Europe release date?

Hi I'm new and been eagerly awaiting Freelancer for what seems like forever. However I went to my local games retailer in Bern and asked about release date and he said 18th April. Well, I got up off the floor and went to check amazon.co.uk and sure enough 18th April. What gives? How come there is a 6 week delay for European release? Can anyone shed any light on this conundrum? I can accept a couple of weeks maybe, but over a month? That is just plain ludicrous.

[ignoreWhat about looking on the homepage of this site
In the top-right corner are the expected release dates: 11th of April for the UK, and the 18th for the rest of Europe.[/ignore

Awell guess we'll have to wait. But I'd rather release game worldwide all at once then let warez people get their filthy hands on it and release it a few weeks earlier.

Hmm, I can undertstand the delay to get the translations done, but last time i looked, the UK spoke the same language as the US (although some would disagree with that statement). So I see no other reason. And how come the Aussies get it a month b4 we do? Surely we're far more important than they are? (j/k, I love Aussies, but I couldn't eat a whole one). So, anyone know an US online retailer who delivers to Europe?

Snufs, why does the aussies get it before us. Snufs

They are like on the other side of tha clode man.
While we Europeans are just over the Atlantic We are a better market to. When the game is released in Europe everybody will have the Warez ver. To bad, and using money and time on a German and French ver is just Nationalistic nonsense. Let the god damn peoplez learn English. Sorry for the language, but why shall we Scandinavians and The Brits wait because of the French and Germans must have their own freakin versions. Snufs.

By the way I have a friend that have the Warez. Since I am a hard core fan I shall wait and buy the game. But by God the thought is tempting. I cant stand the wait any more. Hehe
Then a voice says: "Patience patience. It will arrive soon" "And relax u are better than the aussies" And JallyJalla smiles

Don´t complaint! Not only we Spanish are just corsairs in game (Isn´t corsairing an anglo-saxon Invention?) but also they are not delivering the game in Spanish. :-( It´s very disappointing!
