Runaway in UK

Themis · 11-14-2003, 10:00 PM

I 'd like to ask you what happened with the release of Runaway in UK. Amazon.co.uk had posted that it will be released in November 14th, same day with BS3, but it didn't. Now its new release day is 24th February (or was it 30th?

)! I can't figure out what is happening. The worst thing is that Runaway is blocking my order which among other things includes BS3. Could UK guys tell me whether Runaway has been released there or not?

Thank you, Themis

I can't help you with the release date, but isn't it possible to tell Amazon to break up your order and just send what's available immediately if certain items aren't in stock at the moment? I've done that in the past.

I don't think GMX will ever release Runaway in the UK, as far as I've heard, they have many lawsuits from different developers. If I were you, I would just drop Runaway from your Amazon order and try Amazon.com instead.

At least last time I used Amazon, they did that "send what's available" thing automaticly.

I just waited in order to reduce the deliverance cost between UK and Greece. I think I 'll drop the Runaway order. Do you know by any chance where I can get an English version of the game? I 'd prefer somewhere in Europe, as an oversea order has to go through the customs and they are preatty mean people ;-)

Dunno. I think Runaway was released in English version in Norway and Sweden. Maybe someone from there can help.

Why not try www.dvdboxoffice.com. Prices are very reasonable and shipping costs are excellent. My game arrived after 4 days to the UK!
