Hi.
I ordered a copy of GalCiv from Amazon.com a week ago Friday. At 1st they said it would take about 2-3 days b4 it would be shipped by Arpil 7th or 8th and that I would get it by April 10th thur the 14th. But that got pushed back to the 14th thru the 18, and now they are saying I will get it between the 15th thru the 22nd.

Did anyone who ordered it thru Amazon.com keep getting delayed as well?

I think they're just having problems with getting it in stock- a lot of places are probably now trying to compete to get it in stock as it's a lot more popular than I think anyone imagined it would be- including Brad.

Yeah, I got that run-around from Amazon too. Put in an order a few days before the release, and they kept giving the "2-3 days == April 10th" nonsense. After a few days of this I cancelled the order, went over to the local EB and grabbed a box off the shelf. (Kinda defeated the purpose of paying extra for priority shipping when it was going to be ages before it even got sent out...)

Which makes it all the more amusing that GalCiv is so high on their sales charts... how many of those "sales" have they actually managed to ship? (At the moment their GalCiv page still claims "Usually ships within 24 hours"!)

Yeah, I'm on the Amazon site now and it is saying 24 hrs to shop. That BETTER mean that they got a bunch more copies in stock, and are gonna send mine to me soon.
