Here is a scoop of it:

GameSpyDaily has learned that EA Pacific’s highly anticipated RTS for the PC — Command & Conquer Generals — has been strategically delayed until February of next year. Now set to ship on February 11, 2003, EA attributed the reason for the delay to its strong lineup of other titles from now until early 2003.

Yap, thats right UT2003 has gone gold. It will be out on shelves about 2 weeks later, can’t wait for it. Sure a great game with fantastic graphics. Here is the forum post about it:

Just before 5AM Eastern Standard Time this morning we shipped the release version of Unreal Tournament 2003 to manufacturing. It should be in production later today and in stores before the end of the month. We want to thank everyone on the forum for all of the valuable feedback. In the week since we shipped the demo we worked pretty much non-stop to squash a lot of bugs and incorporate some of the great feedback we got from players all around the world.

Just came back from Funan, got my copy of Warcraft 3, I thought there will not be so much people there as later on students need to go to school. To my surprise there are ALOT of people queueing already. There are 4 shops selling Warcraft 3, 1000 copies are available to a shop for today only, more stocks will be coming later in the afternoon. You need to register at the counter to get a sticker, there is no limit to how many stickers a person can take. Each sticker is enittled to only 1 game.

Lucky for me, I got the Human box, those who get the Orcs box not really lucky from my POV, as the Orcs box is the default design for Warcraft 3 box. Channel News Asia team was there also, interviewing people and fliming the scene, 2 or 3 of the people which was interviewed was very closed to me, lucky I was not interviewed. Hehe 🙂
