Coddies have assured Barmyarmy that release date and official trailer will be out this week
No such thing as assurances in this business just high probabilities.

It's not actually. If it will be released during the Ashes , they won't get much attraction because people would prefer to watch Ashes rather than playing a game but if they will release it at the end or near the end of series than it will attract people as people won't be having any other way to experience Ashes rather than playing a high quality cricket game.
Well that's not the reason. I don't think so their marketing is dull. Its just those licensing limitations which has hold these promotions.
To be fair; the lack of release date is probably nothing to do with Codemasters. I think Lazy Chesnut mentioned somewhere that the publishers were having to run everything through Microsoft and Sony. I worked on a project, a couple of years ago, for a Texas Instruments platform. We had to get everything signed off by Texas. It was a real pain in the backside. I imagine having to do the same with two of the world?s biggest corparations would be a complete nightmare.
I don?t, for one minute, imagine that Codies have decided that realeasing the game late, and not really giving anyone any information about it would improve the sales figures. They are probably waiting for some bloke, in some grubby little room at Sony towers, to un-plug the toaster and plug his PS3 back in.
You know i watched that interview with jamie firth today and im not convinced that he knows alot about cricket at all.
If the codemasters want to let the world know about the game, I think the 2nd test match at lord's is the best time to atleast announce the game. As they have already tied up with ECB and CA, they should have a grand preview during lunch time. Not sure whether television rights interfere here but the build up to the ashes has been great and after the first test match being such a thriller, there will be tremendous anticipation for the 2nd test and what better venue to present the game before the world than Lord's. I am sure there are lots of general people who might not even have a clue at present about this game. The release date (assuming 7th Aug) is not very far now and a grand preview would do no harm.
They should get Beefy and Warne to have a five-over blast during Lunch...
Hi guys may be not a greatest of info, but the official coddies website have a TAB for pre order for AC2009 now. Maybe we may get some info today or hopefully before the 2nd test.
Yes that is a very good sign indicating the release is just around the corner somewhere. Pre-ordering in a month's gap seems logical too.

I kind of got that feeling too, but I didn't say anything cause I thought it was a bit harsh. Ah well, I'm probably wrong.
