[33Vortex]

We'll all be steamrolling over France while you guys are still installing.

:rofl:

Managed to get £35 together for it and pre-order placed.

price drop...

the price for hoi3 has been lowered on amazon the new price is $36.99 i know it is only a few bucks but every coin helps with the bottom line of my finances.

Yepp, In stores date still Aug 7 in the US.

I heard this was George W. Bush's last request before he left office, just another reason for the rest of the world hate him even more.

anyway, Thank God I live in the good ol' US of A

 

[Jeoh]

I hope GG can handle the load. My 90Mbit line hungers...

 

[Jamien]

Btw. a question: Is it possible to put the HoI3 Boxed CD-Key in Gamersgate or Steam and then download it at will from there too?

At least for Steam, (haven't used GG) almost certainly no. Only Valve's own games and few special cases do that.

Frankly, it wouldn't be good business on their part. You would use their bandwidth downloading a game you haven't paid them anything.

Oh thank god, now I can stop lurking on this board waiting for the golden announcement.




<<< BTW that flag wins

I noticed the release date had dropped back at mightyape.co.nz, unfortunately GG isn't an option for me (limited download ability when sharing with 3 other flatmates) so delay is frustrating, but I'd rather Paradox got it right as they're doing than delivered a substandard product

Who knows, maybe the first patch will be out by the time I receive my copy

 

[Red Ant]

Gone "gold" means that the software company has decided the version of the game is suitable for sale i.e. most bugs have been removed and the software is ready for the consumer.

Surely you mean ...

Gone "gold" means that the software company has decided the version of the game is suitable for sale PERIOD.

Who knows, maybe the first patch will be out by the time I receive my copy

First patch will probably be out before I even get my copy (GamersGate)

 

[henkalv]

so the boxed release will be set for aug 14 in uk and scandinavia and we've got a confirm of aug 28 for localized version in fr/ge.

nnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[henkalv]

Hi guys,

The good news is that the digital version will still be released as planned on Aug 7, meaning that all of you who cannot wait for the game can still acquire it that way.

Kind regards
Susana Meza

oh thank god! I was starting to belive that the game was dealeayed on GG too

 

[Jarno]

i would like a box version but i live in the netherlands, so whre should i pre order?

 

[Nimic]

I hope there won't be too many problems with the GG servers on release day. If there's no problem on their side (which I'm expecting there will be), I'll have the game in about 2 minutes

 

[Hollywood]

Now...we need to confirm in stone when the digital download will begin!

 

[Joppos]

If only there was a film reference so horrible and ridiculous, yet so charasteristic and simple, that could portray my disappointment adequately. Oh, wait.

 

[Fulmen]

Scandinavia? Will this affect Finland?

 

[Vip Rider]

Heh here in Ireland people don't use computers (well at least majority) and they play 360 or PS3 games only. This means that less people are using internet so I never encountered internet traffic. This is why I decided to pre-order from GG. Unfortunately since people don't play PC games here this means only very little section of game stores are for PC games and only for famous ones so I can't get boxed version of HoI 3 here

 

[PanzerMan7]

You could make the ultimate sacrifice and donate blood for money (at least in the US they pay for it)

Just kidding....:rofl:

ill give all 10 pints for HoI 3!

DD version has PDF manual and unlimited redownloads, meaning that we cannot accidentally scratch our discs etc. Also, I think that it is easier to redownload game than to find right DVD.

How likely is that, though? And having a physical manual to read is oh so much better than reading off a screen.
