as well as a tshirt? I will stick with Gamestop because they are generally well-informed about the games, you get tons of stuff with preorders, and their preorder system is well established. There are some games you can reserve more than a year in advance. If standing by Gamestop gets me this game a week early then so be it. This is America, everybody has the right to shop where they please and the nature of competition is that sometimes stores get an edge on other stores, then they win. In exchange, we get early games and free tshirts. Yay capitalism!
