As of today, it's available for pre-load from Steam. Took me a whopping 8 minutes.

Beautiful looking game. I hope my PC will be able to run it on the upper settings.

One... Moar... Week..........

i looked at the live link.

they mentioned that demo will also be available next tuesday.

I'm still waiting for BF--X-Mas sales on Steam.

I only ever play 1-3 different civilizations anyway with random maps. all this downloadable content with civs that 4% of people have ever cared about, and maps that add little to no replayability is just fluffy garbage.

I'm looking for some confirmation about the D2D download. If I get it with the discount from D2D, I end up downloading it with Steam, right? So after I complete my purchase, I have no need to deal with D2D anymore, right?

 

[dighn]

I want the giant death robot.

I wonder when D2D will give us keys to enter in Steam since the Steam preorders can already preload.

Yepp, that's the word from 2k Games since it's a Steam Powered game.

why would you order from amazon when you can get the deal from D2D for $10 off? they also have the best bonus, first DLC for free and double civ pack. and the deluxe includes babylonian civ. but it's your money i guess.

Plus you get CIV III...

Thanks I ordered it from D2D. However, they charged me sales tax, WTF!

That's quick - not a huge download then? How big?

Really? Civ 3?

/me runs over to D2D.

This product is available for purchase in the United States, Canada, Mexico, France, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Finland, Åland Island, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

God damn you stupid Brits! Why the hell couldn't you have waited longer to hand over Hong Kong?

This is why I rarely ever think to buy from D2D these days. A lot of games are restricted for me.

OMG 1 week left! I need to request next Tuesday off from work.

Do they block you from downloading it in Hong Kong or just at the purchasing level?

they seem to charge tax in some of the east coast states. i've also heard NH is charged tax too.

I actually didn't notice the size - I will check tonight when I'm home.

 

[minmaster]

so someone asked D2D and they said no to getting keys to preload on steam.

the size is about 4.5 gb.

At least a day in advance would be nice. Jerks.

I just bought this from Amazon with my $20 credit I got from buying another game. $29.99 with release date delivery = Sweet. :awe:

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Shit! Forgot I had that Amazon credit, bought from D2D.

 

[BoberFett]

Dang, I didn't realize we were this close to release. This doesn't bode well for my job search...

The only possible bright spot is everyone who bought it from Steam will have it downloaded already so those who bought it from a non-Steam location will have fast downloads....?!?!
