    What game has EVER been released on New Year's Eve.

    I'm sorry but that is so very unlikely.

    thats for the pre orders, this is a commercial for pre orders and thats the date it would be available for then. this game will be available at around November or early December for Xmas and new years shopping spree.

    Preorders generally come out the same day for everyone else...

    "Free with Preorders
    Out Sep 3rd".

    Generally "Preorders" don't come "Out".

    so whats your point? pre order becomes available on 3rd of September for all those interested to purchase before the game's actual release.

    official preorders offered in steam instead of amazon and other similar sites put up preorders all the time but it is not the manufacturer that actually makes it available hence why this pre order bonus was never mentioned until now.
    until the pre order is not on the official site or steam then it is not official.

    What is the functional difference between a quote,unquote "official" pre-order from Steam and one from Amazon or Game or whoever, from the customers point of view?

    His point is if it was available for pre-order beginning 3 September that's what it would say.

    Just in case anyone is under any illusions about the accuracy of release dates that don't come from the developers.

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...e-1-march-2013

    That's right, back in Mid-2012, Zavvi.com was claiming March 1st.

    So, it turns out the game is actually already out, because release dates from third parties are completely accurate and truthful and never just made up to encourage pre-orders, then repeated by lazy journalists, or anything like that. Anyone beaten a campaign on legendary yet?

    I guess if I order it from Amazon right now, they'll have it to me within a month . of course, I won't actually be able to play it until September 3rd . BUT A BOY CAN DREAM. DREEEAM.

    Of course, all that info will be updated on Amazon in time, but the new Boxart is up there so I'm excited .

    It definitely won't be Dec. 31, that is like the worst release date ever, after Christmas they would miss a lot of potential sales. The trailer clearing shows Sept. 3, there is no reason why this would be the date for pre-orders, as what we have seen today sites are already beginning to list Rome 2 for pre-order. I think it is very likely that it will be released Sept. 3, though this is earlier than I expected, I thought it would be October.

    I don't know why people don't understand this...

    Amazon puts Dec 31st on there as a placeholder because they have been told the game will come out sometime THIS YEAR. And when CA gives them the official date they will move it up. They do this ALL THE TIME.

    WHEN A RELEASE DATE IS OFFICIAL CA WILL TELL US. STOP WITH THIS SPECULATION CRAP.

    Why wouldn't you make pre-orders available from now?

    They would never specifically publicize the date the game was available to pre-order on Steam over where you could get it from other outlets. The bricks and motor retailers already hate and fear Steam and they would pitch a shitfit if developers and publishers started singling it out for special treatment like that.

    There's no reason to announce in May that pre-orders will start in September.
