Civilisation IV out in a few days in the UK

Well, it's a good job I'm on holiday just now and that my computer is with me. I've got more than enough gaming to keep me going between all the other stuff getting packed in the day. To make things worse, Civilization IV is out very soon, and depending on where you purchase it, it could be in your hands by the weekend! Game have the release date listed as 4th November. Tesco (who can be quite cheap for games) and Play.com have indicated an earlier date - the 28th - and it's £10 cheaper on Play than Game. Taking free postage into account from Jersey, I'll be surprised if the game is with me by the weekend.

There are not enough hours in the day.
