PTW Availability outside the US

[Beam]

This thread aims to help out all Fanatics living outside the US and who are eager to purchase PTW.

So if you have release and price information for your country please post it here. And posts that smell like advertisements most likely will have moderator attention.

There have been no PTW announcements at all in Holland afaik and Amazon-US does not ship games to Europe. PTW can be pre-ordered for $29,99 at EBGames with an additional $30 for shipping. There might be more alternatives as well.

 

[ERIKK]

All right,

from what I experienced I get the feeling that, usually, games gome earlier in the Uk than in the rest of Europe... I'll keep an eye out at the UK online retailers!

Paying 30 dollar extra at EB is just too much for me.

Are you Dutch?

Anyways, I was able to buy Civ3 more than a month after it was out in the US. I hope the date here will now be somewhere around the English date......

I got Civ3 (english version) nearly a week before the official european release date at Gamesclub in Vienna (see www.gamesclub.at). I'm quite sure they will get PTW some days earlier, too!

*hoqq*

PTW can be bought from the 22th November in Denmark for 218 kr (aprox 28 Euro) from realgames.dk

I will talk to the wonder guy q Mediamarkt (he got me US Civ3 within a week when it was officially sold out in Germany) about PTW tomorrow.

All those who live near Reutlingen / Germany might benefit from him, too.......

 

[Zcylen]

What might be important for players in other languages: the German version (that Infogrames probably will use for Austria as well) will include both the English and the German version of PTW. To our information PTW will install in the language that already is installed in Civ3.

This doubleversion-procedure might be similar in other countries that also had the official release of the US version in last year some months before the release of a localized version.

btw: if you can't wait for Nov. 21 (Euroeapn release dates) and have some more money to spend, you can play the US import already next week, as Okaysoft Germany has a special price until Oct. 31: http://www.okaysoft.de/PTW.HTM
