ewok01 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My brother who is an assistant store manager at eb games wetherill park has it in now. But they cant legally sell it till tomorrow. Something about a street date. He sent me a mms of the 6 his store recieved sitting in the back room. The bugger! Yeah I found out the same as my son works for EB Games and told me they have had it for a few days now, but cannot sell it due to street release date like you said. I will be buying it early 09:00 14th :-) Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeY2J Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 how the hell australians get it before americans is a complete mystery to me Cause Australia is ahead of the world.Thursday Midday already! Quoted for truth Oh, and i imagine that despite the fact that Australia has less than 10% of the population, we probably still generate far more sales of the game then over in the states.

TranmereYank Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I also think it probably has something to do with all the Pommies that are living here No matter why, I just enjoy being able to go to a shop and buying it on the release date instead of having to download some "rebranded" version done especially for the US market.

nick1408 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I think we Aussies are getting the game before everyone, because of the way the world spins. 6am Sydney time will still be around 10pm GMT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonkyDick Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I think we Aussies are getting the game before everyone, because of the way the world spins. 6am Sydney time will still be around 10pm GMT. 7pm, we're GMT +11. So we'll get it at 6am AEST and UK will get it at 11am AEST. So we'll be able to play 5 hours before them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonkyDick Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 You should still be able to preload it, if you want. A lot of us already have.

Brisvegas Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yeah wofman when i left for work there was 3hr till unlock and I was currently downloading the preload.

Yeah, check the sticky at the top. They're able to authenticate about 00:00 GMT or just before, which is 11am AEST. We can authenticate at 6am AEST 14th which is 7pm GMT 13th.

BP_Doosra Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Got it today as well from EB, bit expensive although it means I can play it straight away tomorrow. All I need to do now is choose how to authenticate it - Steam is enticing especially with the automatic updates, although does anyone know how you authenticate the boxed version using Steam? If not, hopefully it will all be made very clear once 6am rolls around tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
