Has anyone seen it? I certainly haven't.

But the review is very recent. Does this mean that the U.K. release date WAS 24th November and it just hasn't been distributed to the shelves yet? This possibility was suggested by 'Anatolia' in another thread.

I'm going to be keeping a close eye on my local Game Store and Electronics Boutique just in case this is so.

I would guess that if euro distributors have the game in hand that you could just ask Electronics Boutique when they will have it in stock and get a solid answer, at least that was the case here in the U.S. a few days before the release of the game.

I have already asked our local Electronics Boutique when CTP2 is out, and they thought it was the 8th December, but with so many sources saying it's already out I'm tempted to think that this date may not be Gospel.

I'll go in to our local E.B. store again during the week to keep tabs on the date.

The whole problem is, us Brits are getting confused signals from Activision. Is it out in the U.K. now, and almost ready for the shelves, or will we have to wait until 8th Dec?

And if so, why? The U.S.A. speaks our language, and our keyboard is only slightly different for the U.S. one. It's not as if they have to translate the manual into Azeri or Vietnamese or whatever.

And you're right, Activision really does need to make a definitive statement as to european release dates. It's not as if this should be some dark secret.
