Why will it take MONTHS for the game to come to Europe?

[Your.Master]

Pure profit?

Considering it ships at the same time in Canada and Canada has a slightly less computer piracy rate and a slightly higher computer literacy rate, I'd say they have a higher % profit with us .

But, when your population is outnumbered 9:1, the return on investment always favours the big guy, unless they are communist.

Your.Master:
quick question:
I see that you are from ontario, but i will ask anyway. does the quebec province get the french verisio of games also? if so, do they get it at the same time France does, or sooner?

sorry if its a sore topic, i am not overly familar with the ontario/quebec relationship. i am just curious.

man, here in hungary the translation makes any game virtually useless unless, as an expat, you are vacant enough to learn hungarian, one of the wickedest languages ever....
i mean, they say 'bye' - 'viszontlatasra!' now you try

[Mankind]

viszontatalsra ehhhh viszontlatasra

hey we are from central Europe so probably don't have problems with spelling this languages

here 'bye' is 'dowidzenia' you want to try? nothing special...
try 'stó³ z powy³amywanymi nogami' this is
'Table with broken legs' but for some of my friends spelling it is horror

heh if they want to translate leave the original english alone!!

Viszont látásra. Actually, for any normal conversation viszlát or just a repeat of szia will do.

heh you say you are waching polish commercials ? why?
I'm watching Russian commercials sometimes because i want to...... .

yeah...

English version of Civ3 will be available in Poland on December, 3-rd. This year of course. At least official distrobutor claims.

I'll have to wait over 1 month.

I just hope they will not spoil the game in Poland by localising it (at least some will be available in original version).

Although I bet it will take ages to get it here.

Well, we will have EU2 and HoMM4 before to make the waiting easier.

[campmajor!]

Pfew, now I know why the Poles are booming on Locotus' list...
So many Poles around here...

I have already pre-ordered the limited edition, so I guess it will arrive here earlier than in the shops. But I will check them as well. If it is there sooner, than I'll buy the standard version in the shop as well. As long as I can play!!

No. Majority of games come in DVD cases, at least in the Netherlands.

Don't they come in DVD cases in the US too???
