A good site to order CivIII online?

Earthling7 · September 24, 2001, 03:28

Any ideas? I live in Europe and I refuse to wait until 2036, or whenever they decide to release it here. It'll probably be translated into some GRAWTOINS language anyway.

I want the LE version, and soon.

What sites are trustworthy and reliable and stuff?

if you want order civ3 and help Apolyton at the same time

you have one option(since you're in Europe and want the LE):

Chips&Bits

While we have referred many sales to C&B i only have feedback from Yin on their service. He ordered several games in Korea(!) and dont think he had any problems

Amazon US doesnt ship games to Europe(only books).
Amazon UK doesnt have the LE listed right now, so you could wait and order later when there is more info.

Oops, I just noticed that Greece is not in the list,... Sorry ...

actually, computer games are under "video games", not "software"

Toys, Games, and Video Games

Toys, games, and video games can be shipped only to locations within the U.S. and U.S. protectorates.

thanks for the LE link though!

So, there's a problem,... Because it's written just between "Rate this Item" and "Write the first review" that :

Shipping: This item ships internationally

well, i tried to order it and got this

*** We're sorry. This item cannot be shipped to your selected destination.

but when i put "UK" as my address, it accepted....

so i guess amazon gives a different meaning to the word "internationally" and that computer games are categorized as "video games" and treated as "software"....
