kipanderson Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Steve, Straight question, Living in the UK, will I be forced to buy my copy of CMBB from CVD, or whatever they are called? The day you release CMBB in the US I will be trying to order it over the net. The thought of a dialogue box coming up telling me I have to wait for the release from CVD would throw me into in controllable confusion. You have some very loyal fans in the UK, even if some of us enjoy a good argument on Soviet artillery matters. It would be very rough justice if we had to wait for CVD to produce it. If there will be an option for express delivery, I will also be going for that. All the best, Kip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Hi Kip, To be perfectly honest with you... I don't know. We have no arrangement with CDV at the moment, but we are going to start talking about it with them. But I can tell you one thing... we do intend on making sure that nobody has to wait for someone else. We also have a warehouse in Ireland which, if we do the shipping ourselves, will make things faster for Europeans than was the case for CMBO. When we know for sure what the arrangements will be for CMBB we will let you guys know. Just be assured that we have everybody's best interests, especially the customers', in mind as we figure things out. We know what you want Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerxes Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Just a point on euro's being behind the curve. When it comes to cellular, euro's are significantly more advanced then ami's. - more cellular customers per capita - much, much, (several orders of magnitude) greater use of text messaging (through cellular) per capita -marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make a point Australia has a higher usage than the UK and US. I think Steve was talking in general and did give a few examples.

Steve<hr></blockquote> Yeah, yeah - when I worked for a gun store that did mostly telephone and mail order sales, the manager always called his dinky store the "showroom" and the dingy little back area was his "warehouse." Since it went sight unseen by 99 percent of the clientelle, no one was the wiser. So we know you're really talking about Fionn Kelly's basement...

We subcontract out our shipping and warehousing stuff to professionals, not med students We just call it our "Irish warehouse" to keep things nice and simple!

GriffinCheng+ Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 BTS, I know most of the "new" stuff on the "Gold" can be downloaded from the 'Net. But from a "collector" pov, do I have to order the "Gold" edition from CDV or is it available through BTS also? Please keep us posted. Thanks. Griffin.
