| SWG: Release Date News (?) |
|
OK, OK, game retailers are not the most reliable source but not the most unreliable either  . I just received the following e-mail from <a href="http://www.ebgames.com" target="_blanK">EB</a> regarding my 'Star Wars: Galaxies' collector's edition order:<blockquote><em>Dear EBgames.com Customer,
<br>
<br>Thanks for pre-ordering from EBgames.com! As an added benefit to ordering from us, we'll keep you informed of ship date changes. We are writing to let you know that the publisher has set a new ship date for Star Wars Galaxies Collector's Edition of 6/23/03. As always, EBgames.com will not charge your credit card until we ship your order.

Dear EBgames.com Customer,
Thanks for pre-ordering from EBgames.com! As an added benefit to ordering from us, we'll keep you informed of ship date changes. We are writing to let you know that we have changed the projected ship date for EverQuest II to 6/14/03. The publisher did not provide us with a specific date so this is our best estimate only and should not be considered firm. We will update this date again as we receive new information. As always, EBgames.com will not charge your credit card until we ship your order. |

This is what the one and only source said in response to today's release date hype
quote:
Hey all -
I know you've been spotting some release dates for Star Wars Galaxies popping up in various places on the 'net. Just to give you the official word:
At E3 and in other communications with retailers, we've given them a rough timeframe for the launch of the product, but all of our messaging has been consistent with what we've been teling you, the community. In other words, no specific date has been mentioned, although we've told *everyone* that we're on track for a Summer 2003 release.
Retailers often need to post more concrete information (other than just a season or month). In our case, they've picked what they think is most likely, given what they saw at E3 and what they know about our successes in beta. If you look at Amazon, EB, Gamestop and other sites, they all have somewhat varying dates, although all are in the same range.
As far as we're concerned, the date is still unannounced, and is still just "Summer 2003," though we definitely have a target date that we're working towards internally as part of our development schedule.
I'll also point out that the date on StarWars.com is drawn automatically from Amazon.com, so the information actually came from Amazon rather than us. We haven't provided anyone with any official release date.
The official release date will appear here, at the official site ( www.starwarsgalaxies.com ), and you'll all be the first to know.

I checked out EB World on Everquest II and they have changed the release date to 6/14 but we know that its actual release time is more like December. |

Oops a correction

EB wrote another notice stating that the correct new release date is 6/14/04.
They made an error. |

Gamespot is reporting that the Lucas has delayed all the console versions of Star Wars: Galaxies indefinitely so the developer can focus solely on finishing the PC game. The full story is at www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/starwarsgalaxies/news_6028822.html .

Lucas should have done that in the first place.  |
