According to my local EBGames, in upstate NY, HTTR will be there tomorrow afternoon!

I can not tell you how messed up the stores are with their release dates. I got them telling customers that games we shipped are not do out until November 22 and games that are not do until the week of November 17 are coming tomorrow Image

EBGames has updated their website to show preorders shipping on 11/17. At least now I'll have time to finish A Bridege Too Far. :rolleyes:

David,

I ordered EYSA & AA:HTR through the main Matrix E-Store (wanted to make sure you guys got more of the $$$ ;) ). These were ordered together with overnight shipping.

Will they be shipped together once HTR is finished, or will they be shipped separately?

I just want to know when to start looking for the Fed Ex guy. No sense pacing the floor eagerly awaiting the sound of a truck engine, if I don't have to. :D

Also, what happened to the Kinko’s Doc Center link? Did you guys decide to drop that service? I had the manual done for UV and thought it was a great idea although I wish I could have gotten color pages printed instead of just the cover.

The local EBGames did not get HTTR today. They still show it as coming today but the salesman said it may take a day or two for them to get a corrected ship date. I'll bet it will end up being 11/17. :)

Yeap, sick and tired, tired and sick… :rolleyes:

I’ve still got a copy on reserve/pre-order at my local EB store. I’m cautiously optimistic (borderline pessimistic) that IF it gets released it will be worth a ****. An analogy: It’s like living in Alaska and ordering a brand new car from a dealer in Argentina and making the dealer drive it up to you. After going through multiple countries and rough roads, what kind of condition will that “brand new car” be in when it gets to my house in Alaska?

I’m starting a lobbying group for Matrix Games to crank out some naval warfare games. If you can’t do something like Harpoon, how about making those old Victory Games board games of Sixth Fleet, etc.? Maybe even make the scale so that you could have mobile ground units/divisions and wage a combined land, sea, and air campaign. :D

Seriously, why couldn’t you take an old board game concept like Victory Game’s NATO and combine it with 2nd Fleet?

...easier said than done right?

The local EBGames now says they'll have HTTR on 11/18. It's like the sign in my local pub window every day that says Free Beer Tomorrow.

EB is now saying December 3...??!
