gibsonm Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Great! Now I'll see 1000 posts asking for a definition of "very soon"!! Guys, I for one appreciate the effort and will happily join the queue for ordering (or pre-ordering) whenever its announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pvt. Ryan Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Will the Finnsh version be available in the US? We sound like a bunch of kids in the back seat of the car during a road trip - "Are we there yet? Madmatt keeps hitting me." If we are not careful Steve or Charles will say, "If you kids don't shut up and behave we are going to turn this game around right now and go home. That means you also don't get to see the world's largest ball of string." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Originally posted by Moon: ...European players will find the game in their local retail stores...!Thx for the news, Moon. One question, though: Does this mean that the retail version will be released at the same time as the online-shop-version or will there be a delay?

Moon Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 Yeah, you can get the finnish version, but it will be expensive because of shipping cost - the translation of the manual weighs in at 2450 pages, and it's mostly one word Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Thanks Moon, In the UK -- what sort of time scale are we talking about between BTS announcing the Official release date, and it actually getting to the shelves? A week, two weeks, a month?? I want this game...badly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 We have little say about this, obviously, but rest assured that CDV has a VERY good reason to be as fast as they can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Axe_ Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 This topic should have come with a disclaimer -- not for the weak at heart. Thought it was out today for a second. Good news nonetheless. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka_tom_w Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Originally posted by Moon: We have little say about this, obviously, but rest assured that CDV has a VERY good reason to be as fast as they can Well that sounds positive! "rest assured that CDV has a VERY good reason to be as fast as they can" Would that be because of competition from other "soon to be released" titles of a similiar genre? I'm guessing. -tom w [ July 08, 2002, 08:43 PM: Message edited by: aka_tom_w ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
