It's Out in Australia!!
 

Walked into my local EB Games on Elizabeth Street, Melbourne this afternoon and saw it just sitting on a shelf.. no new release section, nothing!

I'm guessing they broke the street date as its supposed to be released on Sat morning!

The PG sticker made me laugh. "Mild war themes and violence". I should bloody hope so!!

Did you buy it? It looks like a dummy to me (awaiting the shipment).

It's not the same cover as the ones we've seen released, though someone did post a picture of this cover a few weeks ago.

You are lucky to have a game shop that has heard of the Il2 series at all. The ones near me haven't.

Crikey! I blame my wife for not reading the forum earlier! I spent (wasted!) the last few hours fixing a solenoid on the reticulation! My closest Eb-Games is only 5 minutes away! Now the shops are closed! AHHH!

Still would it activate before the local release date?

Cheers and thanks for the update!

Oh! did you buy it?

No.. didn't buy it, as I've already bought it from Direct2drive for $40.. (rather than $90!!!)

It is the full retail edition, as EB games don't put a price sticker on the box until its released...

Edit: I doubt you'd be able to activate it anyway... I'd sure be pi$$ed about that!

Poor Australians!...

yep was posted earlier on Simhq that eb had it on the shelves in Oz, you cannot activate yet though. Which isnt a bad thing, cause then I would have had 4 copies :)

Bloody Hell! EB Games on Elizabeth St. is only a couple of blocks from my place on Lonsdale... Aargh! :twisted:

If I might say though, that is the most artless piece of cover illustration I have ever seen. It looks more like an attempt at camouflage

NINETY dollars?? Christ,poor Aussies!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I just turned on my phone (it'd run out of batteries this morning) and there were three messages from EB Games in Karrinyup! My Collectors edition was ready to pick up!!!!!!!!
