I nearly choked on my coffee today, twice
First there was the 9/10 at Neoseeker for which I was very grateful, especially since that review happened because we provided a review copy based on a hint from someone here in the forum, and then next , reading MCV, a trade industry magazine covering mostly the UK - I spotted the following article:
More Stock en-route as Divinity II sells out
Mastertronic has promised to provide more stock for Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga after the first batch sold out. The launch allocation has run out ahead of it's release today. But the game's distributor has assured retailers that there will be sufficient supply to meet demand. "Our experience with the original Divinity II meant that we were expecting good things for the launch of this expanded edition, but the demand has really taken us by surprise" said Mastertronic's group sales director James Cato.
"We've had to pull out all the stops to get more stock and to make sure that we can continue to fulfill orders in time"
"A lot of hard work from a lot of people means that we are still going to hit our release dates and there will be minimum disruption to orders already placed"
"Such high levels of interest point to Divinity II being one of the strongest RPG titles on the market this Christmas"
I don't know what to make of it, but I think this is the first time we have something like this happen to us in the UK
