Any information or expected release date?

I am soooo glad I only heard about this game last month!

 

As suspected an other delay, just for the heck of it.

November 3 in North America.

November 6 for that annoying piece of landmass that sticks to Russia and the oil wells.

Other places need to pointed out on the map first.

The pre-ordering has started. So is the pre-ordering for the collectors edition. At least in the USA and a few places in the UK. The other, landmasses still wait for any official word as usual about the collectors edition.

I think this is the last delay.

 

Hmm, two weeks only. Probably some marketing stuff behind this small delay.

 

It might be to get the release date closer to the christmas season. I think there's still a strong belief that the big games will sell much more if they're released either for the christmas shopping time or at the beginning of summer.

 

Which makes same sense. However when all developers launch their games in the same period it negates that effect. For lesser games, I think it holds true, but quality always surfaces.

It is possible EA is afraid that a release during the height of the financial crisis somehow "forces" people to pirate in stead of buy.

Some speculate it has to do with the playstation version having trouble. Makes sense since a lot of people think that the pc version was ready in March and EA forced a multi platform release.

Bioware said they needed time for spit and polish which frankly even less people buy. Such comments are standard answers to evade things. It might be possible a Major bug was found that required a lot of reprogramming. That can be the reason why the Mass Effect patch is 6 months overdue.(they said soon 6 months ago)

Is it an example for the stick and carrot system to get attention from the not fanatic fans away from other products. Even the most stupid mule understands at some point that the carrot is unreachable.

It better be a good carrot. If it is a normal carrot they deserve to go bust.

 

A little extra about pre ordering and the collectors edition. Goodies all around, even for the regular edition.

Well do we need a link to Bioware, not really but here it is anyway:http://daforums.bioware.com/viewtopic.html?topic=689474&forum=135

 

I'll go to gamescom tomorrow morning, and hope I'll have a chance to play test Dragon age (Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 2; and snatch some merchandise)

My shopping basket at Amazon.co.uk says that it will be released on October 23, 2009, so Merlanni's information appears to be correct.

 

The talk at Bioware's forum is first week November.

There are a few things with the collectors edition. To much speculation and no conclusive answers to post anything about it here. The basic thing is everybody outside the USA who wants the full thing with everything in and on it gets screwed on way or the other.

 

The official word on release date is now November 3rd, but that's changed before. Still, as close as it is, I doubt it'll change much unless something goes really wrong.
