I tried to get round it and used a virtual private network so that I could order as if I was from the US. Then last week BT limited my download speeds as the internet had been used too much. It's been 3 hours and dragon age isn't even on 10% download :'-(

have to wait 24 more hours cause some pesky little shop wants to capitalize...

Personally I couldn't care less. If I understand my EA Store DDE version off the game correct I can start the installation in 26 hours. I have waited for this game for the better part off 5 years. I can wait one more day without any problems whatsoever. Hell, I couldn't care less if I had to wait another week. Coz I got so many good shows and and games lined up I'd be to busy having fun.

If you can still afford them, I heard the BP isn't doing so well these days. Won't be long till the Euro is the number one currency in the world.

Wow, in the Netherlands, I just got an email that my copy is being sent. Should get it tomorrow then I guess.
But bleh, I can't play until next week wenesday, so it doesn't matter for me. Perhaps I can read the manual 20 times more then.

Ekas, i think its now been confirmed that it'll be the 6th along with the PC and 360 (not certain about this though so i might be wrong).
On the upside of us all having to wait - hopefully the issues that seem to be taking over the forum will be dealt with by the time we get it

Typical EA bull****...
I can't understand why it's so hard to make a global release nowadays with all the nifty tools such as "the internet", "steam" and "pre-loading"...
I pre-ordered the game to be sure to get it, I pre-loaded it to avoid server-overloads on releaseday and I spent almost 50 euro on it because I want to support the developers to ensure future games and to actually support those who have spent dire hours making an enjoyable passing of time for us busy folk
Yet here I am, with the game installed just waiting to be allowed to run, watching as my Canadian friend's been playing the game for over half an hour and someone's telling me the release might not even come on friday?
It's not like we Europeans aren't sick and tired of the crappy releases we get already, don't give us more reasons to turn towards piracy! The technology is there, make it happen.
For every time some get the game before others based only on what continent they live on, every time an already delayed release gets pushed up even more, you'll lose customers, both future and past... It's poor marketing, especially in this globalized computer-age we live in
I hate to say this as I'm against piracy, but part of me wish I had pre-ordered from a retailer so I could cancel the order and go torrent it somewhere... I'm just glad you had to pay right away on steam so I won't have to consider that option

sod off, the only people who have no clue about english are middle asian people, and the only people in europe who don't have a clue about english are Germany and France, and that's just silly national pride.
FYI danes just accept english versions so we sure as *insert red clownnose* aren't at fault.
oh god Game.dk please just send mine...
What are you talking about? Even the lowest grade standard schooling you can get in Germany includes at least basic English, last I checked.

I even bought the Digital Download Deluxe Edition and I still have to wait until the 6th :S Very annoying considering that if I had clicked the US copy rather than UK I might have it by now :S
Also, I do get aggravated by the large "Availible Now!" sign on the main page when I know full well I can't play until friday :S
