I believe that vikings [censored] women in the towns they raided....

Except that there are plenty of copies of Skyrim and they can always print more....

Not seeing that as a very logaical rreason.

That....is possibly the worst anology I've ever read. +1 internets to you, sir.

That makes absolutely no sense...

Now that I see this thread I will for sure go and look for a game tomorrow. I live in Eindhoven in the Netherlands, if anyone knows a store that sells them already let me know! To bad the Mediamarkt is just closed for 13 minutes..

I got my copy (CE edition) in Utrecht, but from what I've heard it's Gamemania that's mostly breaking the release date.

And you only like Skyrim for it's Windmill's as well!

Joke!

Thank you!

It's also the Free Record Shop and Bart Smit, but yeah, thanks to GameMania I just got my first achievement !

Nobody is getting the game before 11/11/11 unless its reviewers/leaked versions. so well.. best thing to do is avoid spoilers or even go dark 1 day before release.

As for the US stuff, not all games comes from US!!! shops stock at tuesdays in US / Fridays in EU (friday in EU to avoid people dropping school/work for game/music/movie releases)

You are right that the normal way to do it is, "if released/made in US" they release the game on tuesday for the NA region and the next Friday for EU (if its an eu made game is out in EU friday and US the next tuesday, sometimes even weeks postponeed)

But, the new trend is to release it global! (I can give you a ton of examples) so the game will get digital released at a tuesday or friday! (most often friday actually)

As for shops breaking the street date! its illegal and they should get punished if you ask me, luckily its only consoles version! (see steam can be very handy) so well, all pc players still have to wait

Its just two more days. Chill out.

No offence but you should have read this whole topic before jumping to reply

Its in regard to the PC Version!!!!

Sure some retailers break the street date on console games, sadly... nothing you can do about it.. (other than report shops that do it)
But as I said, who cares about it, if some people get to play the xbox version 2 days before... but well, maybe its because I only care about the PC version and spoilers are easy to avoid!

Because any other policy would be unfair. This topic is an excellent example of people's reactions to the fact that someone gets the game before they do - and we're talking about a difference of only a couple of days. By establishing one release date for all stores the company ensures that everyone has an equal chance of enjoying their product. Without it, you could find yourself in a situation when one stores starts selling weeks before another - hardly what customers want, is it?

The US usually get EVERYTHING before us... a refreshing change in my opinion

What? O.O
In europe we dont have skyrim? i wish we had..

Why does everyone think we dutch still live in the stone age? we arent wearing ''wooden shoes'' anymore. And only the farmers did.

Game Mania is selling them, the one past the PSV stadium. Don't bother getting the PC version though, [censored] Steamworks BS will stop you from playing.

Shhh!
We need the money windmill and wooden shoe tourists bring.

Yes! Wooden shoes and windmills all over the place! Oh, and tulips!

meh, Americans dont tend to take kindly to countries that have like, an actual history

You really did a terrible job reading the rest of the thread where people in Europe have openly admitted to buying the game today and are playing right now...

Because ''americans'' are actually europeans except the Native americans?

No I just think it is general ignorance. Bad schooling means certain people don't realise there are other countrys other than the USA who all have their own diverse and unique cultures.

All with many others, I get mine on the 10th at 9pm according the Steams release clock. Also a confirmation from PH.

Oh yes you do...reread the whole thread...
