I doubt that's really a collector's edition.

30 GBP = 48 AUD and 36 Euro

According to the poll 90% of us want a hard copy, so maybe Ubisoft should pay a little attention to the preferences of their paying customers, you know, the people whose money keeps them in a job! Or do they figure that we will order it from overseas, which saves them shipping costs and makes the Post Office more profits. I just hope they release enough Collectors sets to accomodate all the overseas orders.

Trying to order CoD from Australia via an overseas UBI site always re-directs you back to the UBI Australia. I even went as far as to use Tor to trick the site and was able to place an order but when selecting the shipping country as Australia, it simply cancels the order.

I don't mind paying what the Australian price is, but I'm not stupid. I recently got Dead Space 2 for $20 less on STEAM than what the local retailers were offering.

What I'm pissed at is that no-one outside of Europe will get the collectors edition, which to me makes no sense.

155 people altogether answerer this poll as of today.

Hardly a number worth looking at except for some indication of preferences. Among these 155, some have already ordered their own copy.


Do not forget also that the release of hard copy in stores does not depend only on Ubisoft. If the sores do not place any order for hard copies (and it's already the case in some countries for most PC games except the huge hits), then Ubisoft won't bother making them.
In that particular case, who knows...

Right, but you get the game on the day of it's release, and save some money - which will sweeten the time you'll have to wait for your US(or UK) version to arrive.

IMA the way a person decides to read a story, watch a movie pay a bill, bank or play a comp game should be up to them. If hard copy's are made available in local stores there would be no waiting or people trying to tricking the system to get what should be available. Trying to rip people off or dictate what they can purchase leads to things like a black-market (proved again and again by history)
