now thats good news, but if you could change it to definatly and tomorrow and we'll be very happy but thats not going to happen but thanks again gstaff the best community manager out there :hugs:

I can say definitely. I can't say tomorrow.

There are I's to dot, and T's to cross across all the European territories that are planning to sell it. And I can assure you, I'm keeping on folks about it.

I hope that's good enough to be the #2 best community manager. But only if Nick is #1.

"All the European territories that are planning to sell it", please tell me that that includes the UK, and we're not European.

What territories arn't selling it?

As a continent, the UK is in Europe... so I'm counting it.

When I have all the details to share, I'll let you guys know.

Good News Gstaff, You're still #1 really



Not so great at geography huh?

We are independent from Europe and the Euro.

Aye, but the British Isles are still part of the European Continent even though we are not part of the European Monetary Community although we are part of the European Union as Calgone correctly mentioned below, as there is a difference between the two.

Edit: to clear up a snafu on my part.

We are part of the European Union, and part of the European continent. Thus we are both Politically and Geographically part of Europe. We just dont share the same currency. So what?

sound good news as I have had no info since I emailed them.

Cant wait as I will be pre-ordering the collectors edition ASAP in UK :foodndrink:

Fallout 3 was awsome altho: (LOL :rofl: )
Hacking PCS in fallout 3 made me want to :brokencomputer:
Vault 93 was a death trap lol :violin:
but loved :nuke:




:gun: :nuke:

What was wrong with hacking pcs?

Is the CE coming to japan?

yeah but when it comes to Game and Film regionalisation we are considered part of Europe

still no news im getting worried :banghead:

Europeans are quite lucky actually, because they will get the CE eventually, maybe later than the American customers, but they'll get it. And I am not sure that CE will ever be available in Russia. So heavily overpriced copies from eBay will be the only option for us.

As are all other nation in Europe but they are still a part of the European continent. Much like Canadians and US'ers are North Americans. I think a bit of Russia is also European if only politically.

Well thats all right then, while we're bring vague is the CE coming to asia? (asia being every country from japan to the middle east on the asian continent), Is South America getting it? Will turkey get it? they're nearly in the european union...

Continents are a bit vague... i find.

Have been looking for more sites to add to the list I check, even found few more places that sell the CE
www.game.es
www.game.no
www.gamestop.es
www.gamestop.it

I am a bit limited by not knowing retailers that are established in most countries (let alone reading what on them). I have not been able to find any site from the Baltic, and no Russian sites that sell FO:NW (www.gamestop.ru only appear to have FO3)
Finding Asian sites are way above my abilities.

But you can try www.(game/GameStop).(your country top level domain here)they are the retailers I have had the most success checking so far.
And if you do find it somewhere, feel free to post it here. We might as well help one another finding out where to buy it.

I have 3 questions.
1. Collectors edition... Is it worth it? I mean, there are a lot of other games with pre-orders coming out.
2. Why is it still not in europe? 3. Is there also a pre-order with in-game content coming for europe just like America (because I like in-game content better)
I hope that I posted this in the right section.

1. IMO, yes.
2. Europe has about 50 nations with about a trilijon different retailers. Some sell some don't. Yet. Gstaff is pressing for an official release this month. Didn't say when though
3. Yes. Both the pre-order and the CE are identical world wide. The pre-order stuff depends on the retailer though

The Ural mountains and Black Sea are generally the geographical and geological border between Europe and Asia. While most of Russia's territory may be east of the Urals (and therefore part of Asia) most of Russia's major population centers are west of the Urals.

For quite some time Russia has been somewhat apart from either continent but these historic, social, and political issues are certainly beyond the scope of this thread. When it comes to game publishing Russia isn't part of "Europe" because it's economic infrastructure is largely separate from the "European" economic infrastructure. In this case "European" refers to the EU and well as those nations closely tied to EU neighbors. So while Norway isn't part of the EU it's fairly easy to release a game in Norway if you're also releasing it in Denmark and Sweden.

Since Russia is so large, and since its economy is fairly distinct from the EU, it makes sense that it would require its own publisher (1C I'd assume).

It's also worth noting that even within the EU publishing a game is hardly simple. From my understanding several of the foreign language versions have their own publishers - or perhaps they are co-publishers along with Bethesda.


I've heard elsewhere that New Vegas isn't the only game that's encountered this situation in Europe. I'm not sure if it is the complexity of releasing multiple localized versions or something to do with EU bureaucracy though.

Thanks for the info Gstaff a soon as its available my pre order will be placed i just hope we can get it before the game is actually released!

the regular version pre orders are available in almost all the online shops, and it is complicated further by the fact that many places have the CE for 360 and PS3 but not for PC.

And yes I know of at least one other game where the CE is not listed on sites like Amazon here in Europe, but where it is listed from where I ordered my CE of FO:NV.

!!! It all makes sense now. EU LOOOVES red tape and if you miss a stamp here or a form there you'll have to redo the whole thing. That process can take from several months to a year or more.

so far amazon.fr is selling it so good to them but uk still needs it & I want to order it so bad... love fallout, hates waiting tho

Been lurking here a while, just a heads up:

Game.co.uk Now have the collectors edition up for pre order

finally :fallout:
