Well....

That's what about every stores in the US has listed...

Since Sierra UK is saying it's out for October 8th.... a 9/30 release in
America would be normal.

I mean, it's just faster to get the copies from the Warehouse in America
than it is in the UK/rest of Europe/Australia/Asia.  GPL is probably shipped
by boat across the Atlantic, so 1week before the first copies would be
seriously shipped here in NA...

I mean, for those Europe people thinking that a World-wide release is
possible, it's just that while waiting for the Europe package to arrive at
destination the US stores are just wasting time (I mean why wait if you can
already ship it).

(it's the same deal... the Star Wars Prequel will be delayed some days for
the people staying in North America, so if you are really a SW geek (hmm
like me hehe) plan your vacation trip to the US for the last week of May !)

Just to clarify a point.. the article said GPL will SHIP a week later than
the other game, meaning it will SHIP on Wednesday, September 30th, and
SHOULD be in stores TWO days later (Friday)..

You MAY be lucky to get it on the Thursday, but if GPL is released (cross
your fingers) on the 30th, then I'd book off Friday, October 2nd.

Cross your fingers....

Oh no? I cannot bear the thought of reading all those GPL posts when

The release date for GPL in the UK is 09-10-98 (9th October), according to
the sales staff at Game. My copy's ordered, along with a friends. I see a
sicky coming along in the next couple of weeks :-).

Nice One, I hadn't thought of that!!! I went into Electronic Boutique
today and they said they had an Oct 9th release date for GPL too. (PC
World didn't have a clue what I was talking about, typical for them,
they are a bunch of W*nkers!)

Well, I'm not so sure about that.  If you simultaneous release were a
priority, they could do what USA Today and the New York Times do...
transmit the product electronically and publish at several locations
in paralell.  Surely somebody over there across the Atlantic.  I don't
know enough to say whether that would be practical for a relatively
small release like a game though.

I actually heard that it will be IN STORES on the 30th from my game
seller.  Let's hope he is correct!!
