Game Distribution & Pre-Ordering

I want to pre-order the game, both for PS2 and PC. However, what is the easiest way? Living in Victoria, will it be shipped down here? I know the people in the local Harvey Norman and they will order any game I want, plus give me a discount, but I'm more concerned with speed. How long will it take?

Also, I've seen pre-orders are available at gpstore.com.au . Are they reliable etc?

Finally, Mario, why didn't you make it for GCN?

I can vouch for GPStore in NZ - they do a lot of shipped orders, and get stuff to people pretty promptly, usually on the day of release. I assume the Australian operation is just as efficient.

We didn't make it for the GC because the install base is limited on top of the market for Rugby League being smaller than most games shipped worldwide. The numbers didn't stack up.

Depending on demand, we may produce a sequel for it though.

That'd be great, because IMO GCN offers the best games. The graphics leave the PS2 for dead, and the controllers are a million times better. If you believe the stereotypes of the tryhards who think the PS2 is best, you get access to the youth market which would be lucrative no doubt because of soft parents.

Xbox is Microsoft, has few quality games and is too bulky.

To bulky what is your room like 2m by 2m lol! to bulky :roll:
The reason why it's larger than the GC and PS2 is because it's chock full of more advanced hardware plus a 8 gig hard drive... its da bomb

Mullins from the xbox world forum?

I've got all 3 systems and I must say Xbox is the bomb. Also can we rip music for this game?

I love my gamecube but xbox is by far the best. If PS2 didn't have GTA or Smackdown I'd be struggling with it.

You are the typical ignorant tryhard dickhead who has no idea and thinks anything made by Nintendo is solely for 8yr olds. Fact is any game Nintendo brings out is 574397598 times more challenging and interesting than the same boring XBox shyte. Quality not quantity! Plus its a cheaper unit.

Back to the topic...

Will this be distributed to non league areas such as South Australia?? If I miss this cause of the AFL dominance here, I will paint the local EB with clerks blood

It better bloody well be.

If you want it and can't pick it up off the shelf, go to your local Harvey Norman. They will order you any game if they don't have it.
