I've been waiting since the 24th Feb date got put back to the 3rd March for us here in the UK. Now things get exciting! Friday fast approaches and having just checked my Play.com (Online UK retailer) account, I find my order now states 'Processing' Woo Hoo!

Which means that its only a matter of time before I receive my confirmation email telling me GC2 has shipped which should mean I'll have it on Friday for a mamoth session in front of the PC after work, oh no, wait, I'm informed by the wife that we have been invited out for the night for her mother's retirement party, so depending on how much lager I drink will depend on how capable I am at building my galactic empire!

Not to worry, there is always Saturday!
P.S. Can us here in England enter the T-Shirt Comp?
I've noticed from some of the current fan photo's that in the US you get your PC games in cardboard boxes? All the PC games over here now only come in DVD style boxes, which makes storage 1000% easier as they are all the same size, plus its kind of more streamlined. As for the Collectors Edition of GC2 we get it in a 'Steel Book' DVD format box, the same as Resident Evil 4 on PS2 and the Special Editions of Total Recall and Duel movies.
Regards.
