xer0er Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 And this is the start of Australian and New Zealand fans getting f*cked on all over the world. It's a pity considering the Special Edition is now sold out everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDR Midian Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'd just go with the standard version if I were you. It's a shame, but you'll get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thescorpionx Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Sucks that they just "remembered" to tell you that. If they knew they didnt ship over 1kg internationaly, why did they take the order...sucks for you man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 with the amount of pre-orders, they actually proabably ran out and didnt tell you, instead blaming it on the weight. pile of bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltrane's Muse Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The standard edition is your sole decision now. There's little more than a week remaining prior to the title's international release; you'd do well to request a copy of the game -- by its lonesome -- as soon as humanly possible. So you won't receive a snazzy artbook or a truncated soundtrack. Those will eventually be leaked, anyway, so you'll be seeing them in due time.

cowbringer Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Just show up early to a midnight release if you want a the SE that bad. thats what i'm doing unfortunately the only store in my town is a wal-mart but they've already confirmed they have both the standard and se so its just a matter of me and my buddy getting there first.

Jonny2410 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Why did you order from game.co.uk if you live thousands of miles away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Midian Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Why did you order from game.co.uk if you live thousands of miles away? Cause Australia and New Zealand have the censored version so lots of people are importing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seachmall Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Why did you order from game.co.uk if you live thousands of miles away? Because I live a half an hour away? I could fly there in a half an hour, not exactly thousands of miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get it divided up it'll only be an extra £9, its the only option they have and its only a f*cking kilo. Why can't they ship a kilo?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browny91 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 If they have it actually on the site in FAQ part or w/e then you cant say anything really... it isnt there fault if it is there policy, and saying "could of told me sooner" is rubbish as they have only just started receiving the copies therefore how on earth could they tell it was over 1kg if they hadnt even had it to weigh it...

ishouldntbehere Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 well you should atleast email someone there or better yet call, and be a total ass for having them dick you over like that and maybe theyll give you a little discount or credit on your account.

They mighten'd have known the weight but how was I to know when I preordered over a month ago? I'm sure they could have easily found out before today. I know noone is at fault but hopefully they'll split it, not holding my breath though. The SE can't be got in Ireland at such a late date and most places online are already booked-up. How long will the SE be on shelfs for? I might just wait till after release to get it, I want the SE more then I want it on the release date If you live a half hour away, DRIVE over and pick it up, I would. 1/2 hour flight. I live in a seperate country and on a seperate Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
