    Where Will SoA for Xbox 360 Be Sold?

    Will Seeker's of Adoulin copies for Xbox 360 be sold in stores or only in the SE store? I asked at my local Gamestop and they said they have never even heard of the game. Likewise there is no information whatsoever on the websites of Futureshop and Best Buy.

    There's less than a month left and there seems to be no information whatsoever. I would love to know whether or not I will have to dish out the delivery fee for ordering it online.

    Basically thats what it sounds like. So far as I have heard from people looking around, and seen for myself, it will be available for online distribution only, and will not be sold in stores. If you want it you will have to buy it online so far as I know right now.

    Sounds awesome. So basically 360 players will have to dish out 10 dollars for delivery and have to wait a week after all the PC players get it, because I highly doubt they'd send them out before the release date.

    After checking SE's order website, apparently for the normal edition it'd cost 41$ CND with slow delivery. If you want fast delivery it'd cost 75$. I hope to Chuck Norris they release it in stores.

    Looks like SE store or Amazon.com only. No Gamestop or Bestbuy from the looks of it.

    On Amazon its around 7 dollars for shipping that gets it to you the day of release, the rest of the price is normal, so for the Ultimate Collection it would be 47 dollars.

    In spite of only hating Europeans a little, maybe a moderate amount at most, somebody at SE apparently hates Canadians a lot. After following some maple syrupy moose tracks to Amazon.ca I can see no signs of Seekers of Adoulin available for pre-order there.

    Do you see a "Canada" option anywhere on this page?

    It does kinda suprise me that a preorder isnt even being offered in all forms of marketing a month from the purchase date, and that no advertisments on any cable shows are even being considered. Imagine what one ad on the Cartoon Network's - Adult Swim - would do. WoW was successful not because of the quality of the game, but by the marketing campgain they ran for years on thier game worldwide. They really do need to advertise in mainstream media and offer it faster in English speaking countries. I'm guessing this is where the problems they have with translations really shine through.

    As far as Bestbuy preorders, I doubt it will happen, the last time I was at Bestbuy all they had in thier video game section was game cards for Steam, Wow and Sims.

    What, amazon canada doesn't have supersaver shipping? I was pretty sure amazon was going to be selling it.

    I checked amazon Canada's website. Not one hit for SoA expansion. Basically if I want the super fast shipping for Amazing Global Priority Shipping so I would get it day of release, it would cost me 58$ from Amazon US.

    Double the price of the actual game as I'm talking about expansion only and not the collectors set. Suppose it's better than SE store's 75$ but it's still a huge waste of cash. That's basically the price of a new console game. Of course if I choose normal shipping it would only cost 42$, with the added benefit of taking 8 to 16 days for delivery(April 5th-17th)...
