Just got the game : V

» Tue May 15, 2012 4:43 am

So today I got a call from my brother, he bought skyrim for ps3 this morning, later this afternoon I went after my PC version.
Will probably have to wait until 11.11.11 anyway to play it, but I'm happy to have it at the ready

Dind't pre-order or anything, just went to shop and payed a (even) lower-price then normal I think. Payed 44.99€ for the pre-order edition with the map.
Btw, I live in Belgium.

Pete Hines has confirmed that nobody (of the normal crowd) gets to play until release day, those gamestores are mistaken. The OP is a troll. /thread /lock

Besides, if the OP did get the game for PC, he can't play it till the 11th anyways because it needs steam to unlock and steam will NOT unlock it before midnight est 11-11-11

I've seen quite a few pictures today of members here who have the game, a lot of small retailers are breaking the street date.

Really? Do you really believe that zero shops will break the street date?

I have a time machine. Went to 11/11/11. Turns out Skyrim got a 2/10.

I would love to have a strategy guide right now so I can be planning things out for Friday. It's supposed to have a lot of character build examples in it.

Some people in Oklahoma have sold the game already. Also in Texas and Arkansas.

In the whole world actually. Only PC gamers have to wait because of some arbitrary date.

I am currently looking at the site of a Dutch retailer, and despite the fact that they that the release date is on the 11th of November, I can come and pick it up tomorrow.

It doesn't matter all that much, we pc gamers have to wait till 11.11.11 anyway, but like I said it's nice to have it standing by!
Do have to say, console owners can play it already.

my stepbrother got his copy for xbox about 15 minutes ago if his text message he sent me is to be believed. Dunno why he would lie since he went there for modern warfare 3 and would be more excited about that if it wasnt true.

People have been getting their copies for several days now. Thats what the OP posted, he didn't say he was playing.

I'm picking up my physical copy this afternoon. Doesn't mean the Steam DRM will magically go away, can only play Friday at 00:00

There's limited small-end retailers here in the UK to buy games. The usual places are GAME, Gamestation, HMV, supermarkets like Tesco and PC world etc. All of these high-market shops won't release before 11/11/11, at the risk of being sued for breach of contract. Smaller retailers, perhaps local ones, may sell early since they're harder to sue by not having multiple stores around the UK/World.

The physical copy I preordered has been sitting at the store for several days now as they gave me a courtesy call to say it has arrived but cant be sold until street date. They have started doing this when special editions didnt arrive. None of the guys saying they have a copy would be lying they just cant play the pc version yet.

A friend of mine got it for Xbox 360 last friday, I've been avoiding him ever since out of both jealousy and not wanting my experience ruined. 11/11/11 can't come quick enough!

» Tue May 15, 2012 1:49 pm

Its more like Thursday midnight, or first hour of Friday.

Also it completly suxs this arbitrary release dates were implemented to protect retailers from themselves and mainly digital market, but they are the first to break them, its just time to stop caring about retailers all together they serve no purpose, they only serve to increase production and distribution costs.

How the hell? Seriously. I am jealous too.

The Xbox version has been out in the wild for a whole week now.

Ah, you weren't referring to the legit copy?

» Tue May 15, 2012 2:28 pm

I'm just on my way to go get my pre-order.

Won't be able to play it until the 11th due to steam though. :c

I'm from Belgium too, by the way.
