Kingdoms is now released

[Antioch]

I was i Stockholm today and saw the game on the shelf in the PC-game store. Unfortunately i did not have 35 Euro to buy the game because I thought the game would be released in the end of August.

But tomorrow i will buy it

Lol it's the 25th of August, but I also thought it would be released on the 31th of August. But you're lucky though. I'm getting it on the 31th because of the pre-order I made.

I know. I was in shock when i saw the game on the shelf. What the hell.....this will be the most agonizing 18 h until the shop opens again tomorrow. But the price.....350 Kronor= 36 Euro. It is almost to much for a expantion don`t you think so

[LegionnaireX]

??Thats bizarre.

I got an email from Sega/Ca saying that is was to be released on the 28th in North America and the 31st in Europe.

[B. Ward]

gamestop here in the states says they start shipping on the 28th, i may just go in to see if it's on the shelves later...maybe i'll get lucky

[Zendjir]

36 euros for an expansion? I don't think I'll buy it unless the vanilla gameplay is significantly improved.

[Pfundner]

i agree

I am so grumpy now! Saw the boxes for Kingdoms in a big store today, but the cd's were kept in the storage and all the boxes had was a note with "This box contains no cds - Release date is 31th of August" Bah!

[Evolution]

lol i hate it when stores do that

'Game' is the worst culprit for that. they have an Entire shelf of empty cases saying "Preorder NOW!"

[Antioch]

i was there. Just looking at games and then i the newgame Shelf and it was there. I took it and read the back. All in Swedish. This cant`t be tru. But it is. Tomorrow i ...we will know.

I think my roommate saw it on shelves at a nearby store yesterday (US).

[T-wester]

dang im in denmark and my preorder now says 7 september

[Candelarius]

Here we go again. The nonsense release date debates....why do we have these threads each time a new game comes out? *sigh*

[LegionnaireX]

This doesn't make any sense. If Sega confirms a 28th and 31st release date a smell some sort of misunderstanding. How could the game already be in stores?

Breaking the releasedate often happens in little gameshops.

To Legionnaire X. Go tomorrow and check out your store mayby it is already on the shelf
To Lykaor. This was the biggest werehouse in Stockholm. Ålèns City store. it has 5 store. It is not a gameshop but a Music/DVD/ book/game shopWho is in the first level

Candelerius. You do not need to post, if all you are going to say is one big "sigh".
Feel like checking my local EB Games store tomorrow to see, if they have gotten it too early as well...

[Saibot]

Yeah it happens a lot in the smaller game stores. Officially they're not allowed to release it untill the official release date chosen by the developer/publisher. So basically if Sega or CA finds out they'll be in big trouble but it rarely happens.

[Antioch]

ooo....crap. I hope i can buy a copy tomorrow befor the store gets a phonecall from SEGA

[Evolution]

hopefully Woolworths will do what they do best an release it early up over here also (UK)
