Hi all,

I'm trying to get a better idea of how game buying patterns differ on either side of the Atlantic. Here in the UK, people prefer to buy online it seems. But what about the US? Do American shoppers prefer their stores to their 'pooters? Where did you buy your copy of Rhiannon?
Amazon, Interact, Target, BestBuy, Circuit City? Others? Outside the US?

Thanks everybody - and happy Christmas.

I bought mine at EB. I have not seen it anywhere else. This includes walmart, bestbuy or any other store.

Noel, I would love it if they had adventure games in the shops. I live in busy London and have to buy from the net. Interact are amazing & Play.com have started to do the odd adventure too.

Hi Noel smile

Little ol' me from denmark bought my game from InteractCD.

Not many retail stores here hold adventure games and only a few danish online shops can compete with the prices from abroad - even with shipping smile

I bought my game at Interact. I buy all my games online, as it is diffiuclt for me to go out to shop. Just finished the game, and loved every minute of it. Since I don't have another game to play until Santa brings me "Art of Murder", I will start playing it again it was that good!!

Noel, I'd love to buy in the stores but I most often buy online because I seldom can find the games in the stores. :wave12:

I buy all my games online mostly because I pre-order them the minute I see them. That way I know I get the game mailed to me as soon as it's released. I bought Rhiannon from Amazon.com. Great game! smile

Hi Noel,

I bought mine brand new in the shrinkwrap from a large computer-game seller on eBay. wave

Hello Noel
I bought mine on line at amazon. This was the best game I have ever played incidentally. I do hope your studio is going to make some more.
And, this is very cheeky, I live in Carmarthenshire and would love to visit your studio sometime. Do you think this would be possible. I'd be absolutely fascinated to see some of how games are created.
A very Happy Christmas
Meryl

I like to buy on-line from Amazon and The Adventure Company especially when there are free shipping offers to take advantage of.

Hi Meryl,

Visit the studio? It's just a slightly untidy room on one side of our house with several computers and a big ideas planning whiteboard which, if you were to see it, I would have to kill you before you left smile

However, although Carmarthen is famous for the Merlin connection, its more important renown is for having the biggest Tesco in the UK smile What if Karen and I were to look you up next time we're over there shopping?

Cheers

Noel

Dear Greyfuss

New game? What new game? We haven't announced that we've started production of a new game, have we?

No, we can't have done, because it's not yet Wednesday December 17. wink
