For Aussie Fans (Mainly Perth)

from Stardock Forums
Hi Guys,

I just ordered my copy of the game from ebworld.com for $66.99US. This is about $115Aus. I phoned EB Perth and the game is not even registered in their computer. Therefore I assume that IF the game is released it will take some time. Now all I have to do is wait....

I am very excited about this game. The only other game which I directly ordered overseas was Space Empires IV and I enjoyed that immensley. Can not wait....

Tony

PS. Thank you for supporting the game for one year. I find this is a unique stance to take in a world bogged down by money and expenses. The one thing that bugged me about Space Empire IV was that it cost nearly $100Aus to buy the GOLD version, which had a handful of real changes. I thank you frogboy and the crew for your support.

PSS. I noticed that it would be cheaper for Australians to order directly from galciv ($55.99US to $66.99US for EB) but I wanted the printed manual :) and the assurance of a large game company :)

PSSS. For the US gamers reading this...the average cost of a game in Aus (especially perth) is $79-$99Aus which correlates to a US cost of about $40-50.

Not if you buy directly from Stardock.

Then again, the manual is already outdated ;)

Howdy TNTTony,

I know what you mean about the price difference. I'll be in Melbourne at the beginning of June and I'm certainly going to check out the various prices on software. I'm in Houston, Texas BTW)

G'day mate!

Hi Gazza,

Good to see a fellow aussie on these boards. Are you going to get the game while you are in America???

I sometimes feel Australia is short changed when it comes to games. They come late and is more expensive. For instance, I ordered SEIV directly from USA. I have not seen SEIV being sold ANYWHERE in aussie land.

Cheers

Tony
