every single forum has a thread about it. Threads opened by storekeepers whose received a mail by distributors.

Voices say november 14th as the new possible release date.

geez i hope to god its not a detected bug !!
other than that my copy is payed for and guaranteed at game stop , so tough luck for those of u who waited the last minute to preorder one !
( i preordered mine the day i purchased mgs4 , was that june or july 12th i cant remember anymore!! damn u brain)

  This is stated in the OP. Although haven't people picked up the game already in the UK?

If this is a true delay, I feel bad for those who pre-ordered it in Europe.

the game itself isn't the problem, the suppliers are just cocking up. if a member of the forums already has a full retail version of the game then it's clear that the game has gone gold and has been shipped.

 That is where the issue is.

If the game has shipped and some have already picked it up, including some in this forum, how is there a delay?

I hear from many in other forums it is a stock issue.

I hate the word "delay", Europe has enough as it is. I live in the US and I hate delays, I could only imagine what it is like for those in Europe. Here is me hoping it is stock and not delay.

im in the uk and i pre-ordered mine from play.com, i hope i dont get a dreaded email of delayage. play are sometimes early shipping on pre-orders. anyway glad i didnt pre-order from tesco if it is just tesco that are having supply issues

Amazon still says 24th as does Play.com so who knows
