i saw that one too, but it's too expensive for me...

end of the month it'll be available for 20£ or 30€ at amazon, so about 45-50 CHF.

Apparently: In Finland the PTW will be available on the 20th of Dec 2002 (instead of 22nd of Nov 2002).
Disappointed!!!

I noticed that, too. Although my order status still says "Dispatch estimate: November 22". Why the heck can't they ship it, if others can?

Apparently there seems to be somekind of trouble with the installation of the european version. Or so they have said in our local stores...

Bought my copy from WHSmith , it was fairly well hidden and appeared to be the only copy they had. I wasn't even looking for it as Ii wasnt expecting it to be out till dec13 (the date amazon had)

Neither Game nor MVC (the other 2 local stores that sell games) had it

That's very odd. You're right when you say it isn't supposed to be out until the 13th. My brother works in a GAME store and confirmed to me today that it won't be on their shelves until the 13th.

Strange....

Magnu: What town/city did you buy it in? Do you know anybody else that has bought it? Have you seen it on sale anywhere else since you got your copy?

Sorry for all the questions, it's just that I'm rather keen to get this game.

It was the WHS in Horsham , as i said it was the only copy to be seen and i haven't seen it for sale anywhere else.

I think I've seen mention that someone else had bought the game in the UK under much the same circumstances as me (only 1 copy in the shop and not a prominient display)

UK release tomoorow?
I'm getting up early to go to my local Game store tomorrow (06-12-2002), they told me that's when it goes on sale (about 10 days ago).

I'm looking forward to kicking some *** on mp!

I was under the impression that it wasn't out until the 13th. However, there are many conflicting reports coming in.

Good luck with getting it. Be sure to let us know if you are successful.

About the UK still not getting it ,
This is way strange, 'cause my version says,
"distributed by infogrames U.K."

Weird, very weird !!

apparently AmazonUK have started shipping it now, which I can only assume means it will be in shops from today.
