To achieve this, the manufacturers of DVD hardware and software have agreed to define regions and assign them to world territories as follows:

Region 1 - USA, Canada and US territories

I'm waiting on a Canadian member of our group, to get in from work, if they will not ship to him, I will make a 2nd purchase and send it to him.

US publisher is supposedly being announced soon, meaning US retail discs on store shelves.

How do you know this?

[icfhoop 0]

It was announced by BI a few weeks ago, and I believe on twitter.

[BeerHunter 0]

I contacted CDWOW about shipping to Canada and they said no problems,they ship many items up here.

It's true, there's a press release imminent to confirm US publisher and release date.

Oh man, please let them bump up the Steam release date too! The wait is killing me. :D

Steam is garbage, I would rather buy a copy from amazon co.uk. I can't believe they went with steam? You can't even mods games on steam or it won't even run the game, plus the extra lag on your cpu from having to run steam just to play arma? Whatever if I have to pay some extra money for shipping the best war game ever made, so be it. I'm getting a GTX-285 2gb oced from Newegg, just for this game. Should run nicely with my Phenom 2.3 x4 and 4gb of 6400

Not true, I have used Steam for while now & have never had a problem adding mods to Arma1. Also not true is that it will put a drain on your cpu. First, you don't even have to run Steam to play Arma, I know, I've been doing it for years.

And even if you do, it's not doing anything to take up cpu power, it acts no different that Xfire, which only makes you aware if someone wants to chat while your ingame, which you can disable.

The price is dependent upon where you live. I don't know if Steams price is higher for you than some other vendor, but for me (US fan) it's the same.

It's why I am waiting for the press release for the US publisher before I pre-order on Steam. Though the press release can't come soon enough. That $50 is burning a hole in my wallet.

whats the deal with this...

Developer: Got Game Entertainment

Love how EB does things like that all the time.

[Dangerdog 0]

Never heard of them before, looking at the games they publish it's no wonder.

Oh well, at least there will be a boxed version for the US market.

[TCEd 0]

I've bought games from EB before, didn't have any problems. It's just another place to buy the game.

[hoak 0]

Hmmm, who are these guys? If they are the North American Publisher, anyone have any idear what kind of DRM they typically roll games with? It looks like their prices are reasonable, but shipping is going to kick their on site price point over the price of Steam (rather like EB Games with shipping and/or tax)...

:confused:

.... that what I really want to get this time ...

NO MORE ANY DIGITAL DOWNLOADING VERSIONS

I'm so tired of online activation that never happens from the first time. You always have to write email to support center so to proof that you actually have download ur version and provide ur serial. And if you do it day time ( in the US ) it's usually evening in Europe so you can't play in hour or so but you have to wait next day to get reply from Europe.

It happens with my Arma1 EVERY time when I reinstall my windows and I do it once per 4-6 months. So, I have been activating my digital version of Arma1 around 6-7 times and it always was like this. NO MORE OF THIS CRAP, I want my box version !!!!

I went with CD WoW...make take a couple extra days, but at least you know what you are getting

[Xenios 0]

Actually, the CD Wow package might arrive before June 29. If it shipped on June 19 plus 7-10 days for shipping. And it's $10 cheaper than EB, so that sounds like a pretty good deal.

Out of curiosity, has anyone pre-ordered from EB games, although I will probably do a little more looking into the publishing co., I was just wondering has pre-ordered from them yet?

I placed my order with them. They were the only retailer to sell Soviet Assault when I was looking for it. I'll keep you guys posted when I receive the English version as I am dreading I got the German version and didn't wait for the English release.

EB Games and Gamestop are one and the same, Gamestop bought out EB a long time ago.

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=75135

They're responsive in terms of getting stuff shipped out usually a day after the posted release date, how fast it gets to you depends on how much you want to pay in shipping.

[Amuro 10]

CD WoW! is headquartered in Australia, with partner drop shippers in China and Western Europe. There's more info earlier on in the thread...

Maybe, but I doubt they're operating in Australia, because there's no way they can sell games at $39.99 including free worldwide shipping, and still make money, considering games cost like $80-100 there.

Edit

I checked their Terms and Conditions, and it turns out CDWOW! is owned and operated by Stomp HK Ltd. If they're operating in Hong Kong then it explains the cheap prices. PC games are like $30-32 here, then they can add $8-10 for worldwide shipping via airmail.
