If i can have this game for xmas i will give rest of my presents to poor childred.

It would be nice if this game would just get out of 'in development'…

just purchased it on ebay…

I think the US eBay item is still pre-order only.

Interestingly I had this on pre-order from the UK Amazon site with the item being sold by Amazon direct (not a 3rd party seller).

I've just received an email saying:

Hello,

You may visit the product detail page(s) above to see if these item(s) are available from other sellers.

This could well be that its taking a while and Amazon have removed it for the time being…

Q1 2013 is now looking more like End March/April. In time for Easter ;)
