In case you're looking for Galactic Civ. in the DC area, I've called around to every chain that's listed on the release announcement and no one has any copies yet (Best Buy couldn't even find it in their system).
If by chance a fellow Washintonian turns up a store I missed, would you please post here so we can all descend like locusts? The Walmart rep I spoke with has been called by folks all morning.
Definitely a good sign for Stardock's bottom line.
I'll just have to soothe my pain with the mild balm of Empire at War or just look hungrily at the mailbox for my pre-order to arrive.
