IL2: CoD release in the UK??

[House M.D.]

It is a completely silly method to delay release from biggest resellers, just like amazon.co.uk & play.com, thinking that people will be forced to buy the download version from ubi store.
Nevertheless they forget that Jack Sparrow will offer download from the first day as well, therefore there will be time until we can buy the game from the store we prefer.
Their silly method just risks that people who get their copy for Jack, won't bother getting it from another store later. Their risk. Personally I will buy the boxed version whenever it is available in a known store and will be playing the game from day 1.

Release to biggest retailers also depends on the retailers themselves; wether they want that game or not.
Ubi is not trying to force anybody to DL from Ubistore, obviously, since the game is avilable for download at Game.uk for instance.

I think things will change in the following two weeks

Sure Vevster, things should probably change within the next 2 weeks. Hopefully.

Nevertheless, there is no way big stores like Amazon & Play to not want the game. They sell everything - no discriminations in ways to make profit

My opinion still stands that Ubi is trying to force download sales and thus the delay in offering the English boxed version.

Strange then , that this "strategy" is not implemented in France & Germany for instance.
In France, amazon sells both the collector & the normal box. You'd think Ubi would implement this strategy in its own country.

So me think it's either a question of Ubi.uk not being up to date with their retailers and/or retailers not asking too much either.

Just have to wait a little.
