ordered it online at amazon USA and - to save on shipping - I flew over the Atlantic to pick it up.

I also voted on "nearby shop". I got it as a christmas gift from my wife, but I´m pretty sure she bought it our lokal gameshop.Vissarion said:
Have Not Bought It Because I Cannot Find It in a Store
Went to local EB. Asked when they'd have it in. Was informed it wouldn't be sold in Queensland EBs. Cursed loudly and repetitively. Went to local Hardly Normal. Asked about it. Was met with blank stares. Gave up.
What the fuck, people, I live in a state capital and one of the biggest cities in Oz, and Vicky's unobtainable. I'm dubious about getting it online cos I don't trust their security. However, if anyone living in Brisbane or even other parts of Australia has any suggestions on somewhere to order it, I'd muchly appreciate it.

I got Victoria, and HOI, for Christmas; later I was informed they both came from EB.
I'm in Corpus Christi, TX , and those are the only Paradox games actually carried by any software sellers down here. I was able to find EU & EU2 at Half-Price Books, though.

Asked friends in Germany to order it online and let them bring it (on their way to make holiday) to Turkey.
Sonny said:Even after it hit the shelves in EB there was only one or at the most two copies of the game visible on the shelves and you had to look in the corner to see it. It also was turned so you could only see the side of the box and not the front. So it got about 1 inch of visibility while the big selling games got 2 or 3 feet of shelf space.
Well, I'll first apologize for your local EB prick. Now, I'll go on to say that a game like Victoria or HOI is (unfortunately) not on the priority list for the PC Game buyer at the Corporate headquarters. This'll be the same for Gamestop/Babbage's or whatever they're calling themselves now. If anyone is going to buy Crusader Kings or EU III when they come out, go into wherever you can, and preorder or the game. How many preorders a store has determines the amount of copies that store will get, if any. The only reason why more store received any Victoria's was because I work there and I try to get as many copies of HOI out the door as I can. So, if you preorder a copy of the game, and many other people do it, that forces the buyer to buy more copies from, in this case, Strategy First, and if a store has one or two preorders, they'll end up with those, and depending on the store, probably one or two more. So, while the actual date that the game will be in the store can't be guaranteed, you (should) get a call when the game does come in and it's held for you.
Happy gaming,
Claude
I've just been informed that to the knowledge of EB Oz, Victoria has been discontinued. ARRG
