When's it gonna happen - isn't it supposed to be released on the 18th? It should have gone gold already.

I've been wondering about that myself. I've scanned all the major game news sites for the past few days and seen nothing. I'm beginning to fear that the game may be delayed a bit... (which ALWAYS happens to games I'm waiting for).

Anyway, did you get your DVD set yet?

No, not yet. EA is supposed to contact me but hasn't. Hmmm....

However, if that means that they are focusing their attention on the game then by all means, thats ok.

I can't wait to read reviews of NF because the previews have been very uninformative.

I think it might go gold tomorow, Friday the 15th, for two reasons. First, it would half to do so if they want to keep the November 18th release date. Second, EA just added a countdown timer to the Nightfire website but it isn't counting yet. This must mean that it will do so soon, but first it has to go gold.

Well the counter is counting now so I'm assuming it'll be announced as having gone gold by tomorrow. I hope so...I can't wait to start playing it next week and it'd greatly ease the last few days of waiting for Die Another Day.

I'm planning on actually doing my research paper that's due next week early (this weekend) rather than cramming it at the last minute just so I can play without worrying about it. You know something's big when it keeps me from procrastinating. :)

I have a serious feeling that NF(PC Version) is going to slip possibly to the beginning of december....I know the "countdown" clock says 2 days....but im believing its for the console versions...i'll be shocked if I find a copy of nightfire for the PC on the shelves at EB on tuesday morning :) If I do, i'll eat my fedora!!

EB said the console versions are coming out on Monday the 18th. However, they also said the PC version is coming out on Thursday the 21st.

I hope everyone enjoys "Bond Week"

At least there will be the console version to hold me off for the few days (which I'll rent as I don't have enough for both versions...Bond mania is really hurting my budget).
