This is the first I have heard of a date change in Australia. I am checking with the Aus team to find out if this is true or not.

[Edge2177]

Can probably download it before the release. Maybe.

Bump.

So is it true or not?

[Bryy_Miller]

Give him time to respond. Been less than a day.

[Killer3000ad]

Also it's Australia Day today, so the Aussie team are probably on holiday.

[DesmondMiles]

if this is true i will rage, i managed to get the day off on March 10th if thats the aus release date to play some sweet dragon age 2 lovin

Somewhat related, is the pre-order sword and shield available in Aus? The only pre-order bonus I can find from any retailer is a mouse pad.

[Stinkface27]

This is extremely uncool if it's true.



It'd be very cruel to have Australians pay double the price of the rest of the world and get it weeks late as well. With that much of a release difference, I'm sure any Aussie would have chosen to pre-order it overseas for half the price and get it before the 24th.



Especially rude considering it's too late to cancel and pre-order somewhere else now without losing our pre-order bonuses.



And to the "get a life it's just a game lolol!1" trolls - considering the sheer volume of outrage and entitlement on this forum, I think it's fair to guess what the reaction would be if this were happening to the USA...so let's not go there.

[TheGunslinger]

Oh no..

[Ninotchka]

EBGames still states 10th March, now with the added bonus of a DA2 mouse mat for preorders...

[Andraste_Reborn]

Oooo, a mouse mat!



... really, I get ridiculous over this game. I don't even use a mouse mat most of the time! But for DA swag I am easy. Waiting impatiently for my box of action figures to arrive in the mail.

[Leonia]

Omg, me too. *can't wait for her Loghain figure to get here*



Any news Evil Chris?



I wonder how this effects those of us who ordered from OzGameshop (since I think they are actually in the UK).

[Lucy Glitter]

=[

[raven_corrino]

Maybe it's the distance in shipping from US to Australia?

[Eudaemonium]

Damn, why don't I get a mousemat in the UK =(. Not that I actually use one, so it'd be kinda useless.

[Sketchy77]

Guys, Chill...out



I'm from Australia also.....and I pre-ordered my copy of DA2 from EB games also.....and twice I was reminded the game is being released on the 11th Of March.

:lol:

16 days worth of distance......

[Azjurai]

Very odd since even down here in NZ we're still on for the 11th of March o.O



No mousepad from our EB stores though

[Erinpedz]

release date is for the 11th in New Zealand thank god lol Shouldn't Aussie be the same?

We either get a pacific or a european version of games in Australia. We never get the US region version.

[Wompoo]

According to my reciept from JB HiFi it is the 10th.

edit
Also according to their web site it is still the 10th and Thursday is when new games are always released..

Actually, only one person is responsible for our terrible rating system, some Member of Parliament
(bassicaly a senator, except Australian) in South Australia State is a
real activist against videogames, and he's apart of the rating board, and
he holds up as many violent games as he can. And Australia can't do
anything about it. Most people (everyone) do not like what he does.

Not quite that simple, to change the law it requires all states to agree. At present they are trying to get a rating 18. However, like so many things, some bumps (mainly some very conservative politicans in WA, lobbying against it).

What i mean is, for a game to be passed into Australia, all board members from the seven states and territories have to agree on it. Hes the member from SA, and he always dissagrees, and thats how so many games are banned/censored. Or something similar to that.

There is a petition (that i have signed even) for a R18+ rating to be introduced for videogames.

[Firky]

I'm pretty sure DAII passed MA15+. Without any changes, I assume.

But yes, lack of 18 rating is a problem.
