What stores in Australia are stocking the Limited Edition?

from Elemental Forums

Frogboy, or someone else from Stardock, what stores in Australia are stocking the Limited Edition of Elemental, or would I have to specifically get a store to order a copy of the LE in?  A few Australian (online) stores currently have the standard Elemental, but I have not been able to find any stores selling the LE yet.

Best regards,
Steven.

I haven't been able to find any brick and mortar selling the regular edition. Eb's and GAME don't have it. Makes the odds of getting the limited edition anywhere other then impulse rather slim (You know given the current exchange rate, even with the $20 shipping it still probably works out cheaper that way you know).

Quoting kryo, reply 1
The surest way to get the limited edition would be to order direct from us. The primary launch is Aug 24, though I'm not sure offhand what our AUS partners have planned specifically. Their box versions and contents may vary.

Hope this help.

For those in Western Australia, it seems that the Limited Edition is not available from Australian retailers or online PC games stores, so you will probably have to order the Limited Edition direct from Stardock.  See this post.

Best regards,

from my questioning of the three main game shop chains ie eb games, game AND jb hifi the ONLY version that is likely to be available in australia in retail is the standard version as there is only ONE product code for elemental at all interative distribution which is the confirmed distributor for two of the three and eb games stores have no idea who the distributor is for ANY of their products.

the release dates given to me by the three are

jb hifi was told the 19th of august, but no real idea when the distributor will ship

eb games has the release date listed as the 9th of september in their computer systems

and game has the release date as the 30th of september.

based upon the conflicting and confusing information, I suggest ordering through impulse for all elemental purchases.

I wasn't able to find the limited edition anywhere in oz.

Both Gamehead and N3VRF41L had the standard box listed as being released on August 19 but a few days ago changed their sites to show that it was out of stock.  I pre-ordered it through Gamehead (as my monthly download limit, which I share with someone else is currently 2Gb) a couple of weeks ago when they were suggesting it would ship on the 19th (figuring I'd get by about the 24th) but they haven't shipped it yet.

Certainly seems like the distributor is f@#$ing around.

Curious to know when we might eventually get it...?

It's Australia... So traditionally... 3-6 months after everyone else. :-P

Seriously though once the distributor has the game boxes, they'll want them on the street as quickly as possible (Storage is not cheep) so probably within the next week or two they'll start showing in whatever stores agreed to stock it.
