Checked at the gamestop here in my town (College Station) as well as the Gamestop's in Houston.. and none of them have Galactic Civilizations II in their computer.. which means they cannot do preorders.
EB in Houston has it in their computer.. the Gamestop Webpage has it for preorder.. but the actual Gamestop stores... no dice.
Just thought I would let yall know in case there was some fopah somewhere that was keeping Gamestop from carrying the game.
