The problem is that the United Kingdom really only has one video game retailer chain in the High Street, which is GAME. Although they should have done a deal with Gamestation.

I diagree there are plenty of others that sell games in the UK

Wollys

HMV

Gameplay.com

Play.com

Tesco's

Sainsburys

etc etc blah

This is a blatant stitch up.

They are all crap and I am talking about high street game specialists. HMW is bollox. We have a severe lack of them in this country. We used to have Electronic Boutique until GAME bought them out. You would think GAME would have the CE.

Oh well Guildwars comes out soon anyway.,

I dont see what is wrong with most of those other retailers .. they are only selling a box after all so what difference does it make.

oh yeah .. did I mention PC world, Blockbusters, global video and MCV :P

BTW .. It was EB that bought game .. then the US parent company of EB UK split from them making EB UK a listed company in its own right.  Part of this split was that EB  UK could no longer use their name so they renamed the stores to Game which they had bought almost specifically for that purpose.

But what does it matter really the point is that Game has the exclusive and they are gonna make us pay through the nose for it. Well not me but you guys that wanna hang on the Euro servers will pay through the nose for it.

Thankfully old guild mates have sorted me out, its the US version all the way for me.

Oh please, we in the Benelux can't even pre-order the game at all. That also means we can't join the Final Beta Test, so that means we have to wait a lot longer time before we can play WoW.

fingle

I am very tempted to preorder a large numer of these to help you guys that dont have a supply out.

How many of you would be interested?

Yeah, selling millions of games and being thought of as the one of the best game companies is such a mistake. If only others could make these mistakes, too. Oh well.

i could preorder the normal version but still. I had my heart set on a CE edition.

Its a blatant slap in the face.
