Hi guys,
As we have warned in the past, supplies of BF Evo are initially going to be quite limited. We have already asked the factory to increase production, but there is only so much we can do.
Response from European distributors has been astounding, and between them, they have already snapped up around 90% of the first run on pre-order. So, if you are in Europe, you should be well catered for (until, that is, the box sets disappear off your retailer's shelves!). You will also find most European countries will have native language translations in each box set...
The situation in the U.S. is going to be quite tight. We are encouraging all retailers to let their distributors know they are interested in stocking this game, because unless they pre-order, it is going to be a pot luck situation for everyone, which is not good.
At this time, the only way we can guarantee U.S. gamers getting hold of BF Evo in January is if they pre-order from our website before the end of November. We hate to say this, as we very much want to support retail stores, but our first thought has to be to the guys playing our games.
Based on this information, we are strongly urging U.S. customers to lock their pre-orders in with their trusted FLGS as soon as possible.
Customer wishing to place pre-orders for Battlefield EVO with our company may do so here.
We are committed to applying our standard pricing structure on these items, regardless of supply and/or demand. All pre-orders will be filled in the order in which they are received.
