Retail availability in UK?
 

I've just finished building my new machine and have reinstalled Silent Hunter 4 after a long, long break (about 18 months I think,) and since it looks like most of the mods I'm interested in seem to be going down the 1.5 road I'm keen to add the expansion to my game, except it no longer appears to be available.

Are there any of the larger chains in the UK still stocking this? obviously being in Britain, the D2D download option is a no no and the only link for it on Ubi is for a French version. I'd rather have a hard copy anyway, to be honest but the only one I've seen was for over 30 quid on eBay, which seemed a mite excessive.

Are there plans to release the gold edition here in Blighty or will I just have to keep scouring eBay until something turns up at a reasonable price?

Here's the UBM 1.5 pack, but it's kind of expensive. Couldn't find Gold though.

If you do decide to order it from Amazon, be sure to go through the Subsim Store link - Neal gets a kickback from them.:sunny:

although showing as out of stock- www.game.co.uk is showing the add-on at the original £9.99, so i'd guess trying your local high street GAME store.

Thanks guys - for some reason I totally forgot to check out Amazon. £20 through Amazon Market place is not so bad. I'll get it ordered as soon as pay off this months credit card bill...:wah:

One last question. Aside from the newer mods which all seem to use it, is the pack actually worth it? Does it add anything new to the US side of things or to the underlying engine?
