What is wrong with "Holland"?

It's incorrect.

Holland, or specifically North and South Holland, are provinces, Kingdom of the Netherlands is the name of the entire country. It's leftover from our Republic days when Holland was the most important area.

I can forgive foreigners for using the term Holland, because they simply don't know any better (and we do use the name in our soccer songs, adding to confusion). Hell, some people even think Amsterdam (capital) is the name of the country.

But Dutchmen really should use the term ''Netherlands'' to set the right example.

Can I have your man-babies please? I swear I have used that exact answer before on other forums at least once.

Be sure to inform us if people with digital copies are better off, in terms of getting the game sooner, if it'll actually allow you to get it one day earlier!

A bazillion curses, I got it from D2D, who aren't releasing it for another day.

I could have got the EA Store Denmark version and then I would be playing in an hour 

Yea same here... I only paid 40€ for the deluxe version though. At the EA store it costs 75€.

Well, Canada gave us a fine offering with Dragon Age, but we deliver our fair share of games too, such as the Witcher, Killzone, Drakensang, etc...

Netherlands here, I refuse to say Holland, and Game.co.uk still says the 6th.

Also from the netherlands, game.co.uk is where I ordered my copy of the PS3 Collectors Edition as well, still will have to wait until 20 november and a few deliviry time days.

Sweden here. Got the game by mail yesterday. Have not been able to play due to needing to reinstall windows first (it kept crashing 9 times out of 10 at start-up). But soon...

[The_Krilly]

I'm playing the EA Digital Deluxe edition in Holland atm. But have gotten no mails with codes for the extra content yet. (Wards tower, stone prisoner).

Any one in europe recieved a mail from EA with those codes yet?

In Denmark, EA Store releases the game in about 68 minutes. Oh, it's going to be a good night!

Totally, I've already bought Snackage for tonight.

[AngryFrozenWater]

The game on Steam was unlocked this morning. I have the day off, so I am fiddling around with it now.

I really don't like the way character movement works. I need to get used to it, but I doubt it.

Holland as the name of our country is formally incorrent. We have 12 provinces. 2 of which are North Holland and South Holland. None of the other 10 have Holland in their name.

[StarDreamer1]

What? I thought I was going to get it tomorrow at the end of the day and when I opened steam after reading the first post I see it is released already. Fine by me! =) Argh Why must the unlocking be so slow...

[Sarevok Anchev]

Me got CE by Amazon and they still say 6-7th November + possible extra time, because producer

screwed up the Standard Edition and needed to make new ones.

Dunno why this should effect the pre-ordered CE edition though...



Besides: I am in Germany and also say Netherlands
