chindi_demos Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Well i never....i had the same e-mail from dvdboxoffice this morning....and my CE from gamestop is also nestling in Derby at the moment. Hopefully i'll have it by friday. If so i'll be holding a small memorial for my social life at the weekend Chindi.
chindi_demos Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 It's here!!! :D I want to marry gamestop. Chindi.
dillinga Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 OK guys I've just got back from hols to find its been released!!!! What was the total price for your copy from Gamespot. If you could break it down for me into TAX, GAME, Delivery etc that would be cool I need this game but I want to know how much everything is going to cost......did you guys get the CE edition?? Thx
dillinga Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 And does any1 know the UK release date.....if it only a month away I will wait but any longer there no chance......
chindi_demos Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Gamespot were only doing the CE when i ordered...it was $100 including shipping but i had to pay £20 extra delivery when it came. Quite a lot but i got it 3 days after ordering and having played in beta i gotta say its worth it. Chindi Bestine (ahazi)
Ajo79 Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 I have placed an order of the CE at Gamestop. I hope they are fast. I placed an order at EB yesterday, but cancelled it now... don't want two copies. Ordering CE+taxes will hurt my wallet, but what the heck.. you only live once
Bishk99 Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Woot! Just got my Gamestop order, talk about quick, only ordered it tuesday COD charges suck though, I got £10.59 import charges, 36p duties and £10 Brokerage Surcharges, what exactly are brokerage surcharges? Bish
Neon Vampyre Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 PC Gamer reckons that SWG isn't coming out in the UK until next year! So Dillinga? If thats true, you'll be waiting a llloooonnnnggg time!! The cost was broken down as: Game - $67.49 Shipping - $15.99 Total of - $83.48 You must include the CoS there, so £50 plus another £20 for shipping. Hope that helps! Chindi - $100 for the C.E!!?? It was $80 for me! That was including shipping, so that cost me around the £50 mark, and of course with the CoS, that was raised to £70, but I got the C.E, so I'm happy.
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Meh i will wait for my copy, even if it takes another week.
dillinga Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Thx guys....I'm going to order in a bit Wasn't to fussed about CE but if it means I get it I don't mind spending the extra. Just have to hide the credit statment from the other half
Ajo79 Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 i think my copy has shipped from the states. Ordered it earlier today and now money have been drawn from my VISA. I'm happy I wonder if I can have it tomorrow? Hardly, but hopefully on monday. I'll have a hard time working tomorrow i think... thinking of my game travelling the world.
Neon Vampyre Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Just think guys... very soon, you'll be in the Star Wars universe! (again for those of us who were lucky enough to get into Beta! ) Its probably a good thing that our copies have taken/are taking time to get here... there are a lot of bugs that were not squashed during Beta that are raising their ugly heads once again... just read the forums at http://www.starwarsgalaxies.com There are a lot of pissed off people who are having serious problems with the game that are only just being sorted out! Just think, a good week or more of their free month down the toilet, whilst us lot get the whole month of a more fixed game!
Ajo79 Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 you got a point NeonVampyre. The longer you wait the better experience you'll get. If been monitoring the official forums since a week before release. I got pretty good picture of whats going on... I bet most of you here does as well. Lots of talk about bugs and inbalances. New patches arrive every day or so... which is good. But reading all this makes it impossible not to want the game. It was better before the internet. Back then you browsed the game stores and you had no idea what the future did hold. With the internet and the game companies "official production" you can follow the game through the production. Some games, like SWG, have been in production for over two years. Two years of craving after the game... and soon I'll have a copy of it. Feels kinda weird.. but good.
Neon Vampyre Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Yeah, I've been monitoring the official forums too... it sucks that you can't post until you've bought and registered the game though! Beta was rife with bugs when I first started on it, but towards the end, it was getting better, although I and the majority of other Beta testers thought the game was NOWHERE NEAR finished when they decided to go live... thats why I'm in no rush to register my copy! I'll keep monitoring the official boards, and when the complaining dies down, THEN I'll register.
Kivan Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 How many of ypu have the game right now? if you have could you tell me if its REALLY good?
Neon Vampyre Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Considering I was in Beta, I can tell you NOW that its really good!
Neon Vampyre Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Me? I have my copy of SWG C.E now, but like I said, considering the state of Beta when it finished, I'll probably be waiting until late July, early August before I start to play properly!
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Oh well another no SWG gone, hopefully i might have a comfirm of shipment email in my inbox tommorow from DVD box office.
Kivan Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 i know this has nothing to do with what your talking about- but what sort of gameplay is it? is it like quake, jedi outcast?(1st person)... or is it like baldurs gate, neverwinter nights?? plz reply soon coz i really wanna know what its like
Neon Vampyre Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Keep hoping Reaper. It'll be with you soon! Just be patient. As far as I know, the normal version of the game is completely sold out, so you may be waiting for a little while...
Neon Vampyre Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Hmm... its like a cross between NW nights, and Morrowind... thats about as close as I can compare it... you know, the style of Morrowind and the turn-based combat of NWN! Hope that helps...
