Help! I Wanna buy this from the UK.

from Sins Forums
Hi there. I'm desperate to get my hands on this (retail box ideally) asap, but I can't find anywhere in the UK that stocks it yet.

Do you know of any retailers (online or off...) that are stocking it?

Looks like International delivery from the US will take up to 2 weeks! I can't wait that long. Also, not sure that I'll be able to hog our broadband for as long as it'll take to download. :(

Any thoughts?

Cheers

There's no European publisher - none of them wanted to take up the game because they think the German market won't support a space RTS.

So, your only option is to import the box, sadly. The download is only 1gb, and with most of the download rush over with you should be able to get some pretty good download rates, so you should still get it over with relatively quick and can play while the box is taking 2 weeks to ship.

Also, go insult all the Euro publishers for being stupid and not wanting to distribute this awesome game in Europe :P

Order it online from stardock, no need for box. You`ll get access to the download as soon as you pay the thing, much better than going out trying to find someone who sells it.

Cheers guys.

I definately want a box to keep (yes I may be a bit sad), I like my bookshelf full of game boxes...dating back to the times of the original C&C, Wolfenstein 3D and many more.

Perhaps I'll buy online from Stardock then. I don't have to buy points or the credits thingy do I? I'd rather just buy the game on it's own. Can I still buy the Collectors/Special edition?

No, you don't need to bother with tokens (in fact, you can't get the box with tokens :P). You get the CE automatically by ordering through Stardock, so no worries there, they're still available :)
