EU Release Date changes again?!

Post by Demis »

As always games are released to Europe some time later than the US. With IWD the release date was around the 15th of Sept, Having preordered the game a long time ago and according to Amazon.co.uk the game should have been to my home around 16-18 of Sept. Yesderday after checking to see if my copy has been dispatched i found out the item has not been released yet and will not do so until the 27th!! This is really frustrating :mad: . Has anyone else found out about it?

Last time i've checked the cost almost doubles when you order it from the US, but it has been a while. From where did you got it if i might ask?

@Schwoebli

Not much help indeed but thanks anyway i just wanted to know some alternative e-stores to check on thier prices and shipping rates. Though i prefer to have the games earlier i cannot and don't like to pay too much on the shipping. :)
