Well Tuco, as Ball Buster pointed out i prefer a boxed version, and for the same reasons as him, it is tangible, it is mine.

Well I just ordered it from http://www.gpstore.co.nz/ who I've got Dark Messiah, H5 Collectors and the H5 Gold Edition off. It's going to cost me $90 but if you ask me it's $90 well spent.

I once paid $113 for Crusaders of Might and Magic so this is a steal. :cool:

Well a definite date for Europe is what i would like, kinda the purpose of this thread ;) As i don't like being kept in the dark.. not when from tomorrow on, those who live in America can get their hands on the game.. and who knows, someone might already have gotten their hands on it early.

@ Imperial Dane:

I live in Europe myself(Germany) and want the game ASAP. So I googled for the US-Import and found that the shipping cost charged by www.play-asia.com are very reasonable. I pay about 33,00 EUR including shipping (to Germany). Try it out for your country.

*Awaiting the game eagerly*

Well from the look of it 33 Euro's looks like the same price i will pay.. So i might consider it depending on when it is released in europe.. if it is the 31st of October as i heard from the store where i usually get my games.. then i'll just order it from there..

But thanks for pointing that out Homunculus :)

Oh man, just-shut-up.
Well, honestly I think "tangibility" it's a dumb reason... but it's about your money, so do as you like.

Each to their own, Tuco. I will get it from Gamersgate as it will cost me Aus $50 which is a lot cheaper than the $90 + it would cost for a boxed edition (with a fair bit of stuffing around to get it), and also because I know that I will be able to download and play the game very soon. But I can totally understand why people would want the boxed copy. If I had the money, I would too. :(

Another option would be to download the game and buy a hardcopy later when you can pick one up for 10 Euro or so.

I'd also prefer to know at least *when* the game would be released in EU, all this hush hush is rediculous since the game has been out for almost 6 months...

Myself i prefer to buy the boxed versions of games, i can install it whenever i want, don't need to save anything to hd and can install it on pcs without an internet connection (not that that will happen soon but you never know). Furthermore i believe in buying games when released for full price because then the developers get more cash for their work which entices and enables them to continue their activities as a softwaredeveloper.

I must say; i've never been so enthousiastic about HOMM tbh which is a good sign imo :)

From what I can gather of info. the release date in EU is end of Oct...which is very annoying, but lets hope its just my mistake and it will be out soon.
