SEV on store shelves now? In Austrailia?

This site says "In Stock".

Is this true? Why austrailia? I mean, nothing against austrailia, but how is is on store shelves there, 2 weeks ahead of the rest of the world? What are they doing right?

Or is this balony?

Interesting but I think they have their date wrong, not that we don't get some things early. For example Osprey books (not the bird, the publisher with military history etc) Lately I have seen their books come out and I buy them but when I check their website they claim it doesn't come out for another month. Still if I have the time I might go check.

It might be for real though. Other players have from Australia have said they've picked up the game on se5.com's forums.

hmm. I'm not working tomorrow and although I had something important to do I suppose I'll have to go check my local EB, although last time I asked about it (because they stocked SE4) they knew nothing about it.

Apparently it's true.

Darkbeholder on the IRC channel is in .au and apparently has a copy. I have no reason to doubt him, but of course I have no way to verify it.

I did some calculations btw... unless you want to pay insane amounts for priority shipping it will just be faster to wait for the actual release.

Well if SOMEONE has it, then maybe ebgames WILL be shipping it tomorrow, as their website says...

How insane is insane?

I just preordered it from a GameStop Store. I did not have any problem and the guy said it may be in (tomorrow) on Friday!

As much as I feel for youall that have miles or days to drive to reach a computer store. There is one I can walk to from work.

I picked by my copy of SE V 2 days ago at a EB Games shop, so it can be confirmed that it is released in Australia.
Now to just find time to play the game.

I went to EB Games today. They didn't have it yet. (This is in Canada. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Canada.gif[/img])
