Hoth Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 Went to Electronics Boutique at Hurstville (Sydney, Australia) and the box was there along with the $99.95 price tag. The box looks pretty cool. The guy at the counter confirmed for me that it will be available tomorrow Aussie time. Hoth
MuRaSaMuNe Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 WHAAA???? DID YOU SAY HE SAID ITS AVAILABLE TO BUY TOMORROW???!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!
Hoth Posted March 21, 2002 Author Posted March 21, 2002 Yep, according to the EB guy. I physically touched the box (it's black with the blue light saber logo thing on the front) and he confirmed for me tomorrow. He's a sales assistant. He could be wrong. I'm hoping he isn't. Hoth
rolsen Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 I think this is VERY doubtful. I know it would be hard, but a little bit of proof would be nice.
Sithcloak Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 If that is true then you are to lucky. If not than he might be playing a trick on you to get you to come out, but i doubt it. Well i don't belive i have welcomed you to the forums yet. Welcome! Sithcloak
Rat Boy Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Sounds like another red herring, not unlike the March 19th thing on the LEC site.
perkz Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Well, i went to my local EB (Highpoint, Melbourne, Australia) today just to see if these rumours for an early release were true. And yes - i saw the lovely black JO box there too I talked to the guy there (who seemed to know what he was on about) and he said that it will "hopefully" be available tomorrow (the 22nd). i thanked this guy and left, seeking more confirmation. I went down to another store, that usually gets games in early (standard computers, altona, melbourne) and the chick there said there was no such game arriving for PC, but a title was coming out soon for PS2 (riiiiiiiiight). i backed away slowly and talked to someone else who said the same thing as EB! that it would be on sale TOMORROW!! I dunno how i'd be able to prove this - but i'm definatly gonna call up tomorrow and, if the game is there, buy the thing -Perkz-
digl Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Welcome Hoth You touched a real box or a demo one? edit: welcome perkz too! You may be telling the truth. If It's true the game went gold at least a week before we were told I guess We can only wait, but I still doubt it, why would all the American websites be saying they will shipp around the 29th?
Rat Boy Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Hmmmm, maybe all the Aussie forum dwellers are playing a trick on us.
Hoth Posted March 21, 2002 Author Posted March 21, 2002 It was a REAL box. There was about 12 of them all with price labels on them. I just got off the phone to the distributors for this region. A lady will be emailing me later today to confirm the Australian release. It's important to me because I pre-ordered online with EB and that will cost me twice as much as getting it here locally and sooner! Hoth

brosser_1999 Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Today would truly be a great day to be an Austrailian...... I think....maybe.
Darth Ergotht Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 TOMORROW !!!! Will it be re schedule for north america ?
SaberPro Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 It makes me wonder... why would an American developer company and an American publisher company would publish the game FIRST in Australia?? Won't it make more sense if it is published in America first?

Friday is the 22nd. This is a fasle alarm, no way JO will be out a week early.
buzzfunk666 Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Haha..once again, wishfull thinking. Its out in most countrys on the 28-29th. Please dont put out rumors of a tomorrow release. Aint going to happen. Those demo boxes are all over the US since weeks btw. Means nothing and most sales people know less about computer games then the guy working next door at Foot locker.
Shark747 Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Wow, that would be freaky if all this is true. I'm curious about one thing though, why would they release the game to Australia a week earlier than they plan to release to their major markets. Those being U.S., Canada and Europe, I don't see it making much business sense but who knows, weirder things have happened. Can't think of any right now but I'm sure they've happened.

Thank you Glad to hear that Maybe it's a preorder box...like I saw in BestBuy for C&C: Renegade....($10 off or something)

[Edit - Stormy - the friendly neighbourhood manual-censor guy ]
indianajones9 Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 yeah, it's true. Just so happens that hugh jackman, mel gibson, heath ledger and russel crowe are all hufe JK fans and pulled a few strings. Paul hogan tried too, but he got laughed at. Seriously though. Was there a slight weightlessness to the boxes and you simply attributed it to all the iron you've been pumping? Or was there a cd inside?
bostonjedi Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Maybe it was a gift from LEC for all the filming they did in Austrailia? Or....am I smoking crack and they haven't filmed one scene there? I honestly forget
B0MBER II Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Even if they do get the game tomorrow (for them ozzies) They will have to give info or ELSE!
