Other retaliers will RECEIVE their copies within the week depending on how UPS can handle all those boxes :D Anyways, for the rest of us mortal, it looks like mid-next week before we can go to our favourite store and buy WC4. BTW the game HAS SHIPPED.

According to them, Feb. 9th is the shipping date, meaning it'll take another few days for them to reach the stores. Then I assume the stores will have to price them, etc., etc. So I guess it will take a few more days before WC4 is within our arm's length in the stores. BTW, I'm kinda curious as to the various price ranges for the game. Suprsoftware says theirs will be on sale for $49.99. Anyone has other numbers? Thanks. -- ------------ Regards, Veng-Ly

I was told this when I called Egghead and found that WC4 wasn't in on Friday. I decided to go ahead and call EA direct and order it. It cost a little more (about $20 more), but they ship the $15 Strategy Guide free. Come monday, I should be holed up in my room enjoying Wing Commander bliss :) -- Ben F.S.
