Anyone in Europe/UK get a copy from a store yet?

Archive: 85 posts


Hey, just wondering if anyone from Europe/UK has gotten a copy from a store yet.

Or have the stores not received their shipments of LBP yet?

Cheers

I haven't, but a very educated guess says that they'll have them soon.

I'm guessing that Play.com will get their shipments very soon too.. I hope to have a dispatch email by Wednesday.

There is a private store, and the owner sells imports from the US. He also has LBP-Copys over, but he wants 80? (that's around 100$) for a copy.. and well, I write 3 important test between the 3th and 7th November.. so I think it's better if I don't spend too much time for LBP then. And also, I think I will party hard on the Friday, when the testsa re finished I have my LBP 2008-10-27 21:37:00

Thanks dude but I heard that story a few times before the original launch about Toys'R'Us and he didn't state that it was now or one of the stores that were selling it early.
Anyhow I have to get up for work at 4am to go up north for 2 days which is in less than 7hours from now, so i should be starting to think about trying to get some sleep lol

I do believe will be here Friday the 31th, or before that. Some stores over here claim that. Sony said it themselves, that they made copies faster than expected. Therefore the game was released 3 days earlier, so lets hope they do the same in Europe. The week of the 3rd, so 3 minus 3 will be October 31.2008-10-27 22:24:00

We aren't able to get the first week stuff yet ( We as in United States people )

Won't be available till Thursday I believe...

But what I'm trying to get at is that every region will have 1 week after day of launch, so don't think your one week has started, catch my drift?

Sent an email to Gamestop here in Portugal yesterday and they said they recieved an email from Sony telling the release date is the 4th, and even showed me it. (It was basicaly a copy-paste from the news thingie in the official LBP site tho) Hope they give me it earlier. (Pre-ordered aswell

Yep it's (you can read it under my avatar) I live in Emmeloord. But no i don't know if we will be able to get the space suit and the T-shirt, srry.
But I think they will do it 'cause it would be unfair.

You sure this was the EU version of the game, or are you talking bout the US version? Anyway, which store are you talking about?

I received a few brochures today. One was from a store called Dixons, which have a full page about LBP, including price and information. Thought there is nothing about a release date, so that makes you think they are selling the game right now. Yesterday(before I got the brochure) I called them and they said they'd be expecting the game Saturday.

Another brochure, from a store called Bart Smit. Was giving out money-off coupons for the LBP + PS3 Console bundle. The confusing part here, is that the coupon is valid from the 29th of October till he 2nd of November. Strange isn't it? Since the game should start shipping in the week of the 3rd.

Probally in both cases, the stores forgot to edit the brochures after the delay.

Btw. Sorry for the double post, but this was like a whole new message, and if I didn't double post, the thread would be on the second page almost.

What the heck is up with you? About a week ago you were posting in over 9,000 threads saying you've "given up on Sony" and you're not bothering with the game any more and now you're making threads explaining detailed theories as to why you're going to get it early. o__o

It'll come when it comes is all I have to say. However I do hope you're right as I am a fellow pre-orderer of Play.com. ^_^

Just wen't to some shops. All said they expected it next week, while one said it might be coming tomorrow. The shop that told so, usually sells game early. It's in Holland, called futurezone. Don't think much of you people can get there XD. Anyway, I hope the game will be here this weekend.2008-10-30 15:32:00

After being away since Sunday i got home to find an email from Amazon UK saying the games been delayed AGAIN and it will be released sometime between 12 - 19th November!!!!!

Is this true or should i Pre-order elsewhere???? I want Littlebigplanet in my hands A.S.A.P!

I will order from USA as long as i know the DLC works with a UK PSN.

Dunno mate. I think there arn't that much copies being send to retailers within the first weeks, mainly because they needed to reburn all original copies.

Next to that, amazon isn't a gameshop of itself, I think they kind of have a green light here when it comes to shipments and preorders.

The problem is that you need different credit cards which will work on US Store. I believe not all DLC will be free for LBP. I had the chance to purchase a LBP US copy even before the US released the game. One of the early copies it was, didn't do it at the end because I doubted about the DLC.2008-10-30 16:26:00

It is easy enough to buy PSN cards for the US store from EBay or I get mates in the states to buy them for me and then email me the code, that way you can add to your account without having to use a credit card.

The Us PSN store will only accept US credit cards they used to accept Entropay cards which is a virtual credit card but they will no longer accept them for new US accounts so just use a PSN card.

Amsterdam is the ****, like all of Holland. I love the smoke weed. Don't undstand why it's illegal in other countries.

I recommend you don't order it from the internet. Specially not an imported version. Wanna know why?

- It will take probally more than a week for them to ship them. Then again you never know how many they have in stock, so it could be later also.

- If you just go look around the stores in your neighbour, I'm pretty sure you would be able to obtain a copy on the 5th of November, maybe even earlier.

So by doing that, you will have the game alot faster.

Wrong. It'll only work if you have a HD TV. If you're using an SD TV then you're out of luck as US and European SD signals are different. I had to find this out the hard way.

At this stage, they probably have tons of pre-orders. I'd say it's risky. You're better off just buying it from Woolies or something. I don't think it'll be a day one insta-sellout.



I'm guessing that Play.com will get their shipments very soon too.. I hope to have a dispatch email by Wednesday.

So much for that. Thursday and no word. I don't think we'll be getting it early to be honest. I just hope we get it on the Wednesday at least.

Hum... I ordered skate from the US and I played it on loads of European SD (sometimes even worst *Looks at curent PC monitor serving as television*) and there were no problems. My cousin also ordered it from the same place and it works on his Full HD TV... Strange

It's only very old SD TVs which don't do NTSC, so actually Chaz is wrong.

Leverbaar vanaf 3-11-2008
Means, availabe from 3-11-2008.

Same here in this shop: http://gameorder.nl/little-planet-standard-edition-p-4359.html?osCsid=9e0782a5e5b52b0bcd9be1678f92032e

Officieele release datum: maandag 03 november, 2008

It's only very old SD TVs which don't do NTSC, so actually Chaz is wrong.

So today I wen't to the stores again.

Free recordshop - Didn't knew anything about the game. XD
Media Market - Had the game in stock, wouldn't sell it until Monday.
Dixons - Will get shipment Monday and sell it right away.
Intertoys - Had the LBP + PS3 Bundle, selling it. Didn't had the game itself, expecting to get a shipment Monday and will sell it then.
Futurezone - Will be selling Monday
Bart Smit - Will be selling Thursday (BAH)

At the LittleBigPlanet 'space' in Covent Garden yesterday, the chap told me that the game would be out on the 3rd. I'll check as many stores as I can on Monday, but I won't be surprised if it's not on the shelves.2008-11-01 13:26:00

Same here, we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that the shipment arrives early!
