Why is Galaxies taking so long to be released in the UK?

Galaxies is out in the US, right? Yet, at last check on Amazon's UK site, it won't be out in the UK until December. Why is there such a large gap between the release dates? It's infuriating!!!

Because they're trying to remove all the bugs and optimise the content of the game before they release it to the more discerning UK customers.

:p:D

Strange. I've seen quite a few non-American players. I dunno.

Don't games and stuff generally take longer to get out in the UK than the US? I remember hearing stuff like this about Rebellion/Supremecy.

Germany and the UK aren't the same place last time I checked

They are both EU countries. Ordering the game in another country shouldn't
be that hard.

Edit found a UK Shop

Try www.play.com they have import versions.

Although why you'd want to pay monthly to play a computer game beats me ...
