Tasman Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Hi, has anyone from Australia got the game yet? If so what did it end up costing you in $A. The exchange rate is getting better but with the $US postage it still puts the game at over $A100. I can buy it online from the UK for about A$80 and get it sent to my relatives house in UK who can then send it to me but I don't like pdf manuals so I would prefer te US version. I bought CMBO direct from Battlefront a couple of years ago and the postage seemed a lot cheaper then. I know I am only quibbling over A$15-20 but its still a lot of money. Still I do want this game. Also how long did it take for you to get the game. Thanks Tasman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TasmanThat's like, what, about $2-3 in a freely convertible hard currency, then, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroboy Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 I ordered it 17th September, still waiting patiently here in Sydney. Gotta arrive one day soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Weasle Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 cost me AUD$101 and took around 10 days to arrive. PIAT Same for me and mine came camel post to W.A. Don't do the UK thang, if you have been reading the post you'll know that you're gonna have to patch it big time to update several old models (and euro censorship) and even then the write protection CDV slapped on the CD's may cause you problems. Bottom line, the game is worth AU$101 plus change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oskacat Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Same same - $100 AUD and about 10 days delivery. It's the wrong forum but anyway, if anyone in Aus wants an TCP/IP game of either CMBB or CMBO let me know - I can't really play with big time zone differences (kids and all).

Aussie Smith Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Got it about 2 weeks ago now. Cost $90 all up on my M/C. I got a crap version but the patch fixed it and BF will send me a new one according to Matt. BTW - The Sturmtiger is awesome [ October 19, 2002, 07:05 AM: Message edited by: Aussie Smith ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodwood Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Yep I've got it, ordered about the 20th of September got it 13 days later. As far as the price goes I paid around $100 for it. recieved it in July 2000 played it ever since just about every day (slight exaggeration. 600 days into 100 bucks = about 16 cents a day! pretty cheap entertainment in my view buy and enjoy ron ps aussie I got a crap copy too. received new disc yesterday, pretty good effort BTS thanks [ October 19, 2002, 08:05 AM: Message edited by: goodwood ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
