Collector´s edition release cancelled????

[ptisinge]

When my order was cancelled with Boostep, the shop actually included the forwarded message they received from Ubi:

"IL2: Cliffs of Dover Collector's Edition
----------

Due to a failure in the manufacturing of several components for IL2: Cliffs of Dover ?I am sorry to inform you, that Ubisoft not will be able to deliver this product as ?requested and furthermore we will not start up the manufacturing again.
I have arranged to have the standard version exclusively for the ?Nordic countries only due to the fact this version only was meant to ?be a downloadable version.
I apologize for the inconvenience this may have cost you and customers.
?Ubisoft Nordic A/S"

It seems that the screw up was indeed linked to the manufacturing of the boxes for the Nordic countries, but I'm not trusting any CE pre order for now, especially not EB Games - just wait a little bit and we'll learn that "manufacturing problems" (a good term for chaotic and improvised planning) occured and the Australian release is delayed for 6 months. Besides, EB Games is not listing anything at all for the moment.

I'll stick with dowload versions for now.
