I wonder if the clue is in Requiel's post where he says [XXXX] will not have stock until 1st April but other retailers will have it before?
Hmmmm, I wonder...
All I will say is that whilst Play.com is advertising it at £14.99 they will get my order for three copies, and if a high-street retailer is trying to hold things up then I say a pox on all their houses and let's all buy it on-line.
It is time the consumer bit back and reminded these high-street retailers that they are competing for our pound/euro/kroner/koruna/rouble and we will have the game when WE want it, not when they deem it appropriate for us to have it.
Power to the customer!!
power to the russians!

I know this might sound a bit no-brain, but why do EU got all the different language servers... if we had say 5 english and that was it we had alot of ppl playing each server, the patches would come much faster and everybody would be happy.

Because Mythic wanted to break into the European market with localised servers to maximise the potential players but didn't have the resources to do it themselves. So they looked for a European licensee as it's much cheaper to get French and German people to translate English than it is to get Americans to translate into French and German. Also fat licensing fees help a new company more than looking for investment to set up a European server/CS centre.

You need to learn what currency each of the countries in Europe use. Having said that it's alot easier than before
