EU3 Collectors Edition update and questions...please use this thread

[Dominik]

That depends on the publisher. The delay in Poland was due to CD Projekt (IIRC), not Paradox. As I know of there were no such problems with the german versions...

Exactly, by delegating the work on patch localization to distributor who is busy with other games and not caring about buyers of a single game as well as the developer of that game results in patch delays... The way it was done in HOI2/DD was great as when Paradox published patch it already contained localized version, and there was no need for the distributor to wake up (if ever) and do it work. How it will be handled for EU3?

pre-ordered on Bol.com.

says it will deliver on 2 feb, bit late perhaps but worth the wait.

I pre-ordered on bol.com too, it was more expansive than at the paradox online shop but I don't have a creditcard . I'm happy they do have the collector's edition though.

It was Bol.com who stated the CE came on the 22 of Feb.....might have been a typo and it is also 2 Feb.

Sometimes Dynabyte has it sooner and cheaper ,check it out or give em a ring.

 

[Hupie]

??

bol.com sais 2 feb for the CE, not 22. It sais 23 feb for the normal version though .

 

[unmerged(31044)]

lol they changed it again i guess :x still its strange ....even stranger to have the CE a month sooner...:x

 

[Dominik]

Uff, just preordered English lg Collectors Ed at Polish publisher's webshop...

can't wait!!!

Good for you, I see the price is 149,90 PLN where my order in paradoxshop totalled to ~218 PLN. The only bonus is that my copy should arrive earlier (a week or two?).

But I think I can afford giving Paradox more money for what they do.

You think it will arrive earlier? Polish Post sometimes is really slow, like I've received a priority mail in Warsaw 20 days after it was sent from different part of the city - but it was in December, so they were probably busy with Christmas cards.

Cenega didn't answer when I asked (in December) if they were going to publish CE in Poland, so I thought they are not going and ordered it form Paradox like you.

I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment (damned holidays) and had no plans on buying the CE.


But, I've changed my mind.

I mean come on, is this sexy or what?

On second thought, since I don't have a credit card it would be much easier to order it somewhere else. Can anyone point me to an online store that accepts pre-payment (via bank account)?

You can set up a PayPal account with your bank account number, and download EUIII via GamersGate; I believe Barnes & Noble accepts PayPal as well, and carries computer games, if you want a box and CD instead of an electronic download.

EDIT: Haha, CE comes with stickers we can put on our car that say Paradox?!?

 

[unmerged(12990)]

As far as I know, you need a credit card to star a PayPal account. Or am I wrong?

Nope! All I've got is a savings account ~ no checking, no credit card, no nothing ~ at my local bank, and my PayPal account has worked perfectly for ... I think a year.

 

[unmerged(12990)]

Well I'll be damned, I always thought I need a CC. Awesome!

I went out and bought a pre-paid credit card. . .they'll load a card with any whole-dollar amount in the US.

 

[unmerged(12990)]

Barnes & Noble don't seem to be taking orders for the CE. I'm gonna mail a few local stores if they can get a CE or two. :/

A quick question: How reliable is Gamersgate? What kind of download speeds does it provide? and does it have the "resume download" feature?

 

[Dakk]

You can always try it out by buying EU1 (1$ or 1€)...

I did just that, and it seemed very stable and reliable to me. Can't really remember download-speeds but I don't think they went below 500kB/s at any time. No idea if you can resume an aborted download though.

Did the very same thing, can't wait for my brand-new CE straight from Paradox.
