EU WotG Release (Ireland+UK)

[Draggy]

The correct answer is Amazon + Super-fast-mega-o-delivery and taking the day off work. :D

Same XD although post ppl like to take theor time here, i never expect to see my post until 12pm >.>

[Cesaria]

Least it's not yet another postal strike at the moment :D

[Lovian]

At least thats the only good thing cesaria (war of the lions took 1.5 weeks to get to me cause of that)

I got bitten with Play for ToAU, so this time I held out until Amazon had it available to order. Posted yesterday, normal first class, arrived at my work this morning. <3 Amazon.

[spd]

Game didnt post mine til this morning, (Thursday) now i gotta drive all over Northern Ireland to find a copy -.-;

i'll do the whole where's your managar thing if game give me any shit

[Sasarai]

@ spd, I got a copy in Game in Castlecourt Belfast (about 15 mins ago).

EDIT: Checked like 8-9 different other stores and nothing, including other Games too.

[Cesaria]

Game in Nottingham have it, but are adamant they're not selling it (PC version) till tomorrow

Looks like you got the stingy gits.

The main Game told me the same thing, so I just went to another one about half a mile away and they sold it no problem.

If there are any others nearby, try there.

[Lovian]

ohh Crap i hope i dont have to deal with fighting with game to get a copy later...
I'm terrible at i want to speak to the manager stuff, i'm just too nice.

[Cesaria]

Which one sold you it? I don't know which one it was that said no to my boyfriend - might dispatch him to the other one before he leaves work tonight :D

Burton have it in stock but their book says 23rd so they won't sell it today.

[Atlasion]

Game and Virgin (or whatever its called now) both said it would go on sale tomorrow. HMV and Gamestation didn't have a clue what I was on about

Some of my LS mates in England managed to get their hands on a copy today. Not sure if they had it preordered though.

[Kirst]

This may sound stupid but have you tried Woolworths? A friend of mine said he rang them yesterday (or visited them) and that they may sell it today.

[Gilanth]

Yup none is woolworths or smiths T_T

[Lovian]

why are they being total bastards... i dont know weather its worth my time to try after work or just go home and try tomorrow. Anyone in glasgow/hamilton had any luck?

[Raineh]

Yep, Silly sods....

Got the WOTG us installed and registered myself but im trying to get a key for the lass who got me my NA code, game, eplay, hmv, wollworths, currys, gamestation all said come back tomorrow... ffs what a wasted afternoon

Thing that got me is they said they have had lots of people in asking for it today, WHAT other ffxi'ers in Milton Keynes? wow o.O who! we could have our own little fan fest D:

[Lovian]

a UK fan fest would be suprisingly popular but SE doesnt see us as a big enough demographic hence us getting the game 1.5 years after the NA and 2.5 years after its inital release. Wish me luck trying to track down a copy tonight, think i am going to need it if not i guess it will just be tomorrow.

[Kirst]

I'd love a Fan Festival over here, but EU comes a poor third after JP and NA. GL with tracking down the game.

[Gilanth]

Anyone tried toys'r'us and Pc world?

[Cesaria]

Tried PCWorld in Derby - only had the FFXI starter pack (but our local PC World is crap). Even tried Asda with no luck there.

Toys R Us website doesn't even have it on - but you can buy a tacky Cloud Strife action figure.

[Hwang]

HMV near me said they had it down as being able to sell today...but they got no copies in >(
