I've heard a single message pointing to the fact that Origin may     
 be delaying WC-IV until March... Anyone heard anything similiar??

This is the last "official" announcement I have heard- however, in 
Babbage's the other day I was looking at the WCIV box on the shelf and the 
salesperson called over to tell me the date was pushed back to March.  I 
wonder though, when we start hearing the same thing from different 
sources.

However, this is still unofficial until an announcement from Origin.  It 
may also just be the date that this chain is getting the software.  One 
place had MW2/GBL in December two weeks before it was on the shelf at 
CompUSA.


BTW. Has anyone heard about Battlecruiser 3000?  Good buzz but no 
confirmed release either.

I think the last person I would trust for any accurate information would 
be an employee of Babbages.  This is based on my own experiences with 
their ineptitude -- I'm sure there are some good Babbages employees out 
there somewhere.

babbages around me they tend to get things in late.  Computer City 
employees are _EVEN_ stupider.  You know its bad when you end up helping 
out cutomers from believing the complete bullshit employees tend to 
shovel at them.
