BF2:SF Availability in Australia...

[imported_NoRC]

Ok, so I was down at EB Games today and I figure well the release date is the 22nd so I might actually put some money down on 2 copies of the game today for me and my gf... but EB Games (Pac Fair) is telling me they wont have it in store till the 28th of Nov.. Urgh this sux! Here i am thinkin woot for next week.

Yes i am aware of the EA Download service, but that actually works out $2 more than buyin the game itself in store. Not that i really want to save money, but if i buy a game i want a box & cd to sit on my game shelf.

So my question is, will anywhere have it before the 28th of Nov here in australia...?

Well unfortunatly you don't have many options, here are a few :
Buy 2 copies of the download service and buy two more 'hardcopies' later
Wait until the 28th
Fly to America and buy it on the 22nd (cheaper option above)
Or why don't you just buy one or two of the digital download and then buy just one of the BF2:SF 'hardcopies'?

Only a guess but you'll probably get better help at the EA BF2 Oz forums.

the download service is a rip off if its actually more expensive than a real copy with the disc etc.

Thery should have made it half price, becuase apart form anything else EA are cutting out the middle man as well as not having too manufacter anything all they have to do is allow some of the servers too get raped.

There just trying too rip people off and double there margin.

It's only a few more dollars more expensive if you buy it from Australia.
I would go for it if you want to play it early!

It looks like the BF2:SF will come the November 24:th here in Sweden, which is very chockin', because Dice (www.dice.com) is from Sweden, Bf2 is accualy a 50% swedish game (50%: EA Games America, 50%: Dice Sweden). Very, very, different.
