Amazon UK not an option drat :(

Post by MrsWargamer »

Man the price of the pre order for the DS copy of CEAW looks nice, I'd be filling in my pre order right now if they shipped to Canada. I even wouldn't mind not getting free shipping.

But I just want to confirm, there won't be a problem buying direct from the Slitherine store function correct?

What's the price planned to be? Is it possible to state yet? What is the norm on shipping as well? Is credit card an option like is the norm most of the planet? And I assume all that VAT nonsense only applies to you Euros correct?

I keep looking at the store interface here, and nothing yet, it's depressing no pre order perk :(

I'm almost tempted to get an Irish online friend to order it and have him send it to me in private mail :)

We will be selling direct and shipping worldwide from the site, but we can't price match Amazon. We'll be selling at the RRP. If we go any lower we get big problems with retail...

What's the release date again? The Slitherine Store says "March 2009," but today's the 12th and I'm wondering how long I have to wait (I don't want to get an ulcer!).

I can be found and quoted as saying I would pay quite a bit for it Ian :) and I meant it eh :)
Although only an idiot passes up a good price.

Just so long as I don't need to rely on my no where town's one only retailer that wouldn't stock it unless I paid for it in advance.

What does RRP mean" Required retail price? Realistic retail price?

Recommended Retail Price - that's the price we say the game should be sold at. I need to check what that is as I don't remember!

I bought it last night from ebay.co.uk - easily. The selling price came out to approx. $32 (USD). It's on its way! :D

Hmmmm somehow though, buying from eBay any location is too much like getting sex from a working girl though.

I wouldn't touch eBay with YOUR credit card information let alone mine :)

I'm ok just waiting for Slitherine. Well I'm not ok with the waiting part, but the Slitherine part is cool :)

Come on now, don't make me feel dirty. ;)

I teach school, and my Spring Break begins this Thursday. I really want to spend some time while my workload is down playing this game.
