DaveyJJ Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The way I read it is the game will be shipped Thursday and the demo will be released yesterday. Round discs, patience for the demo, and now a time paradox? What are these crazy guys at BF thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtechno Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Well obviously the demo wasn't released yesterday (was it ?!? did I miss it!?!? lemme check.. whew no). But his statement is pretty strongly and accurately worded. Clear as day, check tomorrow and cancel or else you are screwed. Why would that be? Because we are shipping the following day (Thurs). He could have told him to check in the next couple days or in the next week, but he specifically told him he only has tomorrow to make up his mind !!!!

Rocky Balboa Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Could also mean that demo release is two days before tomorrow or the day before today with the actual release being three days after yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSj Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Or he could just have meant "do it ASAP", that is, don't wait several days or you might forget about it, do it tomorrow to make sure it gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadekster88 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 What do you mean, "make"? Have you checked out half of the people that post here? Crazy would be the polite term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have told him to check in the next couple days or in the next week, but he specifically told him he only has tomorrow to make up his mind !!!! Actually that isn't what he said. My advice is to get the information tomorrow and then make a decision. This should be easy information to get. You could find it online right now, probably. Your local Post Office won't likely know because (at least for most countries) the Post Office and Customs are two different government entities. Steve Once again we are trying to parse a statement, read into it what we want and figure out a release date. All Steve said was check tomorrow (because odds are they aren't open now unless you do it online) and then make a decision. No reference whatsoever that you need to do anything by X date though obviously if you want to cancel the sooner the better just in case it is released. Sorry if that is a downer but I have yet to see anything remoely resembling an actual release is imminent statement, though I do keep hoping for it. Edit: hhmmm perhaps I have to eat my words....... It doesn't quite say imminent, but it does imply it is very close. As others have said, the Demo's release will give you an indication of how much time you have for your decision. But I've already told you it isn't much time and so there's not much more I can tell you. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogCBrand Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 What do you mean, "make"? Have you checked out half of the people that post here? Crazy would be the polite term. Are you insinuating that just because half the people here wear Napoleon Bonaparte uniforms and have dreams of conquering Europe, they are not quite sane?

Sorry if that is a downer but I have yet to see anything remoely resembling an actual release is imminent statement, though I do keep hoping for it. That's precisely and exactly what he said. If there was a week before release, then he would have said "Go to them sometime in the next week and see what the deal is". But that ISN'T what he said. In fact, he went out of his way to say when you wake up "tomorrow", go straighten your stuff out. That heavily implies, without directly saying it, that tomorrow is the last day before release. Much like when we said "We thank Pakistan for its help in securing Osama" we were heavily implying that they were complicit in hiding him the whole time.
