Runaway 2 out in Australia!

HybridMATRiX · 12-07-2006, 01:54 AM

Yes it's true, Runaway 2: Dream of the Turtle has just been released in Australia for an RRP of AU$69.95. Needless to say I am shocked and YES it is in English.

So first we get Sherlock Holmes: The Awakening early and now this. Hmmm.

If this is true... Do you know any Australian online gameshops that will ship to Sweden? I've been waiting for this too long allready.

chocolade · 12-07-2006, 04:22 AM

Pre-order release on: 08/12/2006

is thats mean it will be there tommorow ? i mean at least in Israel its now 07 of december .
So it means the game will be there tommorow ?

Thnx for help .

And in English ?
Is there any different between australia and uk/usa english language ?
Something strange here !

Maybe the site i found is mistake with the dates ? And also this guy here who opened the thread ?

I mean did you go physical to a shop/store and see the game box ?!@

None of them send it to Israel .

two send it tow australa only area. the other one is strange they send stuff to Gaza Strip and other places like Bet Lechem in Israel and other countries but i didnt fin Israel. so strange and scary. Gaza strip is in israel also bet lechem . grrrrrr

Haha! I was gonna start a similar thread - I noticed it in the latest EB Games (Electronics Boutique) catalog tonight. Had a quick glance on the shelves, but couldn't see it unfortunately.

Might have a bit more of a look in a different EB tommorrow to see if I can find a copy (on sale for $52AU).

Couple of sites selling it (not sure if they ship international):

So "Shopping Trolley" isn't a standard phrase worldwide?

Crikey!

Laser Eyes · 12-07-2006, 10:31 PM

Games Warehouse are very reliable. I order from them all the time. There was discussion of a Collector's Edition on the official forums. Does anyone know what happened to that?

eriq · 12-07-2006, 10:43 PM

Games Warehouse does NOT have any in stock and they never did. It's just been released and they're expecting shipments:

-------

Hi Eriq,
Yes we can ship Runaway 2: The Dreamm of the Turtle for the PC to USA (our console titles are PAL format and will not work on US NTSC consoles) The shipping cost (insured Airmail) would be about $35 Australian depending on size weight and insurance required.
The delivery time for AirMail is 7-20 working days, see http://www1.auspost.com.au/international/
Your order total would be $54.50 + $35 = $ 89.50Australian dollars.
Can be converted to your local currency here http://www.xe.com/ucc/
We accept payment by Credit Card (American Express, VISA and Mastercard) or we have a personal PayPal account ([email protected]) which can be used to pay us in Australian dollars if you already have a balance in your PayPal account (NB: our PayPal account cannot accept credit or debit card payments or payments in currencies other than Australian dollars) you could also make payment using a Cashiers Cheque (Bank Cheque) or International Money Order in Australian Dollars.
Currently this title is on back order and we are waiting on more stock to arrive.
Thanks,
