Maybe it is different for European release, would suck to be you Yurops!

 

Or maybe it is just wrong. I don't see why it would be pushed back. From what they say, the game is done and it is far enough away from the BF 2 release so thats not a problem...

[Bryant_pff]

must be the UK release date, on Lucas EB-Games and Gamestop it says

 

EB:Pre-Order: Ships on 02/01/2006

GameStop: Pre-Release ETA: 2/7/2006

Lucas: Ships Feb 2006

If they are already planning another project with SEGA they must me very damn near to finishing it, we suspected mere testing and polishing from now till feb! Whats going on!!! Unless its just for europe.

Well seeing as they're saying they must be adding something else to the game such as secrets and missions and possibly more maps and characters. Maybe someone fell asleep and screwed up a certain map which was a pain in the rear to fix ? Well I think they're adding secrets for us to find or maybe trying to program the hardest AI for us to get owned at from everybodys crying ?

if only........but then the demo would come after the game release some thing to think about.......

[Foshjedi2004]

But that is now confusing me. Too many dates. Well we need someone like Code_monkey or Cain to verify what we are hearing. Maybe Katarn will know something. Hmmmmmm

[Dorkthehunter]

What I know of (not much-hense the name) is that according to LucasArts, the release date in the United States is still February 6th. I'm not sure about the rest of the world though...

[Fobdo]

Maybe they're just changing it at random to confuse us

[General Ackbar]

amazon release dates are very flimsy. its good advice not to even look at them for release dates of video games.

[Moriarty101]

I'll Fed Ex over night a copy for you Fosh. I would want to see a grown man cry. That is just sad LOL

[Joshinator]

In the US, confirmation is Feb 9th!! Mark it down everyone

True, the same goes for rpg books from the US really, they are usually very slow compared to normal retailers, at least here in little DK

[Foshjedi2004]

I thought that the release date was universal? What happened then?

[Naja]

Leave it to Amazon to bungle a universal shipping date that Lucasarts itself has confirmed.

Amazon Germany: Feb 9th, 2006

[Khalarius]

If it takes a few MORE months to develop the game and ship it to Europe, then we must wait. In my motherland we have a saying Strpljen-spasen, or i your language, patiente is a virtue (or something like like).... I personaly can not wait, but what is done, is done

I don't know here on gamefaqs still says february

[Darkmark]

It's probably released on the the 10th here in England because games usually come out on the friday. Just an educated guess though.

 

I have no idea what the usual release day is for the US or the rest of Europe.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

awww y cant i b on the monday thats when everything else is released! and my b-days on the Wednesday!

[Delphi-PG]

Feb 7, 2006 is still the U.S. release date. Haven't heard about the UK, French or German versions yet.

[Admiral Nova]

Australia??? When are we getting this highly anticipated game? I'll be travelling Europe in February anyway, so I'll be waiting until mid-March... I'm assuming the game will be out by then here?!

[Naja]

So far, I've heard (or would like to believe) that the DEMO release is the 7th of December. True or false?
