FAQ for Germans who like to buy that game!
Hi all,
This is for all Germans who like to buy Dominions 2.
http://www.ixsoft.de/
You get it form this Linux shop, but it works also under Windows.
You should also copy your passport because the game is official not avalible in Germany so you are only able to buy it when you are 18+ years old.
I ordered it from there after bothering all gameshops in my region(including the bis shops like saturn and Mediamarkt)
So Germans, stay tuned and buy that game:-)
Cya

Re: FAQ for Germans who like to buy that game!
Hmm, I think it's a lot cheaper ordering directly from Shrapnel - which I did. It costs about 50$ including standard shipping to do so, and ixsoft asks for 49?... given the current exchange rate, I know what I'd pick (and since I am currently getting paid in US-$: could you americans please do something about that?  Thank you...).
Still, the freebies you get at ixsoft might nearly make it worth, though...

Add 15% whatever-tax, and think again

My game was ordered from the Shrapnel site, and while I didn't pay for it (it was a birthday present - the best in quite some time), I don't think my girlfriend paid taxes on it. Certainly no custom taxes when it arrived in France. |

Well, I think it mainly depends on how lucky you are, either customs is looking at your package - then you will have to pay the VAT - or if you get lucky, they don't and you get it without having to pay any tax

Re: FAQ for Germans who like to buy that game!
Umh, has anyone tried tuxgames.com? They sell it for 45$, shipping to germany (or elsewhere in europe) adds ~5$. Given the current exchange rate at PayPal (they accept credit card, paypal, etc) that'll be <40EUR, which is certainly better than the ixsoft offer...
Now I've never ordered oversea so far. What about tax? What about the proof that I'm an adult? I'm a bit scared to try this out. Any experiences?
