What are you talkin about? You have to line up the green dots and click the fire button, not to sound like an ass, but, c'mon, it takes an average of 2 of them to figure that out!

Well, I've spoken to Virgin, Game, even Tesco's, and nobody has a clue when it's coming out. If they've got a date at all it's still the 5th, but they've recieved no stock as far as can be seen.
Still, with the CTD problems we're experiencing just now and the prospect of yet another massive download, I'm beginning to wonder if it's worththe hassle.

Do yourselves a favour my fellow Englishman (and you scummy Scots)! Cancel and run for the hills! Hide in a cave until a MMO suitable of your vast intelligence and intellect comes along, leave SWG:JTLS to the Pwnz0R K1DD13s who now PwN this game anyway!

I did the DLgamer.com key thing too.
Got the CD key by email within the hour (only in working hours otherwise it's next morning), thenwent to 'register expansion' in Launchpad, waited 3hrs (512kb ADSL) while the game files downloaded as an update. Works fine, even got the Sorosub vet reward.
Not really an option if you have dialup, but better than waiting another week for UK stock to arrive, eventually.
For those of you who suggest pre-order I tried, but none of the recommended sites in the US ship to the UK. I got a 'geographical restrictions' message from Amazon, so there must be some deal with a local importer to prevent it.
I don't see why we weren't offered the chance to buy direct from SOE and download it in the first place. If they were worried about server overload they could always limit the number of CD keys they sendmail each day - on first come, first servered basis from when you pre-ordered.

Nope, I got mine from Gamestop.com in the US, it arrived on the 29th Oct. I'm from ENGLAND also and had no problems improrting it and had no import duty to pay either. It's just a shame JTL is bugged for me, I could be enjoying playing instead of /buging the game every time I try it out.

At the end of the Day, england got a bad deal, u read the press and the new EU want to break away from the US, yet the UK will stand by the US's side.
The EU countries got JTL b4 we did, even manuals in their native tongues, yet we get delay after delay (friend at Game now says 19th). There are many sites like DLGamer were u can get the key (i did as well as most of me clan). Some ppl pre-ordered from the US, but u get his with import tax so the price goes up, but that is your choice.
So yes we as a country get screwed over, may be its activision, yet they blame SOE, we will never know.
JTL is a great add-on and I hope the UK version comes out soon in the UK so we can all enjoy the fun.
Long live the Empire.

Apart from the traitorous tone of your post. It just further fuels my frustration with the Forum admins on here. I post reasoned criticisms of SOE and Activision, and I get threads deleted and even a seven day ban for trolling. You post crap like this which is clearly trolling and it's not even deleted.
