I don't know about the rest of you but I'm not willing to wait however many months for VIC to start appearing in British shops. Now many of us ordered HoI through a shop in London and got it within two days of the American release for a very reasonable price - payable by D/D, which was nice cos I refuse to have a credit card. Only problem is that I've forgotten the name of this establishment. Anyone help?

Fantastic, that's the one, thanks mate :)

They took D/D for HoI and delivered, bless 'em.

EDIT: SE Durham eh? We belong to the same bishop :D Jarrow here.

we may have the same bishop, mate.. but i think it possible our football colours are different:)

back on strategic plus, iirc one of their lads posted on the hoi forum to tell us when our copies were dispatched and to welcome people in the area to pick copies up.... very rare level of customer service in the age of call centres and answerphones.........

I was able to get HoI through "Game" on day of release. So I expect Victoria will be the same

That's right, I'll always remember the day HoI arrived - Nov 30 - because I'd moved house only the day before :) Koch must have lost a fortune by not releasing it until this spring.

HoI was published in the US 5-6 months earlier than in the UK iirc, so don't bet on it. Not that Paradox can actually do too much about that, if the publisher they 'pick/persuade' to publish the game in country xyz decides to wait. Leastways, as I understand the situation.

Edit: reworked the point slightly to make it clearer.

The publisher decides the release date, yes..

(and they surely doesn't work together...)

I'm just waiting for the day games go gold and I can then download it from the website instead of waiting a month for the box. ;)

It all seems rather 20th century to me

Yes, and highly bloody inconvenient, Paradox should offer a full download from their site, like the Championship Manager download that I see advertised on Yahoo sport from time to time. That way I don't have to burn with frustration waiting to get at their games.

"I'm just waiting for the day games go gold and I can then download it from the website instead of waiting a month for the box."

Here, Here!
Paradox I beg of you to cancel your publishing thing with those guys and sell the game yourself ... online ... you will probably make as much if not more money and we will love having the game for what? a few days already!

.... I can dream that they would listen to me and do this can't I?.....

Gentlemen, you sohuld be ashamed. In the future, as long as you are in Victoria's fora you will refer to yourselves exclusively as 'Britons'. :D
