I also pre-ordered a collector's copy at Amazon Germany three weeks ago, I see now it's
available at Amazon France:

Nothing at UK site, which is usually cheaper.

Following Screamadelica and drewpee lead, just pre-ordered the Collectors Edition from boostep.com for $93.95AUD delivered.

UBI Australia = download only for $89.95.

I looked at that boostep.com, and saw this: "Usable in regions Suomi,Europe, Middle East, Australia / Region B"

I'm in the USA.

So I guess Americans who want the Collector's Edition are just screwed, and that's that.

Maybe if UBI sees enough of us pre-ordering from foreign re-sellers they may change their minds and finally see what their customers actually want rather than being told what we can have.

I just told a work college what I did and she gasp - "Isn't that illegal!?" WTF!

It's a global market place now, I find it strange that businesses are so ignorant to the fact that their business models NEED TO CHANGE, it's 2011 for god sake if you don't adapt you'll die.

The Russian version is called "Battle for Britain"
(this is no leak ) (official info)

You would think that with so many old farts like me who like to have some thing in their hands for their hard earned cash UBI would have a couple of boxes full of copies sent here to OZ. Once the printers and DVD suppliers have impute all the data into their copiers a DVD box set would be such a small amount they'd be using spars as drink coasters.

Maddox would have been better doing online distribution themselves. At least then they would get the profits, not hand over the biggest cut to Ubi.

sure. But they would have had to finance the project in full, without Ubi/ Maybe they could not or didn't want to at the time.

Wrong markings!!!!!

Bootstep has no pic and no release date.
That makes me worried because it gives me a feeling that they dont pay much attention at the sales department.

Hi Ghodan, Boostep does have a release date, its up in the top right hand corner of their site in the buy/preorder box. Says 24/03/2011 but that it is only an estimation.

Cheers

ordering from finland to australia has me a bit worried. i'm sure it's legit, but i'd rather buy from an english speaking country so if any problems arise it will be easier to clear up.

anybody got a solid lead on a reputable english-speaking seller who can ship a hard copy to australia for a reasonable price?

P.S. - what a joke that we have to do so much work just to figure out where to buy the bloody product!
