Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted October 8, 2003 The pre-order pages for EB and GameStop are up. So do yourself a favor and go pre-order TODAY!! Pre-orders are becoming the standards which determine marketing, exposure, sell-in figures etc etc. I have closed this thread. So post in here if you must.

Spindoktor Report post Posted October 21, 2003 If you go to ebgames.com and select the "PC Games" tab, UC is a featured (I guess you could call it that) item on the right side of the screen. Hopefully it will generate some pre-orders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruis.In Report post Posted November 1, 2003 quote:=Shipping: Amazon.com's shipping rates and policies Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.darn, i prefer to order from amazon. i have an account with them and as such they don't carry me through the credit card red tape, i just add to account and confirm a checkout and thats it. all info is already in. ill wait to see if that status changes upon release.

Fiver Report post Posted November 4, 2003 It costs more, but there are services that reship from a US address. Just find a local shipping company that maintains a US address, pay the fee and agree to pay the shipping charges, then add that address to Amazon. After that you can order anything you want if you pay the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boodog Report post Posted November 11, 2003 No big surprise since perfection takes time, but the rls date has been pushed back to 11/20. As far as I'm concerned, take your time Derek! If it doesn't get released for another year in order to make it better, add new features, bug test, etc... us faithful will wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peterkist Report post Posted November 13, 2003 Odered mine a while back on EB-Games. Today I got an email that my order was cancelled, even though I got a confirmation email that stated the release date (no mention of cancellation in this second mail) a few days back. Naturally I replied to find out why it was cancelled (I didn't). Anyone else with this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spindoktor Report post Posted November 13, 2003 quote:Anyone else with this problem? I received a courtesy email from them a couple of days ago with a release date change from 11/13 to 11/20. Of course, thats not a cancellation. From their helpdesk: quote: It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain verification information from banks outside of the U.S. and Canada. All customers outside of the U.S. and Canada must contact their credit card issuing bank and ask them to release address verification information to EBgames.com. Without this verification we will be unable to process your International order. Could that be your problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peterkist Report post Posted November 14, 2003 Yes, that might very well be the problem. Do not have a reply from EBGames though. I'll just wait and see. If it fails, I can always try bying off the shelf over here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
