but be warned! He wanted £17.30 on the spot for import charges and "broker surcharges".

AND he didnt have any change - he could take a cheque or he could "come back tomorrow" when i had the right change.

Jesus christ, £17.30 ??

It already cost £41!

I've only got my debit card on me, and there isn't much chance of me being able to get to the bank before lunchtime.

(I'm gonna play on Eclipse too I think, I'll let you know what I'm called once I've secured my name :p)

Quick update...

Just received mine from UPS.. didn't pay a penny for import duty/VAT or "broker surcharges". Bloke handed me the package, I signed the electronic thing and he left.

Sorry to hear that you did. :(

I'd give them a call, they obviously don't know where your house is. :(

So looks like I won't be playing it any time soon.

I ordered mine from game.uk.com , and it doens't look very hopefull. I placed my order on the 24th, its now the 1st of july and my order's status is
"Your order has been received and is currently awaiting authorisation or release. "

The game is released on the 26th, why havn't they processed my order.

Well, they've lost my custom for the future.

Hope you guys get your copies soon, i know i wont =/

I'm assuming thats with dvdboxoffice? How long ago did you order if you dont mind me asking?

Incidentally, I cancelled my order from GAME after it was evident that they weren't getting the game until the same time as Amazon - i.e. 26th December.
