Question about ordering a game from another country

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 6:59 am

Well, i'm sure im one of the many who has just recently found out that the UK PC Collectors edition of Darksiders 2 is NOT going to be stocked! Yet the 360/PS3 versions are there for all, totally gutted.

However, both SPAIN and Germany as well as austria ARE stocking them, as i was surprised to see...

Anyway, my question is, would I be able to order from say Germany and Spain, the PC version, and be able to select "English language" on the installation? Would this also include the english audio?

I was also thinking of ordering from america but i can't unfortunately since no-where ships there.

I could pre-order now from gamestop.de for €79.99 but also the art book and everything like that would be in german too wouldnt it...ugh.

I'm at a loss here, anyone any ideas lol?

The only thing i can think of doing, is ordering say maybe the 360 or PS3 version from play.com, then just buying the PC GAME seperately...certainly gonna be expensive!

I Dont care about the armour set in game, i'd just rather have the death mask/soundtrack/art book and yeah.

Unless somewhere like CeX would allow me to exhange the 360 version for just either cash or the PC version...hmmm, think i'll have to do that!

Would do you guys reckon? It's such a fuss I know...but I just can't believe there leaving us out AGAIN ugh!

Noone can know that for sure, except THQ themselves, seeing the game isn't released yet.

Some games you buy in Germany include english and some do not, it's a gamble.

@pokoyo nope no luck ireland already checked

I dislike gambles...hmmm, worth a shot asking them but i wouldnt want the artbook in ger...wait a sec, it's an artbook lol it's not gonna be in german xD! It's not like the CD is gonna be in german language either haha im stupid!

Well, atm amazon is winning with the cheapest price being £60 for the 360 CE version. the only thing is though it that it's amazon...there probably going to send it in a box the size the of the moon, with so many little boxes i'd be able to form my own box eutopia of buildings and structures, on my said aqcuired box moon :banana: ! lol.

Debating...

EDIT

GAME France has it...but again, waiting to see if D2 team can tell me if euro versions contain english audio and text..

Aha!! Just had an idea!! Darksiders 1 on steam allows you to select between languages! Ive just changed it to "french" from "english" and it's downloading what i guess is the french audio files! Perhaps this is good news? Assuming D2 will have steam integration...

Could you import from the USA? I've done that in the past, it worked fine.

Could try that...

But what about my steamworks idea? Just found out D2 will SUPPORT steamworks, so if i install the french version...surely it once it's installed i'd be able to select "english" in the "language" tab in the games properties? At least i hope so...it makes sense, i don't see why that wouldnt work?
