Please do not waste my time and yours creating threads about a release date until one has been officially announced.

Hey Bud,
So is EB Games/Gamestop wrong? I already paid for the game in advance. And the store manager has it in the computer as of May 29 th. for $29.00 dollars. Is that just an estimate? He told me he would call me as soon as UPS dropped off the boxes to the store. Is EB Games wrong? Or is that just some sort of educated guess on EB Gamess' part? :hea: :jmp:
I'd really like to know. (***On a side note, if you trade in your Gears of War Collectors editon version, you might just have enough to pay for the pre-order on Anniversary Tomb Raider.):tea:

Oooh, we have an Eidos member! Welcome! I don't mind the release date of the game. I really want a demo, I wish the demo will be released this month and not a week before the release of the game.:)

Edit. Oh, you're not new!;)

I thinks it's stupid. This may sound rude, but if you're not sure wether you can release a game on a certain date or not, than don't announce a date at all!!

They all had us thinking it would be released in April by releasing an official month. Then they go and delay it. I just think it's a sign of arrogance, it's like they know we'll buy the game anyway, so why even bother sticking to the promised release date? I know they probably don't mean it like that. But that's how it comes across.

On the other hand, I'd rather have CD delaying it, than have them releasing a half-finished game ;). So I get it. But still it's not a nice thing to do. It's better not to release a date at all when you're not sure if you're able to finish the game by then.

And I hope to god it really isn't going to be June/July, cause that's 4/5 months from now (including May).

wow

1st of all- a game store wont stock a game until the company releases it- no matter what the store says as far as a date. And If the store said it'll be available to you on May 29- then you could just as easily get it on the right day as you could get it 3 weeks late. all a store can ever do is give an educated guess

As TLR said- no official release date... then what Kier - from EIDOS- said... it will be out sometime in May, the exact date is not known.

process of elimination- May 29th is the last possible release date in May, so i think you are good. (at least inthe states- games are released on tuesdays)

Cool. It may be still a bit far, but it's the best time to be released for me, cause I'll be really busy with exams for the next 4 months.

Say, will there be a collector's edition (with metal case), or I can just pre-order the normal version from play?

And thanks for your work.

No. Keir's post was edited as a joke:p Keir said that it will be out in May, there is not an official release date yet, but we'll be the first to hear about it when it is announced :)

So long as the game comes sometime before November (otherwise the anniversary year would have passed by already) then I'm cool about the release date. Being a Final Fantasy fan has made me a patient person :p

i did think it would be released on the same date as original tomb raider but that was in oct/nov ... so im guessing not

Isn't May a month when a lot of countries have public holidays? Yay - more free time to play TRA:jmp:

Germany seems to have a public holiday day just about every week in May/June:yik:

Germany seems to have a public holiday day just about every week in May/June:yik:Here in South Africa, April has Public Holidays like every second day, so its good that the Game comes out sometimes in May but i will miss the Board and the Game when im in America till June.

I just pre-ordered through EBGames and they list the release date as 6/5/07. That is May 5, 2007 for you European folks. The price is $29.99

Has anyone pre-ordered it from a store in the UK? If so, could you please tell me where from and how much it cost? :)

i have preordered mine from amazon.co.uk for £24.99 on the PS2. and it says may 30th. cant really get much later in may so in theory, i could get an email from them, saying the release date has been brought forward. YAY!!!!

25th ?! I really don't want it to be then. Thats not 3 months... THATS 4 ! That would mean I would get it for my birthday - June 1st. Which is something I don't want to do.

Oh ok. :o Sorry, I though that March was 3 months away from May and 4 months away from June. 25th might as well be June so its nearly 3-4 months. But the 2 months and 16 days makes it all sound soo much better than 3 - 4 months. Thanks.

if it's about 2 months away, then it's about that time when we got a demo, I mean, the legend demo came out about 2 weeks before the game was released:mad:

2 months away from the release is a good time to give us a (playable (ps2)) demo.

We'll probably get a demo in April, if there is to be one.
