I've called all around here in SoCal and no one has even heard of it.

GameStop

BestBuy

Target

WalMart

I have not looked as yet. I suspect we would not see a hard copy in the states for at least 3 weeks. The will be shipped by ocean if I were to guess.

Isn't that the way it always works ?

Flight Sims shipped by Water.

Sub Sims shipped by Air.

You are correct. Jason came out with the announcement a few days ago, and I just found out yesterday what happened. Apparently, the factory workers in Russia ****ed up the international edition's disc, so it won't install properly. Now they're having to backtrack on hundreds of copies and look them all over again to make sure they're not problematic.

The whole situation is confusing right now, but they've got the production issues sorted out. Still, Amazon is reporting that it won't be released until June 29th while GoGamer and FS Pilot are saying the 25th. I'm not sure what's going on there. Maybe Amazon didn't reserve copies before GoGamer and FS Pilot did.

The good news, though, is that it will more than likely end up on the market via digital distribution at some point in the future. There's been talk of it in the past, particularly with Steam.

As far as actual stores that will be selling it, I've heard conflicting reports. CompuExpert, BestBuy, and Circuit City were on the list, but I don't know now.

IGN didn't even have any E3 videos on it, so I'm not surprised they'd say that. They're only interested in the big and powerful game companies' products.

Sellouts. You should have seen their bogus review on Empire Total War. I don't even bother with them anymore, save for finding videos and screenshots.

Hi SH and all the usual Suspects.

I just checked at BestBuy and didn't find anything.

Can you post somemore new pics ? PLEASE.

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 06-18-09, 12:07 PM

It sucks that the release date got pushed back again, but what are the details of the international edition. Are there any new planes, missions, what?

Same here in Colorado. All Circuit City's closed down, so they won't be selling anything unless they sell online only.

GoGamer's owner is a frequent poster on SimHQ, and his 777 Studios is the North American publisher for RoF. So it's probably a lot faster than waiting for it to hit retail.

The international edition is basically the same as the North American edition in terms of features. You still get a map and poster, the manual, the disc (of course); the only thing that's really different is the languages you can play in.

FIREWALL · 06-18-09, 01:20 PM

Thx for the fix SH

I needed that.

Is it possible to post a Red Dr1 ?

I want it for my desktop and one to frame.

btw I bet your LYAO looking at my first posts about concerns and purchase of ROF .

Biggles · 06-18-09, 01:24 PM

Wow, cool planes right there. Are those skins customized? Do you meet planes in all different colours ingame or do you get all in a default skin?
