So much for Global release.

[Roncatto]

Just checked out Game and other stores here in UK and we aint getting the game till 2nd September.

I know its called "America's Game" but bit harsh on fans over here that we have to wait till the friday whilst everyone else gets to play it on the Tuesday.

Don't expect any replies just a statement of annoyance

that's standard. US new releases come out on a tuesday, UK is always friday. though a few preorder places send it out early so you can sometimes get it thursday.

Does Amazon UK ship early? I'm probably ordering from them. Its not releasing till Sept. 8th in Germany so look on the bright side

Re: So much for Global release.

you'll get it on thursday if you go with shopto.net. they guarantee delivery by release so always post 2 days before..it's not the ideal but it's the best option for Brits; plus, it's only two extra days of playing the demo, no biggie; it is, after all a minority sport here.

Thats why here in Australia I buy games overseas. not only are they about 50 to 60 dollars cheaper but you get the dam game on time (yes I know it somtimes takes a week) but id rather wait the week then pay extra rip off retail prices they have here $100 to $110 for a game is a joke

I think Shop.To is also the cheapest, so win/win, really!

The last sentence is: "MADDEN NFL 12 erscheint am 8. September 2011 für Xbox 360 und PlayStation 3."

Thanks for the tip. I guess I'll try shopto.net. Sept. 2 is faster than ordering from Amazon US with priority shipping. And there's no worries about extra taxes.
