The magazine is on the west coast US which means they will probably be getting it first. Its only about 12:15pm there so they probably are just getting or havent even gotten their mail yet.

savage,

You can find all the info on when you'll be able to purchase the magazine here:

http://www.guildwars.com/press/mediapartners.php

Also, magazines do not go first class mail. If the expected shipdate was March 15th then you are probably looking at a good 5-7 business days for most subscribers to receive them. Some could have them sooner depending on their location.

that date that play.com has is sept 1, 2007. (funny, that is on a saturday... let alone, a holiday weekend saturday, here in the states)

.... in other words, unlikely. (of course, I realize that people do that when they are saying it will be out that month, but still....)

Never rely on play.com for release dates ahead of time, they are so rarely right unless it is officialy anounced.

Very true that play.com is a uk store, however Guild Wars is a Global game. And with most of the programmers in seattle, to release a game into the market that will go through as many patches and fixes in the first few days (let alone hours) as campaign 4 will most likely go through... you are talking about a nightmare (availability wise - take it from someone who has to schedule people on holiday weekends).

No, I do not want to look at a release date given by game retailer. Might as well pull one out of my ass.

Make that: Never rely on any game retailer for release dates ahead of time.

Actually, the headquarters are based in a duty-free island (don't exactly know its name). That is why they've got all the stuff for much cheaper than their RRP.

Because they haven't got home to pick up the mail yet?

There are logical reasons for (almost...) everything, take a breathe and step back. Just wait.

I happily stand corrected and am happy that they are branching out

They are a great company and I've used them for a few years now and never had an issues with them and hadn't noticed that they have now expanded

How many postmen do you have in your family? ;-)

Or maybe the magazine was cursed, and anyone who read it have to show it to someone within 1 day. If you don't you will receive a phone call and there will be a scary little girl with black hair and red cape, come out of the magazine and eat you..................yeah I think the magazine just late.

Peter Griffin made me do it!

Why don't you get your family postman to nick a copy from the post office, or at least get the GW part on microfilm using a spy camera hidden in a potato

I started to assume the "delay" yesterday when I was like, wait, this is a bulk shipped mag, I feel exceedingly happy when I get a PACKAGE early, let alone regular mail. Thats when I realized we will see it most likely towards the end of the week. Still driving me crazy lol. I haven't even felt this anxious for christmas!

No they are not. They are both hardworking folks. Its the service that PC Gamer has signed up for, which is the cheapest and slowest postal service around.
