CS: GO Pre-orders and release date announced!
For the Counter-Strike fans among you comes some exciting news! Valve has announced the official release dates and pre-order starting dates on the official CS blog.
Starting sometime today (usually 6 PM GMT), CS:GO will be pre-orderable on Steam and 7 days from now on the PSN store. CS:GO will launch on the 21st of August 2012 across all platforms (PC, Xbox 360 and PS3).
The CS:GO beta has been running now for about 6 months already and I have received mixed opinions about it from everyone I have spoken to. I was also fortunate enough to get beta access to it roughly 3 months ago and am definitely looking forward to trying the full game when it launches on the 21st.

Interesting to note that, without sales, CS:GO is launching at a cheaper base price than CS:S.

Pre-order is already available, together with a CS complete pack sale.

@Demiourgos in the current state it's nothing like CSS. As a fan of CSS I actually felt like CS:GO was more like CS 1.6. But nothing like CSS :P

It's nothing like a CS 1.6 fan was expecting. All the people I know complain that it's just another CS Source.

Counter Strike in my opinion paved the way for the FPS genre. Looking forward to having a whirl on this when it's released.

I've never actually played a counterstrike game, so I will be getting this one to introduce myself to the series.
