WHAT!!!!! i can't wait! why they move that release? i thought its gonna be Oct. 7th?

It might be better this way, now Darko might be in the game. A week won't kill me especailly if players are now in the game that weren't if they released it later

Hi, Andrew.

Here are some dates I found today.

GPstore.com.au: OCT 09 (Looks like a pre-delay date)

blockbuster.com.au: expected 31st October 2003 (ouch )
topship.com.au: Expected Release Date 31st October 2003 (ouch ouch)

31st October seems like a stable date as of now.. ( )

[Andrew]

I think we'll call October 31st the release date for Australia for now. I'd say the date will be the same for New Zealand. Thanks chipper, the list has been updated.

In the new BEST BUY paper that I got...

I live in London, ontario, Canada (150 km from Toronto)

They're extremely pushing EA Sports with Fifa and NHL, Madden, and NBA.

I don't wanna get the actual paper out, but it says something alongs the lines of With your 10$ deposit, you'll be able to buy Nba Live 2004 first on [b]October 9[/b], and receive a free Ea Sports hat ($10 value).

Austria:

JohnnyKnoxville has informed us that the current release date for Austria is October 24th.

Apparently the release date has been pushed back here in Austria as well.

Both Amazon.at and dschungel.com now list November 7 as the release date; amazon.de (Germany) has the same date listed, so this probably applies to all German speaking countries.

Live 2004 will be in stores on 16 Oct in Hong Kong-I was told by the staff of a gamestore in golden center(<HK people will know what it is ).

But I really doubt if the date is true, as I was cheated by this staff several times before

I think the best thing to do is make friends at a video game store and get the game a couple days early...

NBA Street 2 was released on a Tuesday I think at the end of one of the months, I can't remember. But I got it on the Friday before at an Electronics Boutique I go to regularly.

Andrew, Gamestop has the PC version coming out on the 7th, while the console versions coming out on the 14th. In the past Gamestop's date has usually been pretty accurate. Any word?

Hi all!
Andrew, I've read your post and went to my local EB today, and asked bout the PC version....they said it would be released early November...(Australia)....does this affect anything in this thread...and can u confirm it?

Also...they said PC version will be $69.95- I heard someone say they will buy it for $55- can someone tell me where, if this is true?

[Andrew]

Well, two different Australian stores have reported two different dates. I guess you could say it will be available here anytime after October 31st.
