    I said don't look here!
    woah! 2.99, I wasn't going to buy this game because I don't have 10 bucks and I thought it would be arround that, but 2.99 price will probably secure you my purchase,

    They said the week of the 21st not on the 21st, it was just recently submitted. It probably won't be out tonight or tomorrow.

    Hey - wish I had better news but I just checked and the game is still in review at Apple. I'm guessing that its taking longer than expected due to the amount of DLC we are launching with. It's also the first time we have done DLC or integrated with Scoreloop so it is possible they have found something...

    That's just me being negative - I'm sure all is well!

    Good point earlier - please spread the word to restart your device before playing ESPECIALLY if you have an iPhone 3G. We done extensive testing across all device/firmware configerations and everything except the iPhone 3G seems to be pretty bulletproof. The iPhone 3G does seem to throw the occasional crash when entering/exiting your house - this is solved by resetting your device before play first time. We will keep working on loading/saving optomisation for the first update but the biggest issue we have is that we have no idea what else is stuck in memory at the same time as Astro Ranch!

    I really hope you are right Kunning and we do have a hit... long way to go yet but signs are positive it will be a success. If it doesnt do well I don't want to think of the consequences... we have a lot riding on this one!

    Will let you all know the moment we have the green light.

    Cheers
    P

    Yeah, once again, Leave it to Tag to leave things so vague.

    after all the emails I received from these guys about the 'release' and other websites actually saying the 21st is the release date - Watch it get turned down.

    All I can say is this game better be worth every penny paid and every second of iPod Battery Juice spent to run it.

    Here TAG had me believing I would get it on the 21st, but NO - as usual with Astro Ranch, the damn wait continues.

    The last couple of games I have purchased that had dlc were in review for about a week. (puppet jump/catacombs). I hope this is not held up that long.
