People still celebrate rememberance day?
OT: well wait an extra day ( since you don't have a choice) and avoid the internet likethe plague to avoid spoilers . Who wants to bet someone in going to finish the main quest on day one and post it on youtube?

Yeah this is pretty lame. I'm considering ordering it on Amazon but I don't want to end up getting it even later so I'll probably just have to suck it up (read: sob profusely) and get it on Saturday. Or maybe I'll just spend the 11th driving around looking for an open store. There has to be one. There has to be!
This is America, so "holidays" translate to "excuse to get drunk and have sales", so nope, store are always open, and nobody cares to remember anything.
I thought this was a little odd also. I pre-ordered though so I won't be receiving the game in the mail until a couple of days later. It's no big deal for me considering I need to upgrade my specs before then so I can play it on ultra.
As no one has pointed out, we do celebrate that date in the US under the moniker of "Veteran's Day," complete with a moment of silence at 11:11 AM. Granted, I don't think its seen as quite as important, but it's still a federal holiday (meaning all the states must recognize it).
As for why Skyrim is coming out on that day, probably because 11.11.11 just looks cool and it's really not that big of a deal (even if a game came out here on July 4th, I don't think anyone would really mind).

It's veteran's day here on that date but it doesn't really matter, don't think any stores will be closed. Also in Canada if you have a good PC then Steam will be open as always. Besides, 11/11/11 only happens once every hundred years, so I say celebrate rememberence day the other 99 but this year celebrate Skyrim.
So... Umm... where in Canada is 11/11 a statutory holiday? I live in Ontario, and I certainly don't have that day off.
Hey, uhh... World War II Veterans? Yeah, I know you fought for our country, watching brothers and comrades die, fearing for your life at every turn, dodging bullets and explosive shells, all so that I could live in a free country and all... but come on! 11/11/11 won't happen again for, like, 100 years! So, uh... yeah, I'm gonna ignore you this year, and play video-games instead.Xan Krieger said:

I wasnt aware you guys had a holiday on it so...
Hey, don't fret. Zellers is open 9-9, even on statutory holidays (Christmas is the only exception) for your shopping convenience. Ugh...
Not that Zellers has the greatest variety in games and they usually don't receive new releases right on the release day, buuuut give it a shot I guess.

Its the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year; its an odd date, so whether or not it coincides with a holiday probably was the last thing on their minds.
