Sidhe's Rugby Challenge

It's always the other way (US, Europe etc.) getting games well before we do (NZ) - a broken trend as of late however. It's only fair that when a game is made by a company based in NZ that we get it first

Gutting for us in UK but completely agree, fair enough!Load some vids for us when you get it!!

I think the RRL game took a month to reach blighty from antipodean release date!

 

[TRF_Cymro]

3 months I think ... I got my hands on a copy as soon as Amazon had them. Just hope its not a 3 month wait again.

 

[Gillymore]

Can't wait! I hated Rugby World Cup 2011 hopefully this will be much better.

I hated Tank Elite, hopefully RC will be much better.

Just a quick question, I know the SA teams aren't licensed but are the S15 SA teams still included just under different names? I read somewhere that the Lions are called Johannesburg or something like that.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, they're named after the places they're based

Correct...but you still will not find any known SA rugby players in these teams, as it's just a bunch of random players with no resemblance to any SA S15 team, not the jerseys....nothing.

So you'll have to edit everything.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys.

UK Retailers seemed convinced by a September 8/9th release date (I've heard the words "Definitely" on my travels ),

That's exactly what Gameseek wrote me a couple of days ago, and that's why of my question before:

Q: is there anything (about releasing date) the stores already know, that we don't?

SA release date has been confirmed as 8 September.

If it ends up being a 3 month wait I'll probably consider shipping it, think NZGameshops price was only a quid or two more than what I'd pay at Game.

i find it odd that they have a distributor for US/Can for the Xbox, but not one for PS3. Wouldn't you just use the same company?

Could well be cheaper to import a couple of copies in at the same time?

$114 NZD is ~£60. my bad tis $74.99 there which is £37.99 Game sells for £40, shipping from NZ to UK would add to this cost. But does that shop ship to the UK?

As for RLL it was released in NZ on August 27th, Aus on Sept 2nd then UK and France on November 5th.. over 2 months after Aus. Just hoping its a few weeks max

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I wouldn't be adverse to it coming out last week of september/first week of october....after student loans pay day

 

[TrueSlawter]

Haha, that'd be nice get student loan and go get a game (wont happen has to get food and pay for 3 months accommodation :/)

Yeah that is actually my back up plan if the shipping is loads haven;t actually looked into it yet though. Btw, what uni you at our of interest?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, I think I'm being a little optimistic with how much I'll have :lol:

 

[Thingimubob]

Right just found this: http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t752193-nzgameshop-com.html
