World Wide Purchasing & Distribution

[Screamadelica]

Spoke to Ubisoft Head Office today and they stated that they will not be supplying any Collectors or Boxed Sets for Australia! You can contact Ubisoft on 02 85871800. Sorry about the bad news, get your overseas orders in quick

WTF?? that's &*!! $#*!

that means $100 (on top of purchase price) at least, to ship it in... < grumble, grumble, stomp, grimace, FFS whinge, throw arms in air, more grumble >

[Ctrl E]

that sucks. let's make a fuss. don't they want to sell this bloody product or what?

Seriously, does Ubisoft ever make a good decision? This is pathetic.

Even trying to post on the ubi forum is a mess.I cant understand these guys.

Yeah and they reported an operating profit loss of $55.5mil for March 2010!

If they spent less money on crappy protection systems that, lets be honest, don't work, then they may actually turn over a profit, keep paying customer's happy and maybe be able to put more $$$ into better development of their in house titles and GIVE US AUSSIES THE FRIGGEN COLLECTOR EDITION!

But I know there's some department manager or CEO at UBI looking for ways to try and justify their job by concocting a smoke screen on paper that they can present to their stakeholder which says "hey we lost money but we're on track to make a profit "in the near furture" as we winning the in pirated software war."

Some people just can't admit they're wrong.

Well! Damn!

Given the choice I would have prefered to put my money through a local company, But I would rather have the boxed copy. It seems a bit short sighted by Ubi Australia.

Cheers and thanks for the heads up.

It is interesting to know that UBI's stupid DRM stance and console style marketing strategy has resulted in them loosing money - just as many people predicted.
