Isn't it's Xbox.com's own fault if it's not listed? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/huh.gif
I had to mail Gamer.no to inform them about the release date.

I believe its up to the publisher. I see the PR machine is running as smooth as it was a few years ago.

This is something we've been chasing for some time, last I heard from Codemasters was that the submission "package" was sent on Friday so Operation Flashpoint: Elite should be listed before the end of the week, in theory http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Yep. It's almost like they want Battlefield to get all of the sales. I bought a copy of BF2:MC just so that I could tell people on XBL about OFP:E, 'cause Americans haven't heard of it or are completely misinformed.

Even self-promotion/distribution would be better than the press OFP has always gotten in the U.S.

Yes, life is so harsh. I can sit in front of free-to-air television all night dining on pizza I had delivered to my front door, but can you believe that I still have to wipe my own butt when I go to the toilet? Yep, we've got it bad, my friends.

I fail to see the relevance of your social commentary.  If I pay for the pizza with money I *EARNED* and generously tip the delivery person, it is my right to eat it, isn't it?

Codemasters' (U.S.A. branch?) years-long failure to adequately promote OFP in the U.S. has deprived a worthy title of deserved sales.

Explain to me what American laziness has to do with this, unless you're speaking of the laziness of those working at Codemasters U.S.A.

(Real mature sig, that.)

That is not following a moderator's instruction, in fact that is spamming, so a double rule break, please refrain, you've been such a good ambassador for our Xbox game, don't spoil it now http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

This bothers me a bit, gamer.no has announced that the release of OFP: Elite in Norway is the 11th of November like Germany. Is this right or what? http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/huh.gif


EDIT: Yeah I just confirmed it, the release in Norway is the 4th of November and Ubisoft is responsible for the release.
Errmm.. this also includes Denmark <s>(not sure if it&#39;s Sweden too)</s>

Confirmation (LINK) (http://www.ubisoft.dk/nordic_portal/releaseplan/releaseplan.asp)

EDIT: According to the Swedish website (Ubisoft) the swedes has to wait until the 11th of November, unless Ubisoft forgot to update it to the 4th of November. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/confused_o.gif

Hehe, yeah I think it&#39;s a case of skipping a line. Although I&#39;ll show my naivety by wondering why the link outlining all these releases is on a Ubi site?

And I apologise for my earlier outburst. I could explain what I meant but I fear it&#39;d just drag the thread off topic again and cause an argument.

Release date and release discussion should really continue in a new thread, so for in here I&#39;ll end the topic by saying that whilst the delays in Germany/Scandinavia are a surprise to us, all I can say is the delay doesn&#39;t stop anyone from buying the game online from places such as Play.com, gameplay.co.uk, Game.net etc etc

although people should be aware that (i know denmark for sure), that the prizes on play.com is 25% more expensive due to taxes.. I ordered from them before, and both time they were "caught" by the mean brown guys http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif
Havent had the same issue with game.net though

At least here the customs guys won&#39;t bother as long as the package is marked below a certain price which I cant recall (think it was above 40e though).

BTW, if you are ordering from play.com using pounds is a bit cheaper if your bank does not charge any conversion fees for credit card use (mine does not fortunately http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/nener.gif)

The PR on this game is more than poor. I&#39;m sorry but if I were BIS I would be seriously pissed off about codmasters work here.
