Phantasy Star Online, Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution has as it appears got a new, and this time official, PAL Release Date.
Information appeared short-time ago when Nintendo of Sweden added the date to their website (Spotted by Forum Member Balbarei), and it appears shopping websites have now also changed the date. That date being Friday 18th June 2004. However, you’ll apparently only be able to buy the game in one place in the U.K.…
If you go down to the shops on that day, you’ll be in for a big surprise, as they won’t have it… unless you’ve gone into a GAME retail store! GAME have an exclusive deal in which the video game, Phantasy Star Online, Episode III, will only be purchasable through them by consumers. The deal appeared not long ago on their website – www.game.uk.com - in which the words ‘Exclusive to GAME’ appeared. Since that time I have contacted them via. E-mail and they replied indeed confirming that Phantasy Star Online, Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution will be sold exclusively by GAME only!
No doubt people who have pre-ordered the game from other websites and stores are wondering…what does this mean for me?! Well I’m afraid I can’t help you, but most likely is you’ll lose your pre-order if this is indeed true, and have to pre-order through GAME, either by popping into your local GAME store, or by pre-ordering from the GAME Website using their ‘5 Star Pre-Order Service’.
You can Pre-order Phantasy Star Online, Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution, exclusively for the Nintendo Gamecube, set for release on Friday the 18th of June 2004, for £32.99 by visiting the GAME website by clicking this link, or by visiting their website directly at: www.game.uk.com. GAME Reward Card Holders will also get Double Reward points on this Pre-Order.
