Anyone pre-ordered PS yet?

[TG_NightHawk]

Bah...never had a prob yet! Trust me...you will be glad you pre-ordered/reserved your copy. Gamestop has already recieved a tremendous amount of pre-orders, gives them an idea of how many they will be able to put out...probably won't be able to walk in & grab a copy right off the shelf, Sold out is the answer you will get! GOT MINE

If you really want a good scoop a month early go to EB worlds site and order the stragity guide that is comming out a month earler in Febuary.

Haven't pre-ordered mine yet. Who knows, maybe i'll get into beta and get a deal on ordering it. Hamma will most likely get it free

Yup...that's what I said! Check it: http://www.gamestop.com/search.asp?s...ord=planetside

if you pre-ordered from ebworld.com you'll be fine...they usually ship new releases out a day early...meaning you'll get it in the mail the day it might start popping up in *some* of the stores (if you do next day air of course)

ebworld.com says Pre-Release ETA: 3/14/2003, but Gamestop.com says Pre-Release ETA: 3/4/2003. I hope I don't get mine 10 days later...

They put import taxes on computer games? They don't even do that in the US I don't think...

As a fellow UK'er, I can say yeah, our government taxes EVERYTHING to a huge amount, which is why our electronics/computer components generally cost 25% more than yours . For example, i bought 3 $11 dvd's from amazon.com, and I had to pay an extra $15 when they arrived, to nobody. It's awful.


I don't plan on importing planetside, normally games don't take too long to get released over here. Unless it goes the route of DAoC, which had seperate european servers and USA servers, which was the worst idea anyone could think of. We only had access to 2 servers that were english language

If that's what we get with planetside, i'll buy an american copy when i'm next over there I think. I don't want to have to import

[Zatrais]

I havn't preordered yet cause i don't know what kind of release they're doing. If they're doing the old kind, releasing in the U.S first then the rest o the world it would suck for me =/. I'm hoping they do what most big games do now and do a world wide release at the same day =)

Do not put any confidence in those dates, they are pure estimates on the part of ebworld and Gamestop.. They sound like good estimates heh.

The true date comes when dave says "Planetside has gone gold" at that point its off to the factory for duplication. Which typicly takes 2 or so weeks - then we know a true date

[CDaws]

From what I've read in the gaming magazines and on the game sites I visit most of them vary from early to mid March. Darn you Hamma the gold edition will be better.

Planetside is released in the UK in April of 2003..!
