Dalixam Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 I just saw the news post at Mixnmojo and checked it out even though I expected the usual; Only US residents can participate. Do they realize there is a world outside the US? Oh, and I like the fact that it runs through December 31st 2002.
Ray Jones Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 ..ahem.. concerning the international versions.. yes they know theres more.. i think its not that easy with logistics etc. so ..
Oystein Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 I know, it sucks! They are a large company, why the hell are they so narrow-minded?!
Wizball Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 Ok MAYBE they should limit contests to the US (although I think it sucks) BUT They SHOULDN'T limit ordering normal stuff from the store to the US/Canada only!! Even friggin' Sierra's store ships worldwide (Blizzard, too). Wtf is wrong with them? I went through a great pain to get the Indiana Jones Emperor's Tomb free pen by finding someone in the US to order for me and send it to Europe afterwards (In fact costed me a copy of "Liath" which I merly threw away to him for $20.00 + shipping (normally makes up to $40.00 on Ebay) and of course the game price + shipping to Europe). Thank you LucasArts for yet another f**kup! /me angry
tabacco Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 Probably because (I believe) Activision is their distributor internationally, and I don't think they'd appreciate LucasArts doing direct international sales and bypassing them.

Oystein Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 But Activision's online store is crap. If they won't let LucasArts ship internationally, then they should at least give us just as good a selection as the LucasArts store.
scabb Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 What have Activision got to say regarding the matter? Perhaps a bunch of irritating emails will.. irritate them. Still, worth a shot to see if they may be interested in stocking merchandise and other such crap. Actually, I can't find anything remotely related to LucasArts at Activison.co.uk, so I guess that's not how it works.. ¬
Jake Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 If we ever get our site back and run this years Simon Jeffery interview, I think there was some good news about the company store and international buyers in there ... don't remember how definite it was but ... yeah.

Unless you're totally downplaying things, he's pretty much said that every year. ¬
