SEIV Gold
 
Hi

Where can I buy SEIV Gold from? I live in New Zealand and it is not available in the shops. I have looked at a few websites in the US (including Sharpnel's site) and the UK but they all charge an enourmous amount for postage to New Zeland ie about $50 or more equivalent new Zeland dollars. The thing is, I don't mind if it is sent by sea mail and takes a couple of months to get here and long as the postage is cheap! Does anyone know a site where I can get SEIV Gold and also has a cheaper mail option - all the others seem to only have express courier services for overseas mail and that is expensive.

any help would be really appreciated - I am dying to get my hands on SEIV gold, I can safely say that SEIV is the best game i have ever owned

Find a friend, relative, or business or military connection who is traveling overseas carry it back in their luggage.

Yea - already tried that but don't know anyone in the US or anyone likely to pass through in the near future. Just thought someone out there might know, otherwise I 'll try and pick one up next time I am in Asia

Hmm, might as well try asking Shrapnel if you can pay and get DL of the disk.

I always wondered why don't give us that alternative myself. It would seem the answer to a lot of eager and honest customers, and not just overseas ones who might otherwise suffer outrageous mailing costs and delays to get their product.

However, I suppose they have some logical reason why that idea's a bad one.

Actually the idea of a DL from Shrapnel not a bad one. Might fire them an email and see what happens!

And if you've got a cd burner then you have practically the same game as anyone who got via USPS in america plus the cost of burnign

The download of SE:IV Gold is just too big, that's why we don't offer it that way.

Could U offer a lite Ver. w/out the Mod. People should download the newest ver of them anyways.

I contacted Shrapnel games and got a very prompt reply - very good service. Basically couldn't help of the shipping side of things but gave me a couple of wedsites in Europe that might be cheaper. They said they didn't have a distributor in New Zealand but would like one but I don't think anyone is going to make their fortune selling games in New Zealand - the population is tiny (if you don't count the sheep).

Even without the mods it is too big.
