Guys thanks a lot for the thorough explanation. You always learn something till the day you die!Stelios

Hi there,Check out simw.com , it's had release dates on there for about a week now and claims these are confirmed by Microsoft!!!Although, historically simware have been notorious for giving misleading release dates, when it came to their speculated date, it would be moved by a number of weeks??Who knows when it will be released, i suppose time will tell!!!Kind RegardsJames

The release date is October 17th. It has been posted for several weeks at EB and Amazon among others. They do not just make up these dates or guess weeks in advance as several here have suggested. They get the dates from MSFT reps/distributors. If the developer is not going to hit the target date, then it changes. The date by the way, was confirmed by MS reps at the conference.
