Well.... for the problems with the description and all, at least the box are looks real nice. I can definately see non-ac people seeing that box cover and thinking something like "ooo, whats up with this blue dude?"

basicly we the none US players get screwed over yet again, just like we do with Hollywood. im guessing its going to be down to clan member to export it for US, or even a trip to the US to get it. (i could use a holiday mind you :) )

I like the effort Peter Jackson put into getting LotR Global release, there is a man with Vision, good working ethics and knows what the public want. unlike others that could be mentioned.

Gamestop will ship internationally.

Gamestop were completely useless for my last three purchases. None arrived in less than three weeks, all had insane postage and one had clearly been opened before I received it. I ended up returning all three and referencing the delay etc. Apparently thats a fairly common experience talking to people. Needless to say having the game arrive well after the Xpac goes live is stupid, paying $50+ just for the postage is adding insult to injury.

Hopefully, Jessica will manage to sort out the "outside US" delivery.

Well hopefully it will be in a store near you close to the release date. Sony's claws reach pretty far, especially for a new release.

I remember a few years back I wanted a second copy of AC:DM. Since the game had been released a while back and long forgotten by retailers, I couldn't find it for love or money in my place of residence Australia. I ended up buying through Amazon shipped to a friend in the U.S. who on-shipped it to me.

So yes, there's definately a gap in the market there for a good international shipper. Anyone?

Just do as I do for my friend in germany.

When a game comes out he wants but it's not released right away in Europe. He paypal's me the moeny I goto the store with my Paypal Mastercard get the item. Come home either send him ISO's of the CD's and isntant message the Cdkey to him or I will ship it over to him minus all the extra stuff.

Heh.. I was one of, if not THE, first person to obtain ACDM... And guess where I am? Australia!! :p If anyone remembers? lol.. About 2 days before the US.

That is a VERY one off thing though, it was cuz their supplier some how had 6 copies shipped to them by mistake. Australia wasnt meant to get it so soon. I remember a few american's complaining, but I get sick of waiting so long for this stuff. It cost $89 US dollars to get the original AC shipped from America, Via Fedex, Via a good friend, NOT including the game price of $49.99 US dollars!

While I do not expect this to happen for ACTD, I do hope there is some way to obtain the game in my geographic location, with the shiney box. (like give CD key + download link and have the ability to pay shipping to get the CD + box shipped out.. I like boxes :) )

Probably won't happen because it will cut into Jolt's sales profits.

I realy hope that Turbine will not forget the Euro-players.

I have seen that CompUSA ship international, but I also have seen what I must pay for it :(

And...when will it arrive?

Please IBN give us some info about this
Now it feels like beeing a dog who see something really tasty and he cannot get it :mad:
