Hmmm, got mine from BestBuy. I'm not going to make a huge deal about getting it though, I'll just drop by after class that day to get it.

Yes, to pick up the game you either need ID proving your old enough or someone who is.

(Edit: I'm in the US, other countries laws may vary.)

Not sure about how it works over where you live? But I always figured that those numbers were just a recomended age to play.
That is at least what my friend keeps telling me. But then again? I'm 18 and look like I'm 20 and when I bought Crysis 2 they wanted to see my Id card...

Made me feel young again :wink:

I was carded only once when buying a game. Which was a bit odd, since I was over 30 at the time. Then again, my genetics ensure that I will always look 10 years younger than I actually am, so that's no real surprise.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Funny how that seems to be the opposite with me... Enjoy it while it lasts >.<

What really? Don't you have a pc you could play on? Or maybe you could try to replace your Xbox?

As I wake up in the evening (6:00pm) and go to bed in the morning (around 9:00am) it's just as natural for me to pick up a game at midnight as it is for anyone else to pick one up at midday :)

Guess what I'll be doing :D

Hopefully, pre-order with delivery. That is provided that I can sort a few things out in the next couple of days. If not, I'll pick it up a week or two later, seeing as I have exams the following week, and VCE overrules Skyrim in importance.

Probably in a place where Remembrance Day (CAD) or Veteran's Day (US) is a stat holiday..

Nice! Only some of the provinces in Canada have it as an actual day off, and unfortunately Ontario (mine) isn't one of them. Yet they still call it a holiday... Very bizarre.

My brother and I pre-ordered using Amazon months ago. Hopeful it will arrive some time on the eleventh provided the blasted FedEx guy can find my bloody house for once. :roll:

And I'm getting it Friday, if I can get it Friday. I won't be able to play it yet, but at least I'll have the game! And otherwise I'll get it Saturday. GOd, I'd wake up at 9 to be the first to enter the shop, just to be sure of my copy. :D
