Where to order FL as an european (French)

I was just wondering what was the best site for ordering FL from Europe... The demo got me strongly addicted and theres no way i can wait till April 23 when the game will be available March 4... EB Games and the other microsoft recommended site need europeans to do something with their bank, ask for a justification or whatever... Could someone explain it to me, and give me a good address?

And, will there be subtitles in the game? Cause i understand English, but sometimes its just damn too fast .

Unfortunately no subtitles - they say it was due to time constraints and budget (odd since the script has been made and voice acting/synching takes longer than synching text). I guess deaf people will just have to have a person around when playing...

Yah, its unfortunate that theres no subtitles but you can check out Trent's log after the cutscene to see what they talked about.

DVD Box Office ships internationally.

in regards to the european version: will the version sold in france be in french, i just moved there and thus speak and understand very little of the language... so do they change the language of the games as they change the language of movies? in any case pardon my ignorance in this matter, and in the worstcase scenario; the game being in french, (ignore)where would be the best place to order it from?(/ignore)

edit: damn me for not remebering what i read...

fjor,
If you get the game in french, it will help you learning the language faster. That's how I learned English and French.
You can ask arround the forums for translation or you can try ordering the game overseas.

fjodor, where are you from originally? It might help just to buy it in English from on of the British websites or American websites.

In France there's a movement to try and protect the integrity of the French language. That means they actually aren't allowed to publish games and movies in any language other than French. I could be extremely rude about this, but I won't, and I'll just say import from the UK (or just drive over here and buy it) if you want the English version. Sadly, it won't be out any quicker.

strategic-plus.co.uk are getting the US version in on 7th march for 40 quid, but you'll also have to enquire about sending it to France.

but better is www.dvdboxoffice.com (as already mentioned) which ship for free albeit slowly from canada.

Dumb question, will the american version (as in from DVDbox) run on a UK computer system?

Post Thu Feb 27, 2003 7:49 pm

>Barbazoul : I'm used to order games at http://www.cdromshop.com/home.html. They deliver games really quickly from Canada to France, and their price are fine. I ordred Neverwinter Nights and I hadn't any problem. Sadly, Amazon US don't ship in Europe.

> kalniel : you're wrong. You can sell english games in France. That's not a problem. The law only says that you have to join a document in french explaining how to install the software (and I'm sure of that, I'm a french lawyer) with the game and manual in english. Some games were sold in english here : for instance, Morrowind, Neverwinter Nights, Everquest... Most of the games are translated, not because the law, but because people prefer games using their mother tongue, especially if they aren't fluent in english.

> fjodor : as fas as I know, the version sold in France will be in french.
