    www.interactcd.com shipped even to the Czech Republic, so I guess they would be more than happy to ship to you, too. It took the shipment less than a week to cross the Big Pool to here.

      I can only assume they are going to ship it with the latest patch here, although ive seen this before, and what you end up with is exactly the same software, and a different cover/set of docs on the CD.

      As for me, well, im sick of waiting, so I booked myself on a BA flight to Toronto, will be there on 26th to pick up my copy ...

          If I am to buy PTW, it won't be for the multiplayer - it'll be for the new new civs and units, and mainly so I can keep in the modding 'loop'.

          btw, Vondrack - tried that site. It will indeed ship to the UK, but $40 is a bit much really. Guess I'll be waiting the two weeks

            Still not anxious enough, are you...? OK, wait 2 weeks and then, when it's still not out in the UK, remember the site...

            $10 for overseas shipping is just about the least you can get... but I do admit that paying $40 for an XP... one has to be nuts to pay that much.

                Here's why I preordered in the UK rather than in the US :
                I ordered a US version of Civ3 to be shipped to France :
                $45 for the game
                €15 for the shipping
                €15 for the toll
                €? for the bank transaction. (€1 ~= $1)

                With PtW being $30, I really didn't want to double the price for me. I preordered at amazon.co.uk (no toll, much fewer shipping costs), and I try to find a pirated copy before it arrives in my mailbox.

                  Hi ChrisiusMaximus .. Maybe if Id thought about it, I could have got a pot going, and bought a few versions and posted them on when I got back .. from what im hearing, I could have made a few bob and still been cheaper than getting it posted across the atlantic ..

                  Ohh well ..

                  The great fear is that Dec deadline will come, and still no game, and then suddenly it will be announced its not being distributed to Europe .. and all hell breaks loose .. so I thought I better get hold of it while I can.

                          I thought you were joking about flying to Toronto.
