Guarrand, consummate joker, posted this thread indicating that Best Buy sent him a note that Homeworld 2 would be in stores today or tomorrow. Warhampster, had previously posted that his best buy was indicating something similar.
I think it is not likely to be in, but there is a chance! IF Sierra had lined up pressing and packaging for the US/Canadian version to go as soon as the game was gold, IF they were not going to do a more syncronized world wide shipment of the game, and IF nothing else is standing in it’s way, then theoretically it could be on shelves today or tomorrow. If someone shows up with a picture of a legit HW2 CD (with visible reciept), either today or tomorrow or this weekend, they will get a 4×16 Relic Bumper Sticker mailed to them by me. Bonus points if you get pictures of a box of HW2 boxes.
So, there is only one option for the fans. Call your local supplier, and ask them when Homeworld 2 is going to be on shelves. Pick the nicest store you call, and pre-order from them (if you have not already). If the game is not there, but a bunch of folks call, then perhaps it will make the retailer pay more attention to the game.
Oh, and EB Games has Homeworld 2 advertised at 44.99. If you are a hardcore collector of HW merchandise, you may be excited to know that you also get a keychain with your pre-order.
