Will US version of Bad Company 2 work in Europe?

CD WOW are selling the standard (UK) edition for £27.99 http://www.cdwow.com/games/battlefie...945517#bc=9f18

And they are selling the Limited edition - but the US version, for £28.99 http://www.cdwow.com/games/battlefie...675019#bc=9f18

I guess the US version will work in Europe?

Why dont you just buy it from the UK and solve any problem, and save yourself some money?

Uhhh.....what?

I'm in Austria (Central Europe), I want it in English, and I have the choice of the limited edition (which in this case is from the US) for £1 more than the normal version (which in this case is from the UK).

Get it from GAME. They have the Limited edition for the same price as the normal and it is or the UK so it is in English.

Or get it from Steam?

And.........you can get it from game (ie...the UK) and save yourself some money....... and its in English! Crazy i know.

I can't get it from Game, they don't deliver abroad. I only get it from places like cdwow.com play.com etc. etc. online international retailers. Steam is a rip-off.

I'll probably just play it safe and get the standard edition from cdwow.com because it seems we all doubt that the US version will work in Europe.

I see, i figured they would deliver abroad.

Ive no idea if the Us version will work tbh, i just thought it would have been easier to play it safe, though obviously that aint an option.

um Game does deliver internationally austria is listed in there delivery page here http://www.game.co.uk/Help/~h9846/Despatch/Countries/

I would be very surprised if the US version does not work in Europe. I have bought games from the US, Hong Kong and even Thailand before and they have all worked online in the UK. My copy of COD4 is from Taiwan I think (in Taiwanese packaging and everything), and that works perfectly online.

I am almost certain that the zone restrictions existant on console games (i.e. PAL, NTSC, etc.) do not exist at all on PC games and so you can play them anywhere in the world on any PC on any internet connection/IP address.

At the moment, GAME have the limited edition available for pre-order for just £24.99. Postage to Europe is £2.95 so it'll work out a tiny bit cheaper than that US version you have linked (especially if that website adds postage costs on top). Postage will take 3-5 business days from when the game is released as far as I know, but you will get the UK limited edition version.

Oh cheers, that looks good. Game must have changed, I haven't been to their website for ages (years) because when I firt moved out here I'm pretty sure they didn't deliver abroad.

Thanks for that.
