April 19 in the North America and March 24 in Europe ?
 

Why is the download version available only on April 19 in the US and Canada (UBISoft and Amazon.com) and March 24 in Europe ?

Its a little bit weird...

I agree it doesn't make any sense. Its not like they will be all downloading from the same server. I would imagine Canada would download from a Canadian UBI Server...etc Even if countries were downloading from the same server it could be days apart not a month.

So even though I live in America, why can't I just download the "Euro" version?

"Is there somthun spesial about thu 'merican version?"

I mean, it is the internet, right?

I d/l the Russian version of DCS Blackshark a few months prior to it's release. The Cryllic was a bit challenging, but...

S!

As I understand it Steam is regionally locked.So a game bought in one region will not work in another.

This is assuming Steam is a must.If it is an option then all bets are off.

Note:This is how I understand it.If this is not how it works it will not be the first time I am wrong.

You are right Troll2k but not all games on Steam are region locked, it depends on what agreement is struck with Steam and the publisher / developer.

Since I have seen on a site that is selling the dvd that it was for a certain region I assumed it was regionally locked.

Note: Change xx to tt in link.I was not sure if live links were ok.

I doubt it will be released almost a month early in Europe.

I found a boxed version for sale on gogamer.com. Hopefully it's not some sort of fantasy. And hopefully it's in the US.

The operative phrase from the Gogamer site is:"Order now and we will ship it to you as soon as it is available."
