I appreciate I'm new Rincewind, however I did not name the comany in question, and was asking about a release date that spans not just that comany, but everyone who sells the game.
Also, I understand the fearful nature of just hinting on another company on the planet who might sell similar stuff to OcUk, but please... arn't we getting a little over zealous with this?! I was mearly explaining my situation, what I had pre-ordered, and with whom, so that others out there might be able to shed light on my question. This was in no way a poke at Ocuk or a subtle attempt at subconsious marketing for 'the other company'!
I shall attempt to get the answer from another avenue... perhaps one that isn't quite so overtly protective over the arcane nature of 'competition'.
Oh, and my system specs were an obviously misguided attempt at irony... is that covered in the FAQ? or is competition between different ironic devices within English narrative equally outlawed?
P.S. It could also be argued, that by the usually excellent content of these forums, and keen desire by those who frequent and offer assistance to those of us that are 'new', can in itself aid and strengthen the promotion of OcUK and lead to us new users purchasing from OcUk first before considering anyone else. Perhaps this aspect has been lost by your narrow view of looking out for competition hinting! I'm not even sure what the benefit of competition hinting would be on a forum like this... one that is traditionally supported by hard core Ocuk users!!!
might change the rig to a lappy with a 7900gs so all to the good.
