Does anyone know where to get Age of Empires: Rise of Rome in the UK. I am told it might be in the shops "sometime towards the end of the year" or "maybe within a month or so". I am thinking of ordering from EBWorld as a result. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well I ordered it from EBWorld in the US, who stated it was on 24 hour delivery. 2 days later I got an e-mail saying it was on "backorder" whatever that means and they would ship as soon as they got it in. I responded asking for a date, saying I ordered only because they stated they had it in stock. Further investigation reveals Software Warehouse in the UK saying they expect it in by 12th November.

Well I suppose you, me and many others are getting the same grief.
BTW - Backorder means that the supplier is in the process of printing more, so your supplier holds your order in priority of when the order was placed and will ship it as soon as they get delivery. They won't be able to give you a date as it depends on their supplier.
