Ebgames and Gamestop push release date back

Why did these two major retailers push the ship date back to August 11th?

Did the game ship today or not?

Totalgaming.net has pushed the release date to the 15th.

What is the deal with this?

That's what EB told me too.

But the shipping date has slid one day.

If you've ever dealt with EB in regards to Strategy First games (Europa Universalis and Victoria for example), you start to realize that small companies really get put on the backburner.

It could be out tomorrow, but it also could be next week.

Around the office we'll be checking for the game on local store shelves (much of the box-art contains work from 'yours-truly', so I'm exceptionally excited to see the final copy). EBGames said the 11th as well (in South East Michigan), so hopefully we'll be seeing it today!

I went to my local EB's and GameStop and at EB's they told me that the game isn't coming until the 12th and at Gamestop, it won't be in until the 17th. I don't know what the deal is with this.

It's purely a matter of the postal system really. How long it takes for boxes to travel from the manufacturer to a given store.

Patience my friends.

Alright Frogboy, then will you at least tell us what kind of cheat codes are on this game. The least you can do is tell us that, given the fact that we had to wait so long for this game.
