I even went into the Game store and asked for future releases and despite loads of crappy obscure Xbox and PS3 games they didn't even have IL2 CoD in their list!

Does anybody know when this is out in the UK and where it can be ordered?

It was the Battle of BRITAIN - we should be first dammit!!!!

hmmm, i've pre ordered my collectors edition in the UK.

straight from the ubi site.

OK thanks. Are they reliable? I want my copy before anybody else gets theirs

I'd like to think so as they're the publisher!

Their FAQ's specifically state that preorders are not shipped until day of release.

No, you went for super express delivery, which is 1 to 3 days for an additional cost of £8.45. If I'm paying nearly 20% of the item cost for delivery it had better be next day guaranteed which super express is not, in fact it can still be within the delivery timescale and be later than the free standard delivery option.

I'm interested in this as well. The Ubi webshop apparently restricts your options based on your IP address, so even though for some reason i'm redirected to the UK part of the website (i live in Greece by the way) it doesn't give me the option of a collector's edition or even the regular boxed one. The only one available is the download option.

If it was available from amazon UK i'd be able to order a physical copy from there. Baring that, i guess my only solution will be to have my sister order a boxed copy as she's currently doing her master's degree in the UK, but then other problems arise. I'm not too keen on having the game shipped to me via regular mail (it'll probably only take 3-5 days by royal mail to reach Greece, but it's the local postage service that i don't trust as much) but on the other hand, she's probably not going to be back home until the Easter holidays.

You can pre-order downloadable CloD in the UK, cheapest is £29.99 from Game.co.uk/ No sign of a hardcopy yet. I think I'll probably order the CE from Ubi if one doesn't appear in the next few weeks.

I'm just going to be patient and see if CoD turns up on amazon uk or play.com in the coming weeks. I would order from Ubi but amazon delivery is so quick in my part of the world. Sorry Osprey I can only suggest that you keep an eye on the forums here.
