Hey,

I was in Pensacola, USA this last week and thought I would drop by the local EB Games to see if they had the game on their shelves. I've already got the game (as I preordered it), but was wondering if it was out there for people to see and buy. Unfortunately, they didn't have it.

Has anybody seen the game in any shop?

We spotted it in Epsom GAME, though only in the back room, not on teh shelves. Hopefully it will find its way out soon!

One (or both) of Manchester's Trafford Center GAME stores has copies of it, I got an SMS of a mate of mine saying so

They're planning to release it in Spain on december 2nd (I think), but I won't go to my local game store, because Football Manager 2006 and Civilization IV are oh so tempting...

...I've already bought "The Movies", couldn't wait more...

Amazon.com (USA) says they won't have it until the 23rd Dec. My wonderful wife ordered a copy for my birthday.

Ave,

I just spotted Legion Arena for sale by Amazon.com for $35.99. I tried to write a review and thought to include a link to this Forum but was unable to do so. Would anyone else care to have a go? It could be very beneficial to us all!!

Thank you for your showing interest in Japanese culture. So I try to explain in my bad English.
Before that, I bought US version,published by Lago Srl. And version is 1.01 and I checked its the latest version once on the net.

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.69833 ... 9499&hl=en
Above is where Akihabara (秋葉原) is. It's in Tokyo(東京). Tokyo is capital of Japan. And Population is more than ten million including its sorrounding cities.
There are lots of electrics appliance stores, game-soft stores, DVD shops, so it is a kind of town for "nerd geeks".
And there are several shops which deals foreign PC games.

And let me show you railway map of Tokyo.
http://www.jreast.co.jp/map/pdf/map_05.pdf (this is Japanese version)

http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/info/map_a4ol.pdf (this is English version)

So akihabara is one of transfer stations surrouding hearts of Tokyo. Other transfer station are Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, and Shibuya.
As this map if JapanRailway's company railways only, so Shibuya is written in small character. People transfer to other railway companies there.
And these transfer stations are famous for its shopping districts. Historically, these districs were developed after World War 2.

Also, there are subways. Here is http://web.yl.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/jp/map.gif the map of Tokyo metro. JR(Japan Railway)'s rails are indicated by white and black line.

Off the topic
I read through Beta test players' list. And a few of them seems to be Japanese names. Quite interesting. Maybe there are some other language which
person's name is similar to Japanese. Maybe they are Japanese, maybe they are learning Japanese language right then, or somekind of MMO's spinoff.

Off the topic 2
Japanese computer geeks(well, I'm not,as am not good at coding) are tend to buy thing online.
So amazon jp http://www.amazon.co.jp/
楽天(rakuten)　http://www.rakuten.co.jp/
And those people who play MMO, too. So if things possible, I want to see them sell Legion Arena.

What Possum says is right. Now, I know in what way to explain Akihabara.

And the last line, I don't agree. It seems bad words spread sooner to the world.
