What if: earlier release date by mistake?

Post » Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:01 am

Hypothetically speaking if there was a shop in my country (not illegal or anything like that!!!!) that is advertising to sell the game on the 21st and I could buy the game on that day, would I be able to play with it? I bet it's just a simple mistake from the website's manager but I would be more than happy to at least play with the single player mode before the official European release date which is a few days after the North American one. I'm only asking this because I don't wanna get into trouble if the game is gonna have a release date checker or sth like that. :)

You won't get in trouble, but you won't get to play it either. As far as I know you have to unlock the game online anyway, so you wouldn't be able to do that before the official release date.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Well than I just hope I'm gonna be able to pick it up on monday, and I'm only gonna try installing it on tuesday although that's still not the European release date but whatever. :D

So I was one of the luckier ones after all I guess who could buy the game earlier and in my case put it into it's special place but here's the thing:
I was thinking whether or not I should try installing the game now but decided to go with the latter. I mean I'm like many others who have been waiting for this game for such a long time, than why couldn't we wait for one or in case of Europe 3 more days and honour Crytek with sticking to what day they wanted as a release date in the first place? Just saying. :)
(...and don't get me wrong, I Am eager to finally install it and actually play it!)

Btw thumbs up Crytek for the nice touch on the limited edition's box! :)
