Heart of Winter Unavailable in England!

[Balgin]

Well, I've tried most possible shops within thirty miles of my house and still it eludes me. That isn't exactly my idea of customer satisfaction but at least I can laugh at my predicament and get back to my life.

well thats alright. it might give interplay some time to release a patch to fix the things they broke in HoW. a few items don't work correctly and the new thieving ability, "crippling blow" is broken too.
I trid posting a message about "where is the patch" on http://redqueendesign.com/ but they seemed to delete my message AND username along with several of the other posts from other users expressing similar dismay at the bug level. strange geeks at interplay

HoW is due out in the Uk on the 23rd of March

I can confirm 23rd March as release date for England.

I was originally told 15 March by EB on Oxford Street. I took them at their word, and spread this evil lie around on this board, as an unwitting party to the deception.

When I went to a different store today to pick up a copy, I got strange looks. Especially when I threw myself to the floor sobbing!

But from what I've heard, it could be a bit of an anticlimax.

Hi Epona, EB on Oxford St. is not a good shop, the staff are some of the worst I've met. If there is a Game store near you they often have a releases board up, which tends to be right. (I know Game and EB are the same company, but they operate very differently).

PS I used to work 5 mins from EB in Oxford St. do you work in that area?

Forgot to say that 15th was never a viable release date as it isn't a Friday. All new releases come out on a Friday ready for the W/E

Not sure I agree mate - I thoroughly enjoyed it as I haven't gamed in a while and even though its rather short, it's an enjoyable old romp. Let me know how it turns out for ya

Yeah, I didn't register that it was a Thursday when they told me, or alarm bells would have rung!

Because I live on the edge of the 'square mile', Oxford street area is my best bet for Saturday shopping, but I tend to avoid it because it's so crowded. I only went in to EB because I happened to be passing on my way somewhere else. My 'local' store is Game on Victoria Street as it's within easy reach of where I work (yes, I'm a 'Westminster Civil Servant', yawn) and they are much better and very helpful. They don't always seem to get things in the store on the release date though for some reason.

Oh well, not long to wait then.

Oh, and incidentally, I was born and raised in Crouch End, just off of Priory Park (North East London I believe). We moved out when I was six on account of school bullies trying to kill me with a piece of rope and a tree (the rope was too short to tie around both separately but that didn't stop them, they tied it very tight and walked away laughing).

What sick b*stards!!
I went through a lot of bullying at school (in Surrey), so I sympathise - I know how badly it can affect you. I don't get to Crouch End that often, as most of my journeys seem to take me in to the centre of town rather than further North.
Do you like Bournemouth? I only tend to get there for my Trade Union Conference when it's held there. I'm not so keen on the town (I prefer the country), but I like the countryside around that area. (Sorry everyone else, I know this is off-topic).
