I think David Heath mentioned somwhere it should be out in the first week of July. Typical - the week I am going off to the country for some camping, the game I have waited 5 years for is released, I wanna be here for the party

Cheers Chris

Hi Guys

The game should be shipping from our new store in about 3 weeks and about 4 - 5 weeks in the stores. Our UK partner Just Play should have the game available 5-6 weeks. Sorry for the delays but we want this perfect. We will be having our Kinkos manual available for purchase for those who want to early next week.

Thanks for the update. I can wait for a quality game, and this looks to be really good. Thanks again.

Chris it is too early for orchids and too cold for goats/pigs. What is your interest at this time of year?

e_barkmann · Post by **e_barkmann** » Fri Jun 27, 2003 10:24 am

Hiking (best in winter/early spring)

photography

Pichi richi railway

noodling around old mines etc

local history and old buildings/ruins

scenery

and of course, the panzerfaust practise range.

Is this still possible, or are we now looking at 'August'?

Hi Kent

We are pretty much on the mark. We maybe a day or two off but nothing serious.

I don't think it would matter because the store is still down.

David Heath, I have tried to order the the KP manual from Kinko's (I'm in milwaukee, WI), but they don't seem to know about it. I got a link to Kinko's online ordering but the manual doesn't show up there yet. No availible yet?

Do you have solid information on that, FJ? Or are you just speculating? On June 24, David Heath said the release was "about three weeks" away and a couple of days ago he said "maybe a day or two off but nothing serious". Depending on how literal a person wants to be, that implies release next week. If they are actually shooting for the last week in July, as you say, then we are still three weeks away and there has been essentially no progress over the past two weeks.

"about three weeks"....this can still mean that there´s a month left to wait...

Several websites have said that the 28th will be the ship date

This also appears to be the date for EYSA and TOS:WS
it would make sense for matrix to bundle all those together and ship them on the same day

So im going with the 28th for now

Why does that make sense? Seems like it would just multiply the problems associated with trying to get a game out the door. I'd think it would be easier if the releases were spaced out a bit. Certainly, it wasn't a rousing success the last time Matix tried to release three games at once. Of course, it beats a year+ without any releases.

They've also implied that the game would be available direct from Matrix a week or so ahead of other sites.
