For a start this should have been posted in the tob forum.
Secondly i expect that it should already be out in America. After all its out in England now so it should be there!

Hang on i think it is actualy not until the 25th in this country i think......
But anyway considering you American b*****ds get everything before us i presume it would be out.
You see a friend just told me it came out n the 6th. But then i realised he lives in Kentucky!

You'll find advertised prices for TOB in this Sunday's Best Buy and CompUSA ads, but don't you believe them. Also, Amazon.com has tomorrow listed as the release date, but that's probably wrong too. The latest thing I read at the gonegold.com forums was an unoffical report (speculation?) that the date has been pushed back at least a week.

Is it really out in England? You get all the good stuff there first... :( Monty Python, The Beatles, Who's Line Is It Anyway, now this... ;)

i hav been to japan and i have been to america. so what did i find the most dominant features of each country???

Japan is a wonderful careing and friendly country who's people work hard.
Americans are reasonably friendly. But they have egos the size of belgium!!! :D :D

Japanese people get things first because tey work hard for it and they are all intelligent.
Us europeans and americans slouch all day preferring to think about nothing in particular othr than work.

Well, **THAT** was rude.

What have I ever done to you? I don't know you, you don't know me, so just because I was born in a different country you decide to call me a b*****d? And you suddenly know that I sit around doing nothing? Amazing to be so smart that you can know everything about me without ever meeting me.

And, I think your behind on your history. All us Americans that family's have been here almost forever have British blood in us, you know. We were born from a war, one could say. But that still doesn't give you a reason to be so angry. We're nice to you, is that so bad?

your ego steriotype is based on people from New York(no offence). I myself am a hard working texan. that earns around $15 an hour. but there is really no such thing as an "american", considering that i am part french, irish, polish, german, and cherokkee(native american tribe). And the only real reason people from japan get things first is that all of the major companies are based there.(sony, nintendo, sega, several major computer companies). but u r right, their work ethic is great.

(yes, most far east races are very intelegent, but i do know some... less than average Japanes)

I work at Electronic boutique, and tomarrow night we get them in stock (the 10 pm shipment, we have a request via bioware not to start sales till the 22nd, but its only a request and selling it earlier will not breach any direct laws.. But my manager will prolly start sales on the 22nd anyway cuz he fears lawyers... (with good reason, i think we all do in a way). Anyway, after i get my copy tomarrow u guys have any objections to spoilers such as the flail heads post and such?

I got my copy today -- both the local Software Etc. and the local EB had copies in and for sale today. Started playing Watcher's Keep since I'd put off finishing BG2 'til the expansion came out. Fairly tough place -- did they make the difficulty scale to your party's level? My party is maxed-out in BG2 terms (all the artifacts, hit the exp cap, etc.) and a couple places on level 1 are still tricky. Which, to be honest, is a nice change from the easy battles I'd be facing in BG2 lately!

i've been to multiple stores and they have places on the shelves, but no games, so i believe that they are honoring the request that boi ware made. so i guess i have to wait till monday to get it since i'm going outa town. o-well, i can be patient for a while longer.

The only wierd thing that i've seen, is that it didn't even come up in Best Buy's computers when i took a look there... strange.
