I bought my US copy of Civ3 from France through Gamestop and it worked just fine. Only that it costed 15 extra € for shipping AND yet another 15 € for tolls
That's why I bought my PtW from the UK. Unfortunately, I didn't imagine the UK versions of PtW would get as much screwed as other localizations

As I can recall, EU started out as a taxfree union.
So it's very suspicious if they can charge toll once inside.

Sorry, I wasn't clear : I bought my PtW copy in the UK precisely not to pay tolls and to pay lower shipping costs.
When I bought my vanilla Civ3 copy in the US, I was baffled at the sight of what I had to pay in shipping + tolls (30€ total
)

Spiffor, do you know of any U.S. military personnel stationed in the U.K.? If so, you can have the software sent to their APO address and bypass the tolls/high shipping costs....just a thought...of course it does take having a U.S. military/contractor contact.

I use to buy my US game versions through ebay.de. Just bought a GalCiv from a German seller for €42.50, including shipping
. This way, I bypass tolls and high overseas shipping prices.

As for the UK patch, they're still working on it. Waiting for it to be localised… After a couple of emails to Infogrames (UK), that was all they had to say.
But the most unfortunate thing is that despite this mockery of support and customer service, Firaxis is carrying on its partnership with Infogrames!Comment

I think Atari owns the license Civilization, and they decide which studio will develop games from this licence. So, Firaxis can not develop Civ outside of Atari's dominance
It is however very surprising that Firaxis have strengthened their partnership with Atari for other products, such as Pirates! and others
