As an FYI - The actual game has been released. It shipped yesterday, and depending on geography, stores are already receiving it.

I live in RI, and copies have already made it to my local store. (Guess where I am going on lunch!) Check with your favorite software store to see if you have it yet too!

Also of note, there is already a patch for the game to give it the fixes that went into the demo patch.

Good luck,
-Greg

FEDEX says mine is on the doorstep. (Don't even try to get my copy!!!) I too will be worthless this weekend.
I have DSL but it may be too slow UL speed to host a game (128). I will try with the full version tonight and post here if I am successful. Unless of course fusto has started a full version server...

Ok, that's it. I'm going to buy it on my way home tonight. Got me spending money. PSHH!

Edit:
Err. I forgot it's not out until Friday. SO, I guess I'll be picking it up then.

There aren't any stores that actually have it on the shelves yet, are there? I was planning on just buying it on Friday, that's why I didn't Pre-Order, but if I can buy it earlier, I definitely will. The release date (I thought) was the 14th, but some places are saying the 13th, and other people that have Pre-Ordered have already got it. Damn it, I should've just ordered it. Maybe I'll do that now and, just so I can play it until then, download an ISO from easynews. ...And that will become my back-up when I get the game. Same thing I did with Warcraft III. :P

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but do you have any pictures on how the MAME cabinet is coming along?

Re: BF1942 - Specialty stores like EB will have it in stock today... even if you DID NOT pre-order. I didn't

Re: MAME cab. I'm going to start a thread on it as soon as i get my site up. I am in the planning stages. I picked up a Mortal Kombat cabinet with 27" VGA monitor last weekend at the arcade convention in San Jose for $350 in damn good shape. I've got to put together the PC and control board, do a few touch ups on the cabinet and i'll be there. I'm going to chronicle the whole thing weblog style, which i'll link to when it's up, probably Monday or so. I've done a good bit of research on the control panel and interface so far, but there's so much too learn it may take me a while to decide on what interface to use. I'll keep you guys posted... i'm jumping out of my skin to get it running! So many decisions to make!

/me pictures an MK cabinet bungee-corded to the top of Loren's Rice Racer, trying to make it home in one piece.

Wow, thats $150 less then I paid for my 27 inch VGA monitor, and that was without an arcade cabinet. Then again, that included UPS shipping.

I guess thats something that I can use my monitor for once I get a better TV. Glad to know there are arcade cabinets that will accompany it.

Excellent! Thanks fusto for hosting a server for us. I get a consistent 80 ping when I'm on it, but I've never seen more than 4 ppl at one time on it...
I'll be there tonight if I ever get out of work...

I set it up with Battle of the Bilge conquest style.
I can add other maps, and games if anybody wants.

Does upgrading the server deny people using the demo?
If so, sorry...

Very likely, especially if you've set it to a different map than the one included in the demo.

Yes it does prevent the demo folk. You have to run them as seperate servers.

PS... there's a 1.1 patch out for the retail version as well. Damn crunch time!! not being able to play it is torture... that little tank on the cover is tormenting me....

just to clarify... it's an Arcade monitor... not a PC monitor. Still figuring out what the difference is... but so far i know that the refresh is SUPER low... like 15khz, and the res is pretty low on arcade monitors.

It's the real deal Mortal Kombat cabinet with the Jamma board and all and it's in pretty awesome condition for being 10 years old. The monitor was definitely the best part of the buy... they wanted $600 at least for any other cabinets with 27 inchers in them. You can get some of the old NBA 4 player cabinets for pretty cheap with 27 inch monitors. They had one for $450. If anyone is interested i could put you in touch with the folks.

Yeah, knowing I'll be here late, then get home, feed the dogs and install the Game of the Year (it's gotta be) and stay up till 2AM only to come back and work all day till dark then repeat the cycle...

The good thing is I don't have it in front of me, it's at home on the doorstep so the tank does not torment me... But I will shoot the tank when I get home for you Loren...

Just finished with 2 hours of playing with Fusto, DaveC, and BAKup. I may show back up. But it will be for a short time. I went to look for the sub. Anyone figured out what board that is on??

I had a blast, then moved over to one of the EA public servers, and was on the same map...That is a big...No a huuuuge map. Don't bother trying to walk across it, the game will be over by the time you get there

I'm going to to bed Have to go to work tomorrow...Have to move several computers from the Gallera area down to Clear Lake.

EB generally have no idea when stuff's due out.

However, in this case, they appear to be correct, play.com (where I sometimes buy my games) is listing the same date.

Yeah, if you've only played the demo of Wake Island, the full version maps are like moving from Rhode Island to Texas...
