One thread to hold them all!

Published on February 3, 2008 By lordkosc In Sins of a Solar Empire

Ok , after the 20 or so preview threads that were all over the darn place, I am making a single location where we can post all the reviews of the game for easy reference.

So once you find a review, post it in the following format:

I hope this will be made sticky by someone from SD.

My review is that I is not available at either GameStop or BestBuy. Both stores looked it up in their computers and said it comes out on 2/5/2008, not Today 2/4/2008! It's not on their shelves and their release date is different.

It usually takes a day after the release for the stores to get it too, so either tmrw or the next day.

Yes, it actually ships today, and comes in tomorrow
the local Best Buy said around 2 P.M. tomorrow

Not sure why you posted these links? Both say what I said, it's release date is today: 2/4/2008.

Probably True SnallTrippin. But I have gone to both stores on the release date of a new game before and they did have it. The salesguy at BestBuy said that most games come out on Tuesdays as far as he knows. Oh well, tomorrow then, or I'll check Wal-mart and the other stores/sites today..

I've been led to believe that 2/4/2008 is the day it's shipped from the publisher and not the release date.

Yeah, sometimes the release date is actually the date that the game is shipped to the stores and pre-orders are mailed. Luckily a game store is within walking distance from my work.

Don't the reviewers get the game before the release date? Shouldn't the reviews be out by now? I need to see if this game lives up to the hype!!!!

I'm surprised to see that neither of these site have a review yet. I'm so curious to know!

In the US, just about all new games, DVDs and even books are released on a Tuesday. I don't know how this came to be, but it is now a tradition in the world of publishing.

lordkosc

on Feb 04, 2008

its because no one ever game in the stores on a Tuesday, so they made game and movie releases TUESDAY!

Yarlen

Yeah, Sins only shipped on Monday. Not sure how the Tuesday thing got started either, but we've been told the same thing by our distributor...
