Biggest market comes first.

Exactly,thats what im thinking.

[Eudemon]

Forza was released in Europe first as as far as I know it did very well there, TDU I think did best in Europe also but remember Atari is now a US company mainly and tbh I don't get the whole Tuesday before Friday thing as Friday can also come before Tuesday. I'd love US to be the 21st and Europe/PAL to be the 17th ala ;) the Friday before.

But then we would be in the situation,only it would be americans complaning.I don't see how that would be any better.Also if they wanted to release the game on the same week worldwide they would have to release in it the Us first

[T0M722]

Basically all games should globally come out on a Friday imo.

 

:agreed: That would make this game complete.

Its strange, the game is made in France (EU), and why isn't this game early released here in the EU? Thats so weird. :confused:

[Streak115]

They probably feel that they have a larger market in the United States.

[Leadfoot[YT]]

The DVDs could be made in the US, as well as the download servers.

[BobbyV]

Maybe it's been answered before so forgive me if it's the case.

Since obviously the price for the US download version of the game is considerable lower than the same UK version (39,99$ vs 39.99 pounds), that is around 30% lower price in US :confused::oook: why shouldn't we all pre-order the US version then?

[Colster]

I'd guess the shipping (cost and/or time) would kill it, unless you mean a download version (eg DigitalRiver et al). In which case it's probably what I'll do unless they give us poor Europeans our damn Aston back as a bonus content package.

 

Anyone know yet if this will be on Steam?:)

[BobbyV]

I guess U got my answer to that question. It's not possible to preorder a US download version from Europe. All the boxes which have to be filled with info disappear and I couldn't proceed with order. Oh well...

Anyways since the game will be epic, I don't have any problem with a higher price. Preordered it from Atari/Metaboli.

I thought that TDU2 Casino thing was USA only, this site states it's also for EU gamers:

This casino should be available to everyone so i think you guys will get the same deal. Plus as far as the pre-order program goes in europe i strongly believe you guys will get some sort of american exclusive like the ZR1 black series or something similar but thats what i think .

No such thing as a ZR1 Black Series.

For the BeNeLux, without the Lux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg). Please note they haven't added prices yet and the button to put the game in your shopping cart should be below the boxart, but if you search the game on Gameorder.nl with the Search function, at the results, you can select Buy Now (Direct Kopen) and it gets added to your cart.

still no italy?

still no italy?

Diablo isn't hunting down all sites with TDU2 on them, so either find one yourself or wait until someone else does. ;)

[FizzPagan2000]

here's a pondering on the subject of eu's importance in the tdu2 scheme:

over at the official eu atari forums and the linked namco bandai partners forums tdu2 looks unlikely to even get a section dedicated to it.

 

check it out for yourselves:

Yeah so? If you haven't noticed those forums aren't exactly lively with anything anyway.
