Okay, I tried preordering from Amazon.co.uk to be shipped to the U.S., but they wouldn't ship to the U.S. ***I was hoping that I would get it sooner because of the earlier release date. ***Does anyone know of any websites in the U.K. that will ship to the U.S.?
Ebgames.com in the U.S. is listing the title released on November 15th, while Amazon.com in the U.S. is listing it released on November 8th.
I dont know a single EU netstore that ships to the US, probably you guys usually getting stuff before us europeans.
Methinks the only way to do this would be to have some european order it and send it to you or buying it off ebay.co.uk (or any net auction for that matter).

of course in order for that to work, you would first have to either own a european xbox or a U.S. xbox thats modded in order to play a game from europe.

As already posted by Marek elsewhere Operation Flashpoint: Elite is region free so any version will work on any Xbox http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif
Edit: Game.net (http://shop.game.net/viewProduct.aspx?mid=327366&cat=11155) Ł19.99 + Ł3.95 Postage to the USA (delivery time 4 to 6 business days) according to the site. According to Yahoo's Currency Calculator (http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert?amt=23.94&from=GBP&to=USD&submit=Convert) that'll be around $42 or €35 http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

@Placebo just a tiny error in that your link is for GAME and not play.com. I'm also wondering why the play.com price is 6 pounds more than GAME (including delivery). I think PLAY are getting more expensive these days. The savings arn't that great anymore.

You're right my bad, good spot http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif
Chances are that Play aren't necessarily more expensive than Game, rather than Game are more up to speed regarding prices, remember Codemasters played around with the RRP recently which may well have confused the less "on the ball" websites http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif
Cd-Wow (http://www.cd-wow.com/) are another good site in the sense they ship anywhere in the world for free, may mean that the game itself is slightly more expensive but factoring in the free shipping can work out quite nice, for some reason they're not listing Opf:Elite yet so I sent them off one of my nasty emails http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

Can EU version OFP:E be played on the television of NTSC?
