Australian release date = November 30?

[Astrixzero]

Why is the Australian release date delayed for more than a week? Is it a problem with Midway?

[Matfei]

Dunno. Probably some importing excuse.

You know we always get screwed over in one way or another when it comes to games here in Aus man.

[Green_Day_584]

ah well, we just have to hang tight.

in exactly... 11 days from now, we will be playing UT 3 :D

fixed+QFT.

If I'm amazingly lucky I'll get my hands on it on the 29th... otherwise it could be the 30th. If I'm unlucky, it'll get pushed back further because there has been no official announcement as to the release date... joy.

[JohnnyWakko]

Link or it is not true.

[Hypotenuse]

30th? and you're paying through the nose for it too? Austrailia wins the most screwed contest.

[otsego_amigo]

[Green_Day_584]

HAHA Booya! I have a 1.5Mb connection... and I hear we're being upgraded to 8Mbit > 24Mbit... Hardly world-shattering, but it's not TOO bad. It's enough to play at any rate. The real problem is ping to international servers :(

I payed $90 for my CE pre-order. That seems to be the standard cost of new games here... except for console games which go up to $120. It's never really bothered me too much.

The late release date always pisses me off though. Thankfully this one is only a couple of weeks. Sometimes it's months. I've bought DVD's from U.S. online stores before they're in the damn cinema here.

Word from the distributor is that it'll land on the 23rd.

And to get it:

And if you're in Adelaide, Berlin Wall will have it on the 23rd as well.

[Madmanxan]

im currently happy with the demo for now, just want some darn upgrades so it looks better and plays smoother :(

[Green_Day_584]

$h1t~! look @ the 'fo i jst dug up!

http://games.internode.on.net/content.php?mode=news&id=2213

as the guy before madmanxan said, it MAY be being released on the 23rd!

yay! :D

[isp_of_doom]

NZ's like AUS as greenday said, just we're smaller (downside), have less deadly beasts (upside), but more sheep... (downside)... Cow pushing is more available over here though.

Aboot UT3 prices. I'm paying NZ$129.99 for the CE. This is:
US$98
UK£48
AUS$110

[Madmanxan]

omg nice find green day :D even less time to wait :)

[isp_of_doom]

Hmm.. NZ is still saying 26th and 29th...

we'll probably get it last.

[JohnnyWakko]

Dude its the 29th for oz and nz ,you can take that too the bank


Those of you hanging out for the Australian release date for Unreal Tournament 3, you can relax. We're due to get the game just one day after the European release, with it arriving in Australian stores on November 23rd.______BFS


Was that supposed to be confusing?

Anyway, here is a link for the release date media release.

[Green_Day_584]

[Therealjoe]

I thought that in Australia you could get that satellite broadband.

An if your a certain distance from the nearest exchange then you get some money from the government.

Well thats what i heard.

[Green_Day_584]

well, we can get sattelite broadband... hmm... good point. i will look into both :D

[isp_of_doom]

uh... bad news for anyone in NZ, though I don't quite understand how europe can effect NZ so badly.

[Green_Day_584]

wait... if Australia is getting it one day after Europe (23rd), how come they're saying 2008? weird.

That's the ps3 on;y :rolleyes:

From November 23rd PC gamers will be able to pick up their copy of the game.

Then why o why do ppl in NZ have to wait 6 more days that sucks :eek:

thank you! It does indeed suck. Sadly I've already ordered my copy from EBGames, which says 29th... :(

I doubt one store would get them in 7 days before everyone else... sounds odd to me.
