Everyone knows that game developers love to take a **** on Europe whenever possible. Europe has always been an after thought in the gaming industry.

And yet there's a lot of money to be made in the EU. We buy as many - if not more - games than people in the US. We can afford to spend more on them as well. The only reason we're still considered a secondary market by many distributors is, I think, because there's so many different countries in Europe, bringing with it a heap of localization and distribution issues (different laws, taxes, age ratings, stores).

They also seem to prefer releasing games on fridays here, which is why we're usually a few days behind the US. I dunno why, I've heard it's something to do with store re-stock days.

Its bit funny as DragonAge CE had been delayed in Poland as well. EA was silent quite while about it and none could get any info from them. I hope it wont happen with ME2. I just checked my shop web and date is same as before - ships from 27

I really regret going for the physical CE now, and it's likely to be the last time. Such a shame.

I just have got mail from our distributor in Czech Republic saying CE is delayed to 2.2. Reason is due to delay in production of some CE item in China (confirmed by EA to this seller).

My mail said "the delay is due to a error in production".
Anyway, it seems pretty clear EA messed up with production, it has been confirmed by several retailers. What I really can not understand is: it is involved the localization??

If so, why countries like Belgium, Holland etc... that do not speak english have not this delay?
And how could it be for countries like Sweden and Finland that never had localization??

I really hope the comic and art book are not in local language... it would be so stupid to do so for countries that never had localized games, ....and not yet an official word.
...

Here in Holland it is also delayed. Check my post on this page. I just called FRS an hour ago.

I really hope i am getting it on the 2th then. Not on the 4th. I cant wait any longer!

Sad info for me BjorntjuNL, now I reallly fear EA screwed the CE here, with localized comic and art book, thanks EA. I purchased several CE of other games, none of them is localized, not to mention the better content...

Still waiting for an official word.

Well, hopefully Chris will have time to post when he gets to work... after the weekend the forums are in a disarray: spoiler attacks, torrent links, bonus content leaked etc.

Thread @ over 300 posts now.

Actually most people in Flanders and the Netherlands speak English because those are subtitle regions. We're 'dubbing = only for children' regions just like Sweden and Finland so there's no localization here either.

I think the reason we haven't heard anything from the devs is because they're trying to fix it in time.

Lets hope so. However it would be nice if we could get an compensation for this. Such as an code for the Terminus Gear. That would be really cool. Especially because here in NL we don't have that pre-order bonus. I only get the Inferno Armour. But i want that baddas Singularity cannon+armor!

You can hope, but I think they were just out for the weekend.

Yes Fred, other countries too, but all these countries have not english as first language. It seems to be a localization matter, and since the game itself is not localized in "subtitle regions", the most probable thing is they have localized the comic and/or the art book!
...which is incredibly stupid imo.

Indeed. The Benelux, Scandinavia and the UK are often heaped together for releases of games and movies, because most people in those countries prefer to use English audio. I live in the Netherlands and I can't remember any noteworthy games being dubbed in dutch since the release of the original Black and White and that one caused a veritable uproar in the gaming community. Germany and France on the other hand are really into dubbing and they usually have their own versions or a multi-language version as a result.

Hi all i've just got off the phone from GAME in the UK and they have said that the ME2 CE has not been delayed in the UK it is still coming out the 29th Jan.

Thanks for the update, Michael. It would appear that the UK is getting the CE on time then, although I have absolutely no idea why that is.

I assume that means they just did not get any information on a delay. unless they already got their shipment i would not count on that statement.

[Archmage Silvery]

That is also true, but since we've received no information from the UK regarding the delay, it would seem like they're getting the CE on time. We've got reports of the delay email rom all the countries I've listed in the first post, but not the UK.

One more week... Just one more... Your sanity can take it... Calm down... Calm down...

[Archmage Silvery]

One more week if you get it on the official release date that is. More if you got hit by the delay. On a side note, I should really stop watching the launch trailer over and over again, it's making me think of the delay even more.

From another forum:

De Gamemania hier (Kortrijk, België) zegt dat ze de special editions binnen hebben nu woensdag. Spannend!

Translated:
"The Game Mania at Kortrijk, Belgium says that they will receive the CE on wednesday."

So confusing, although it would be so awesome that the GM shops in Belgium would receive is this week and the ones in The Netherlands next week .

I just decided to order an ADDITIONAL copy at amazon.co.uk. They whole issue of whether or not it's delayed or whether or not we germans get the english-voices in time for download is killing my joy of anticipation. So i decided to let the retailers have the trouble instead. If the german version isn't delayed and the english voices are available, then it's "return to sender" for amazon. If not, well then gamestop can shove their CE for good.

Current local time in Edmonton, Alberta: 08:12 AM

Now I'm getting reports of more and more people already playing the game legally. And I know I'll have to wait a week and a half at best... this delay is annoying, to put it mildly.

Yesss... very awesome.
Because you wish the delay on anybody? Where did you order your copy? I'm sure it would be no bother to get the store to cancel your order. ¬___¬
