We forgot to tell you that we want to buy the Collectors Edition

Yeap, we want the metal box . No really, that's the only reason I'm not buying it from Steam. I can't play it these days anyway. Some of my pipes cracked, I flooded my neighbours, not funny... Lot of work to repair the damage (meaning loooots of waiting for the plumber). When I get it I want to fill up on Coca Cola, 20 packs of Dunhill Red and then wohooooo 70 hours without sleep . So yeah, I want the box.

Look, ok, were pirating here games like there's no tomorrow and we'd rather play WoW and CounterStrike instead of a good sim. But still, at the moment, this the only gaming dev team that bears our flag. Not even listing the game in stores is a poor show. Not sure if the stores were scared about unsold copies or Ubi decided to delay release here or scratched the Bentley of some politician...I don't really care. I just wanted to share this with the community as a sign of support to the devs. Not to complain that I didn't get to buy a copy BEFORE the official release date.

I see that many can't believe that the devs themselves haven't yet received a hard-copy. It's actually quite simple. The disks are not printed here! I think they're made in Canada. The global Ubi marketing decisions are also not made here. So, the devs finish the game, and send it for printing. The first batches come out, the Canadians and Americans get it first simply for being closest. Then the shipments start to cross the Atlantic and reach Amsterdam, then the UK, then the rest. 2 weeks later, the devs finally get the boxes and start using them for door-stops. Easy geography.
