Sweet Zombie Jesus!

Come ooooon January...
 
One happy citizen here... :D
 
Wohoo! And just 40$!

Praise Susana!
 
Oh boys, the map will be like that, this is the final product, we will have to live with this... no "enhancements" anymore...

January? Is it just my impression or I can see a developmet team rushing to get it ready and hit the stores on vacations? Its earlier than what we were expecting, maybe even earlier what Paradox was expecting... as long as it doesnt come fulled with bugs, its ok.
 
January is great !
hope it won`t be postponed
 
That early?:eek: Jooohoooooo!:D I though somewhere around March! But the price is surprising, it's the same price as is normal in Norway. Usually Paradox's games costs 399 NOK, which is approximately 62 USD with the current exchange rate( and that is dirt cheap for a new game over here, 499 NOK/78 USD is what all pc games costs. and console gfames costs 599 NOK/93 USD...). But I'm happy to pay whatever the price, it's Paradox after all.;):p
 
I hope we can pre-order soon :)
And that it magically appears on my desk when I have. Stupid dreams.
 
Btw. does Gamersgate version become available on 23rd or 26th?

Wow, I know about the importance of psychological price values, but man, this is a lot of a difference!!! With today´s exchange rates, it will cost:

EUR 31,30 in the USA
EUR 39,99 in Euroland
EUR 43,67 in Sweden
EUR 48,39 in Norway
EUR 53,51 in Denmark

that´s a 71% penalty for Danes in comparison to US-citizens... What´s the shipping cost from US to Europe? Maybe it´ll be cheaper importing it...
 
Well, thats capitalism and Pax Americana. When dollar was stronger than euro, there was no such parity, now that its reverse, there is. Europe, know your place. Good thing I live outside the Euro zone and GG charges me in dollars. :p
 
Yay, good news and so on.
But why do we Euros always get screwed over? Even by European companies. We pay more, but get the game later. gah!

VAT? Just guessing here. But considering most European countries have a 15-22% sales tax isn't it normal it's more expensive?
