I remember when SH4 was released in australia i went to a lot of shops in brisbane and eventually tracked down a copy . Unfortunately the teenages will never buy it because its xbox city here . Obviously the more sales of SH5 the more chance of SH6 . What we need is a top product from the start .

Same thing here in the States. I have to go to Best Buy or Wal-Mart to find the PC games anymore. All the "video game" stores carry a wide variety of console games with maybe a single section of a single shelf devoted to PC games. :down:

So what they need is an exceptional bug free game outa the box with good media and it will sell itself .

Ah... fond memories of when I bought SH4... A niche retailer here was still in the buisness of selling PC games, tucked away on a discreete shelf. Hidden behind the plethora of consoles games and their broad array of hardware gizmoes.

I felt as if a perv ducking through the beaded curtin to oogle the tawdry offerings. Segragated somehow from the mainstream.

Uhhhh... anyhow long live PC games ! :salute:

i got it at a small gamestop in the mall here. i havent bought at best buy in a while but i know they have as much shelf space for pc games as they do for each console.

yep Best buy would probably be your best choice.. Gamestop would probably not carry a game like sh5...:yep:

(just check best buys site when the time comes.)

When I asked the store clerk " do you have any PC games ? "

He said " Ya we got some " 3 ailes down on the left.

I walked down and turned left and about passed out. :o

WOW I was in heaven. :yeah:

I bought both Silent Hunter II and III from Electronics Boutique in Perth's Hay St Mall and found SH IV dirt cheap at Harvey Norman in Osborne Park.

Not an issue here - I can't even remember the last time I walked into a computer game shop.

I buy exclusively from gameswarehouse.com.au.

The Aussies are getting PT-Boats first, probably next week! As yet there is no EU/US release date scheduled (apart from Germany).

Thankfully GAME stores are a national chain in the high st and generally offer a good selection. There's always Amazon.co.uk
