N3 in the UK

i have just been quoted release dates of 5/11 from *** and 12/11 from MVC for this game. Grrrrrrr Some nerve for a game which went gold so long ago

>i have just been quoted release dates of 5/11 from *** and 12/11 >from MVC for this game. Grrrrrrr >Some nerve for a game which went gold so long ago What? Gutted, I am. Time to start a rumour - The delay of N3 in Europe is because it will be based on the GPL engine for the more 'refined' European tastes. How's that? Cheers, Mark Reading, UK

Homeworld is also suffering. I figure it's all about Havas (nee Sierra) trying to move their sales as close to Xmas as possible to increase their market share over that period. The problem is if they release now the games will be off the "New Releases" section and into the mass of shelving before the big rush comes so they hold back. Apparently in the US that's not the case. M

> Will it even be released over here ? Who cares? Contact some dealer who ships small quantities over from the US. That's what most people in Finland do. -- Toni Lassila

That's what most people in Finland do. Or do what I did. Ask a friend on vacation in the US to buy a copy. (He actually bought a bunch of games for me. Threw away the boxes, tore off all the shrink-wrap and shit, threw away all the silly pamphlets and registration cards and poured everthing in the bottom of his bag). /peter

Sorry, but isn't Homeworld out? or am I playing something else here in the UK. Andi. > Homeworld is also suffering.

Say it isn't true! -- Peter Ives

Here in Italy N3 is available since 26 September. Contact www.computerone.it Stefano

It is now... last time I checked it was on delay for reasons unknown. M

I should also add that inexplicable some stores are still saying it's unreleased... most confusing. M
