What a joke!!! I was all set to get it today. :mad: http://www.kiwirugby.net/krforums/im...s/icon_sad.gif

Sounds like crap man.. :S

Well, at least I can tell you that it is worth waiting for.

Bummer. Why not buy the USA version...same format.

Noooooooooooooooooooo! i was all ready and set for the weekend as well!i even planned a mini 2 player LAN with my friend Damit! Oz gets everything last..... First this blasted heat and then a delay for HOTU.....

sorry memnoch! *gives you a hug* i feel your pain. holland got it before the us did by 4 or 5 days, due to some weird quirk. i was happy for gamers there, but bummed for me in nyc.
it appears everyone in the aussie release thread on the bioware forums is doing what we did for the us release... posting release dates given by local stores. ;) so you never know! maybe you'll be lucky and get it a few days earlier than you think.

that's been tried by gamers in other countries when the US version was released. it's locked down or sump'n, because they (EBGames, Go-Gamer, Amazon.com, GameStop, etc.) won't do it. they'll take your order, but you won't get it till after the official release day for your country.

Hmm, one could always ask a freindly person on IW to place the order and then send it on.

I hate having to wait for games, it's a crock of you know what.

I was very surprised that HOTU was released in the UK at the same time as in the US - normally we wait a couple of months [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] - but it's really odd that the Oz release is later given that for once it was co-ordinated in other parts of the world.

yeah i agree... there really shouldn't be such disparate release dates, esp these days. so many people in other countries play english versions. honestly, even tho i'm happy to play it as soon as it's out... i think they should just hold everyone off till all versions are ready. esp since so many us gamers have friends they game with from all over the world.

*sighs* actually, i believe the entire game publishing industry needs a huge overhaul anyway. they still do things as if it's the 19th century. [img]smile.gif[/img]
