Aussie REALEASE vs International Order

[Dovieye]

Hey just a simple question. But could be a difficult answer.

Anyway I was wondering Would I get the game quicker if I preordered it from SOE instead of waiting for it to hit the shelves in australia.

Not shore if its realeased the same day hear and when I will recieve the game if ordered.

I would like to think I would get it quicker if I order it but who knows these days.

I guess its already be mentioned and if it hasnt Im sure we got some aussies who will be eagar to know.

Thanks for your help.

If the game is released in stores on the 19th May you will likely get it quicker from your store. But if thats not guaranteed, and you cant find any info from the store, its probably safer to pre-order it. How much is the shipping from States to Ausland?

dunno probly heaps.

But I would pay if it is quicker.

I might have to enquire at some stores I know EBz is good and they have it on there website but it doesnt say if australia is any different.

depends dov, i've quit preordering games from the states as i simply refuse to pay the shipping fee, a fee that near effectivly doubles the price of the game.

where in oz are you? here in mel, there are a few stores around the centre that often bring in a dozen or more copies of the game depending on popularity before the oz release. the price mark up is often 10, no more then 20 oz bucks depending on how many copies they bring in, and its here near as fast as if you would have pre-ordered it. as opposed to nearly 35 yank bucks shipping fee.

best bet is find a store that has clerks who are game savy and are activly following titles in dev, and start harrasing them, and be sure to reserve a copy, nothing more annoying then convincing them to bring in a dozen copies, just to find that other punters who had no clue that the game was coming in early just happend to be there and bloody buy all the damn things.

When will it be realesed in australia? Also when will it be released in Europe? And can I just go to a comp game store and buy a game card for the game? Do they have that in the store? If not where can I get the game card?
sorry

Yer shipping fees is just an overkill.

I live in perth. I wrote an email to EBz so I'll find out. and reply here with the answer if I get one.

Game should be released in UK on 19th May according to Ubisoft the publisher for the UK.

Price for international order only goes up by $16 USD for shipping to the UK thats not a big shift in value.
