An observant reader in the IMG forums noted that the Mac version of World War II Online is now available for preorder at EB World. While they list the game as becoming available July 10, keep in mind Cornered Rat and publisher Strategy First have told IMG that date might get pushed back by a week at least. The game lists for a price of $40, and will cost $10 a month to play once your initial 30-day trial is past. This fee will not be collected, though, until Strategy First decides the game is stable enough to 'start the clock' for pay-to-play.

While World War II Online has had its issues since the rocky PC release, their servers are reported to be much more stable now. They're working to increase performance on systems, but keep in mind the game will take as much RAM as you can throw at it. If you're anxious to get your copy fast, be sure to get your preorders in now.
