EtherealN Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Negative on my part. I have seen it advertised on GAME sweden's website frontpage, though.

ED Team JimMack Posted April 14, 2009 Author ED Team Posted April 14, 2009 Update: I talked to GAME management today. They apologised. Due to "logistics", DCS Black Shark was only sent to the top 55 stores. The other 377 stores will get stock later this week and they will confirm to me when it is actually in all the stores.

ED Team JimMack Posted April 14, 2009 Author ED Team Posted April 14, 2009 JimMack, can you say how many copies were distributed world wide or is that top secret stuff? Too early to say - the first ship out is still not complete worldwide, but let us say, it is not too different from LockOn, and no, I am not going to tell you what that was! However, LockOn is still an active title, 5 years after release! Having problems?

Boulund Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) I've seen a lot of swedish retailers that's put it in their catalogue, but most of them have it listed as "coming in", often within 4 days or so. I must say I'm impressed by the amazingly low price as well! (It's available from 299 SEK, this equates to about 27.5 EUR or 36.5 USD, which needless to say is a lot cheaper than I bought it for four months ago ;)) Speaking of Lock On I've found it lying around at the swedish site ginza.se for as low as 15 SEK (that's about 1.8 USD or 2.23 CAD or 1.4 EUR) Edited April 15, 2009 by Boulund Core i5-760 @ 3.6Ghz, 4GB DDR3, Geforce GTX470, Samsung SATA HDD, Dell UH2311H 1920x1080, Saitek X52 Pro., FreeTrack homemade cap w/ LifeCam VX-1000, Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1.

Due to "logistics", DCS Black Shark was only sent to the top 55 stores. The other 377 stores will get stock later this week and they will confirm to me when it is actually in all the stores. Here is an update for UK GAME stores. They have recalled Black Shark, and are going to relaunch in all stores, and get it back on their website (where it is "currently unavailable"). This exercise will probably take 2 weeks. I will post when GAME have confirmed to me that it is in all stores. Having problems?

Guest Tooler Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) I got mine in Game last week in Croydon town centre for £35. Why would they need to recall, why not just send copies to the shops that dont have any!?! Edited May 6, 2009 by Tooler
andysim Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 My store had LOMAC for £5, snapped that up. They also still have Falcon 4 AF for sale! No sighn of blackshark though
ESA_MistrL Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Actually. Some of us bought LOMAC and Flaming Cliffs not only once but several times, dowload version, boxed version, Gold version, etc, etc. But I have to say that it was worth every single euro I put on LOMAC because for every euro I received many many many hours flying. Thx for these lovely 5 years, and thx for next XXXX years flying DCS. Cruz de San Andres First learn to fly. Then learn to fight. [sIGPIC]www.cruzdesanandres.com[/sIGPIC]

Sulman Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 3 stores here in central Southampton, and none have it. I've bought it from DCS anyway, but was a bit miffed none of the retailers stocked it; I'm sure they'd sell if they were there. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Davemetalhead Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Got my copy from Game in Oxford last week - Thursday I think it was. Looked like it was the only copy they had, and I had to search for it as it was tucked behind a couple of other titles on the lowest shelf. Actually, thinking about it, I hope some poor chap didn't tuck it away to stop others from buying it while he went to get some cash ...
ED Team JimMack Posted June 8, 2009 Author ED Team Posted June 8, 2009 If anyone in the UK visits a GAME store this week, do let me know if they are stocking Black Shark.

-fox- Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I've seen the boxes in many German stores already, even in big super market chains.
ED Team JimMack Posted June 8, 2009 Author ED Team Posted June 8, 2009 I've seen the boxes in many German stores already, even in big super market chains. Thank you - distribution in Germany and France seems to be excellent. The problem appears to be the GAME retail stores in the UK. Having problems?
