    First; my pre-order has not been altered, so fingers crossed.

    Second; if what they claim is true, they are being banned from shipping internationally by an outsider. That would be Infogrames or Firaxis. Has anyone emailed them to ask what they're thinking?

      Dan's response to the issue is in another thread:

      This basically confirms what I previously stated: blame Infogrames.

        Thanks. Shame on those that cursed Dan. You should apologise.

        I am considering what to do if Amazon cancels my order. I may join the bargain bin team. I am pissed.

          "Well, a vile stab in the back courtesy of Firaxis/Infogrames. This attitude of "america first" is belittling and very frustrating to all international customers."

          Yeh, those French and their "America First" attitude really gets in my craw, too!
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            My e-mail conversation with them:

            >Thanks for your polite response. I am still not so good at being
            >able to read between the lines so the answer is that I should
            >cancel my U.S. order because you won't ship my order to
            >Finland?

            Thanks for writing back to us at Amazon.com.

            Unfortunately, it does say on the detail page of "Civilization 3": "Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S." so, yes, I am afraid you will have to cancel your order.

            ...

            Thank you for shopping at Amazon.com.

              Welcome to being shafted up the arse by Infogrames, who seem to be too incompetent to organise a simultaneous release. It is nearly a 3 week difference. And yet, when you try and get around it by shipping from abroad, they won't let you do this. Why? Very stupid!

              Sometimes I think total and utter f**king idiots are in charge of these companies.

                          As I said I was only trying to provoke some useful response...I have sent infograms e-mails but they don't answer

                          Paws crossed hoping my copy of LE ships regardless of the confusing statement put out by Amazon...and remember it is nearly November the 5th so I can send anyone a rocket!



                          As per my sig: "I want the future now!" a future where I have civ3 LE!

                            It is now 30 October. My order at Amazon has not been altered. It still says Item Not Yet Shipped, same as it has said for a month. I am going to wait this out. If it hasn't changed on 1 November (allowing for time difference) I will email them.

                            If they cancel, I am going to ask why they didn't inform me earlier. I am not going to be a happy customer, given the sore arse I have now.

Lighten up and laugh at Sid the Advisor or something.
