Portal 2 Release-Date fake ?

04-17-2011, 04:59 AM

Today morning i got an E-Mail from Amazon that the release date was changed from 21.April to 20.April. So Steam already changed the release date WITHOUT getting all the Potatoesack points ?!

The stores have already received Portal 2. Depending on when they deliver it is up to them I suppose. Maybe they realized they were able to ship it sooner than they thought.

The game is releasing 19th April in Denmark, and I suppose we are in the same timezones, you and I.

While you may get the game, it still won't be playable until it's released on Steam.

IIRC, NA and EU retail release dates have always been different.

Amazons release dates wouldn't have been effected by the ARG stuff, only steam pc copies would get the early release.

The Retail version doesn't get released early, just the Steam version.

valve always has global releases.. true they might delay their game, but in the end it always is released everywhere at the same moment ..that means in EST it may be 1pm .. while in UK theres 6pm

the steam release date is the 19th... so you're not getting your copy any earlier than a steam copy unlocks.
