    You will never see this game in the stores. It will be online only, and even then -- you can't buy it yet.

    It's only available for purchase thru their website, it won't be released in stores (at least for quite a while).  You can't buy it now, as they are only allowing small amounts of players in at a time, and currently there is no ETA on when the store will open up again.

    Hehe. Dont walk into eb and expect the people working there to actually know anything about games. I guy even told me that he hadnt heard of pre paid time cards. When in fact they where in the cabinet behind him. Most of these 'employees' look geeky enough to be hardcore gamers, but in fact their just mongs.

    I went for a job there once. I was declined. So I went back in the next day and asked the staff and the manager some very simple gaming questions like, what was the name of the last raid, the last bosses name and what he droped in wow before any expansions. They couldnt answer that. I asked what is the name of the charecter in metriod. Couldnt answer that. And I rambled a few more at them, and walked out in disgust.

     

    In short dont go in there thinking that they are gamers. They have no clue.

    The cost of printing and distributing the cost is sizable, even in Greece, let alone a world wide distribution.  Given the current shape of the product and the bank crisis worldwide, where on earth do you think Aventurine can come up with that kind of money.  They cannot even afford a second server.

    No wonder they didn't hire you... you may have a screw loose.

    And they're just cashiers, I don't care if they know about games. All I care is that they can ring me up and give me correct change.

    Still in paid-closed-beta.

    I'd not bother with this game if your from Australia untill atleast there is a US release, the game is too laggy for aussies(based on freinds who were in the beta). They certainly will never release an australian/oceania based server thats for sure, so we aussies will allways have a hard time PvPing with such high pings.

    heh EB having a decent game like this...thats a good one.

     

    seriously though this game is online sales only.  Pretty sure EvE is about to release their boxed version of the game and that game has been around for at least 3 years.

    MMO wish list:

    -Changeable worlds
    -Solid non level based game
    -Sharks with lasers attached to their heads

    Yes online only. However, EvE did sell boxes at one point ... i think

    EB Australia?

    You're kidding right?

    You can ask them about games they have on the shelf and they have "never heard of it..."

    Nothing says irony like spelling ideot wrong.

    Half of WoW's subscriber-base couldn't answer that question, but they really should know the answer to the Metroid question.

    Only if you're a nintendo fanboy.
