… Before It Goes Live

The cyberworld for the past 24 hours has been buzzing with chatter, the topic? MONOPOLY City Streets. And the official blog posted information and updates one after another.

Today is September 9^th in most parts of the world already and I am sure that people are already hammering their F5 Keys to refresh the official website so they can buy their streets and start building their empire.

Update 8:05pm ACT: The game is now LIVE! Just click www.monopolycitystreets.com to play.
