Australian Availability Report

[DanQ]

From ACS' CivIV section:

Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS) visitors Peter "The Comedian" and Orin Thomas emailed the ACS http://apolyton.net/about/10/129/" TARGET="_new">News Department yesterday to report on Civilization IV`s availability in Australia. Both report November 3rd of this year as the game`s release date in the Oceanic country and continent. This date has yet to be confirmed by CivIV publisher 2K Games, a wholly owned subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, or developer Firaxis Games so far. Thomas http://www.gameswarehouse.com.au/lon...p?gameid=11081" TARGET="_new">provides specific reference to Games Warehouse (GW) that displays this date.

From GW, CivIV can be pre-ordered for $77.95AU which is an approximate 13% savings off of the suggested $89.95AU retail price.

Sweet, I've been wondering about this. I thought I'd bump this thread so my fellow Australian civ fans could see this.

If you live in Sydney, Harvey Norman at Moore Park Supercentre reckons they will have it on 3rd November. I think EB (also at Supercentre) will also have it on 3/11/05.

BTW IIRC Harvey Norman was offering $10 off if you preorder. (I have no idea what their price will be)

November 6th or 8th in Australia. Any ideas on why you lot get it sooner?

[James]

The wait is a weight.

[Demon Rob]

where did you hear the 6th or 8th?
All the shops have been saying the 3rd,
except for csw saying the 5th.

(and why did you start a new australia thread?)

[James]

what region are you in D Rob?

[Demon Rob]

melbourne (ringwood)

[Demon Rob]

just a bump so this thread goes ahead of the other australian thread! I don't like it, it says 6-8th, this one is much better.

[James]

Melbourne is a good town. I like the MCG for watching my South Melbourne Swans Wish I had been their for the Grand Final.

[Demon Rob]

Bloods were good.
Being there was good too!

(Swans are the family team, see if you can guess who my actual team is?)

Is the MCG one of the wonders in Civ4?


and Whatever happened to Scrapper82. Are his 6-8 claims rubish or does he have something to back it up with?

Edit: no longer needed

[Demon Rob]

from locutus in the other thread: "Please use this thread: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...threadid=140323"

but this thread has no references to the MCG!

(and thats what I said back in post #3 of that thread, to use this thread). Still waiting to find out where the undesirable 6th to 8th dates came from. Might just ignore them and buy it on the third anyway.

I called EB last Friday and they advised that the release date is November 3rd. The bloke also advised to call 1 or 2 days before to confirm.
