All pre-orders shipped Thursday. That means everybody who either pre-ordered a CD copy directly from us or ordered a CD though about noon Thursday.

Orders from the last 24 hours (since noon Thursday) were shipped out this afternoon. 

Any orders since ~2pm EST on Thursday are for the CD + the download links for the Political Operatives Kit. You cannot download the standalone game like the people who pre-ordered, so you must wait for the CD to arrive to install. Your serial number for the Political Operatives Kit installer (linked with your order) will not work in Stardock Central. I'll have SDC modified to explain that.

In the context of the last couple of posts here, having checked the order records, that means Chappy44 and ggibas, you have to wait for the CD's to arrive.

Repub and sgtfury, you can download it. sgtfury, if you're having problems, please contact support@stardock.com. Are you following the directions at http://totalgaming.stardock.com/games/pmachine_helpDL.asp ?

Called the local EB store yet again today, finally got someone competent on the line. He said the game was no longer on their list of games to be received and he had no idea when they would be getting it in.

Every other "release date" I've ever seen has been the day the game was in stores - I think saying August 10th was dishonest at best, but what can you expect from a game entitled "Political Machine?" The spin regarding the release is certainly reflective of American politics today.

I just got back from the local Best Buy here in Lansing, Michigan and they had quite a few copies of the game. It's installing on my computer as I type this message.

I called EB today, and like was just said, they said it was off the coming soon list, was on the way, and should be on the shelves early-mid next week.

I'll call back everyday until then

So you're one of "those" customers who likes to call everyday... As someone who works in retail I must tell you how annoying us employees think that is, and how rude it is. I especially hate it when people complain over the phone about slow service, it's like, hey, we're taking care of customers who cared enough to actually come down to the store so phone people come second. Well I am done with my rant. I really hope you don't call them on a daily basis and it was a joke (which I assume due to the smiley).

Thanks for listening.

Is it shipping by UPS or did you just mail the games? If you just mailed them are they priority mail or what?

As someone else who works in retail and has for many years, I must tell you that I was only kidding I did call back again today, and they said it was shipping to them and they would have it out tomorrow. But as I see Big Bad Bear just got it at Best Buy I may call them and see if they've got it and go pick it up right now

Didn't have time to get to Best Buy before I got off work, but I stopped by Wal-Mart, and they had it.

Installing now, can't wait to try it out!
