X3 - Preorder

Post by Luminatus » Sat, 15. Oct 05, 22:13

Um, Has anyone noticed that you can pre-order X3 from Egosoft now? Not only that, but it has an Oct. 28 ship date on it.

Just noticed the pe-order links says 'pre-order now'. Just if you click it, it takes you to press rather than the shop. The Order Now link is still greyed out.

That's interesting, although I am Highly sceptical... anyone can confirm this? Because the game has not gone Gold, but if it's on egosoft...?

They are allowing you to pre-order thats all some games can be pre ordered months in advance so dont take it as a special sign or something. I did however did pay the money so i get my fancy book :)

Once it DOES go gold, we can reckon several weeks to get the game pressed, packaged, and shipped out to shops. Even if X3 were ready next week--and I have no idea if there's a chance of that--there's no way it'll be in the shops by the 17th.
I really love this statement :P
And now X3 just pops outer thin air on 28. Oktober 2005 without being Gold :o

Maybe Silver is good enough for Deep Silver... :twisted:

I am as sceptical as you say Phony, because I know all this, but the problem is that it's Egosoft who say it... I am not jumping up and down though.

Wow! And look at the release dates. Wait... why is the German and the Collector version going to be released... IN NOVEMBER? :o Thats like a whole month after the English one!
:?

Oh, and it being up for pre-order doesn't mean X3 has gone gold. :roll:

I don't like the ways to pay, is it not possible to pay on delivery?

The only other release thread we need is the one made by "The Abbys" or "esd" or "CBJ".

But having the release date not in some game shop but in the EGOSOFT shop just adds fuel to the fire.

Well, we in germans' Forum were/are worried, too. Our release here is at the 18. Nov. Ego has only 13 days to make it gold and 11 days, if they want you to get the game at release.

PS: Sry for my English ;)

More of a 'Pre-Order from Egosoft is up' thread than a release date thread if you ask me. :P Or it was anyway
