    If you do find out this, will you tell me the prices for the Collector's Edition in, say, GAME?

    Play's pricing is a little cheaper that a d/l from steam (38e vs 50e) for standard edition.

    I love Civilization. I might not buy it though with the fear that I'd be throwing my life away once again.

    Well Gamestop and Xtravision told me they would not be stocking Civ V (collectors or otherwise). Seems a bit strange.

    £25 on amazon, why people keep buying from play is beyond me.

    So GAME are getting this in. They have no price yet and don't know what versions (reg, del, Collectors) they'll be getting.

    Loving the demo btw. Wish it was more than 100 turns :(

    So far it's

    Stocking Civ5
    Game

    Not stocking
    Gamestop
    Xtravision


    Anyone know if Smyths will be stocking it? I was tempted to get it on steam but as this needs steam anyway, I'd rather spend some euros in a shop (and get it a little cheaper)

    There seems to be mixed messages about Gamestop stocking Civ 5. Is it the standard edition or the Deluxe one? Considering it shouldn't be on shelves until Friday.

    All I know is that I asked Gamestop (in store) in Limerick would they be stocking Civilization V for PC. They said... No.

    So what do we think of it so far ? Played about 4 hours so far and love it. Plenty of little bugs (graphical) but nothing major. I'm new to civ so this is fresh meat :)

    Couldn't find it, infact I was lucky to get the game at all, Gamestop only had 3 copies left.
