World Wide Purchasing & Distribution

[dash2099]

I didnt realise how complicated buying a game could be, then ubisoft showed me.

they are killing the image of this game with their antics.. started with the whole pre-order collectors/"no soup for you" stance. no collectors for anyone.. too hard.

probably too late and will never happen, but if 1C decide to sell this directly as a download with all profits going to them and not a cent Ubisoft, i'll happily pay for it twice.

Just went into EB games and they said CoD and the collectors edition was available for preorder. $109 AUD for CE and $89 for normal game. The bloke was very helpful and was even aware of the existence of the game. However he had no release date and said it would likely be released in the US before oz as it would have to come through EB's American parent company game stop.

At a guess this suggests to me that game stop will be stocking both editions.

But just one more thing- has anybody ever had to go through such hassle to buy a commercial product?

Ubi strikes me as one of the most incompetent companies I have ever had anything to do with. Are the a listed company? If I were a shareholder I would be dumping my stock as clearly this company has a very low opinion of it's customers.

Boostep have handled this very professionally, refunded order upon cancellation. Highly recommend Boostep customer service. Ubisoft take note, this is how a professional company takes care of its customers. Spoke to Ubisoft Head office who assured me that a LIMITED number of the Collectors and standard sets will be available through EB Games at an unspecified date. This is beyond a joke, what next......

I to have canceled my order with Boostep due to UBISCREW. Customer service is top notch at Boostep with all my email questions answered immediately (thanks Monika). I will totally deal with them again. Now UBISUCK on the other hand I just hope pull fingers out of each others 6 o'clocks and start repairing the damage they have done to this wonderfully game. I for one would be happy with a plain singed copy from Olegs office and a calender

yes, at last its on the list... but hopefully the, "from the US parent company" I hope isn't going to be problematic as far as region (yet to be 100% confirmed) coding goes.
