Vamp, the clocks change on the last Sat in March.... At least here and in Canada they do Did something change this???

No, our Congress keeps changing when Daylight Saving Time happens. It was the last Sat in March, but this year it is this Saturday. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if next year it was in February!

Went to bed too early, so rose too early. Will be bad tomorrow as the clocks jump ahead one hour tonight. Grrrr... I hate Daylight Saving Time!

That is tonight?  "sighs"  oh well. most of mine are on some sort of computer.. Most is done for me  Gotta change the stove, mocriwave and hmmm  alarm clocks.  

Yes - Congress can't get anything done, but they can change time!  Grrrr... They keep making the change earlier & earlier - to save on energy they claim - which is bogus.

WHAT!!!  I changed all my damn lightbulbs. What more can they want??

Read it yesterday. Seems some retailer messed up and sent it pre release date. Happens quiete often, but due to the modern internet based communication, you can now let everyone in the world know. Most retailers have their copies already and simply wait before they are allowed to sell it.

Thanks Vamp.... You lot always need to be different .........



@Twiggles

With your natural hair colour, it must have been damn hard to see that grey hair!!

I don't know why...
Maybe some retailer didn't respect the date of release.... and they sent the game before..

Aren't there some heavy fines or some punishment for releasing prior to the announced release date? When my hubby worked for a bookstore, they had to take serious precautions to make sure big items like the Harry Potter books weren't released prior to the set release date.

That's a nice way of putting it. I think most people would say "arrogant," and there are times I would agree.

I would assume, only if someone of authority found out which store. And since there are 1000's selling a game so highly ordered. It would be hard to find out unless someone snitched.

Yes.. it should be so...
But I am not really sure they can control every single retailer or every single shop
There is another player who said that in a Game-Shop in Switzerland they begin to sold awakening from yesterday morning...

I think the guy posted where he got it from, so it might not be so hard.

My grandma was a pure redhead. Ginger hair I think they call it. I got brown mixed with mine. Anyway. When he was in her 70's, she had very very little gray in her hair. I used to wish I was a pure redhead just because they gray so late in life! lol

I never read the post. I am kind of shocked he posted the retailer.

I have not read all the posts because I feared spoilers..
But why should he had to say who is the retailer? He should be happy they shipped him the game before the right date... so he had no any interest in denoncing them...

I really do not understand what the big deal is over timed release dates... If the product arrives to the shops, why not sell it??

He did actually. Someone asked who is retailer is and he posted a web address. Apparently also released in Switzerland.

Cuz, this is simple. Companies set a date, people expect said date to be true, kids do not play well with each other when one gets a bigger peice of candy!

To make sure everyone get's it at the same time. Otherwiese you would have lot's of complaints cause some get it later or earlier than others, sold out cause not enough copies arrived and so on. And especially the small shops would be the disadvantaged of that policy.

I know it's a kinda annoying feeling as i my favorite store already has the game i anxiously want to play and have to wait for a few more days, but that'S better than the difference where everysone sells the first copy that arrives when it arrives, to many inequalities and a huge image loss for the company
