The last two years, it's been October 15th and 8th. I doubt they'll push it back to November this year.

Just to be clear, that date is confirmed only for the UK. Fifa Soccer Blog reports the US release will be Tuesday, October 20th. I can't access most of EA's websites due to a work firewall (and all today's info from the gaming sites nevermind, thanks teambayern!), but it sounds like us Yanks will have to wait it out for a fortnight and change...

Yeah, when I was buying NCAA yesterday Gamestop had it targeted for release on 10/13 so who knows when it will come out.

I'll just set up a tent outside the store from 10/2 to 10/20. Seems the only reasonable thing to do...

I knew I shouldn't have got excited.

However, it makes sense, given that I don't recall a videogame coming out on a Friday in the states in a long time.

The other thing I'm already dreading, it seems like most Gamestops never have FIFA
the day it's released, but usually several days after.
