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...

The question is, will Malfador release the 1.05 patch right away or wait for SFI to publish?

I just called an EB/Gamestop store. The website says they ship on the 5th. The store guy says that's actually the day they receive the game. If you pre-order, they would call you that same day and you can pick up the game the day after (i.e. the 6th, this Saturday). I'm going over there tomorrow morning.
