I've just Spoken to Several companies including Amazon.co.uk, Shop To and Gameplay.

Amazon.co.uk stated to check back in middle of Feb, As they are waiting for supply numbers to be confimed by Ubisoft.

Shop To Stated they will be stocking it and its on their list of games coming out, But still waiting for Ubisoft to confirm how much stock they are getting.

Gameplay, Have never heard of it. God bless them ;)

I have also sent an Email to Ubisoft asking if they are stocking the game elsewhere or if its exclusive to them, Hopefully I'll get an answer soon.

The general impression im getting is YES its coming out elsewhere but proberly not till middle of Feb. Seems like Ubisoft are dragging their heels getting the info out to other companies. Still, we still have 2 months before the scramble, we dont need to start panicing just yet. :)

Hope that helps. last thing we want is people ordering from places noones ever heard of and getting scammed.

Thanks Cowboy! When I checked with Amazon a few days ago they had no idea about it,so hopefully the penny has dropped with all the 'il2:cliffs of Dover' hits in their search engine!

Uther, did you check the language of the collector's box items? If UBI translated them into German I don't think they are of much value to our english-speaking comrades.
Usually Ubisoft offers a fully localized version of each of its games for the german market, therefore I suspect the advertised version on Amazon.de has at least the printed 150-page manual as german-only version. (the game itself and the installer will certainly contain multi-language options like Il-2).
What I'm mostly interested to know about is: Have they also localized the Spitfire-handbook?

so, i went today to gamestop italy and the guy there told me that they have the game ready to be inserted to their upcoming games, however he has no further details for Collector's edition, he is moslty sure about that they will have it for retail, meaning not only for download, he told me that it will be sure at the end of the month.

OK Ubisoft finally got in contact with me, Telling me to contact Ubishop instead as its a question about an order with them. Damn Customer Service didnt even read the question. I did try calling Ubishop for an answer, who surprise surprise would only answer questions on their own stock, and had no idea if Ubisoft was going to stock elsewhere, telling me I should call them, Which is what I tried to do in the first place. :evil:

On the positive note, The lady at Ubishop did confirm there policy is not to send out until the product is released which means you WILL NOT get it for the release date. So at least that means I know there is no way Im pre ordering from there :)

Just sent yet another email to customer service, Stating my question is with Them and not Ubishop, As to whether i get an answer, Well Im not holding my breath, Not many things in life are certain, apart from Ubisoft customer service being crap.

Fingers crossed I may have an answer for you all Before the sim is out.

Hey ytareh: Your link is dead. Is the site viewable in english btw? If so could you repost the correct link? Thanks.

wow! I didn't even find out what shipping charges to the USA are, and just at the exchange rate to USD it is around $90.00.. so add shipping, if any , plus the shipping time is about 29 days..

just wait until UBI stops dicking around or Amazon.com here in the USA..
