Those of you who've been dying to pre-purchase Rome 2TW can do so now at Steam for a mere $60 ( I don't know how much that is in Roman talents). And get an additional 3 playable Greek factions too. Release date is Sept. 2013. It's gonna be a long summer of waiting for Ceasar. Look in the Steam.com News section for info and link to product page.

WTF is going on with PC gaming? £45 for a game? That's mental.

im not a fan of prepurchase - i never see any thing good come from it, but each and every (IMHO) TW release has been good to go out of the box for me

I know therell be those that say Europe was terrible and Rome was even worse - i didnt see it, didnt see any of the bugs people reported and i frankly dont care if Zagreb didnt have a curve to the east or Bulgarian horsemen rode with a jaunty gallop and its not represented - i pressed play, i played, i loved it

...........................

£45 though  :o

^ totally agree. My favourite was Rome Total War

But £45 is far too steep. And I'm certainly not paying that for a pre-order. What the hell has gone wrong? Surely the "early adopters" should get the benefit of a reduced price...unless that is the reduced price!?  ???

Wait a few months and it will be half the price in a sale judge  ;)

The other TW titles have been available at Wal-mart, Best Buy,etc. at release but what confounds me is the different additional content versions. Each seller for the last 3 games has had a specific content version just for them. Special units, special factions, on & on. That doesn't seem fair, especially if you're going to try any kind of multiplayer stuff and eventually they're all available on Steam anyway.

The $60 pricetag doesn't surprise me.  It seems the norm for new "AAA" titles from big outfits.  Skyrim, Bioshock Infinite, SimCity, Company of Heroes 2, now Rome 2 -- all released at $60 if I'm not mistaken.

I guess the idea is, milk the fans who just cannot wait and have to buy right away.  See how long the game sells well at the $60 price point.  Many months later, start selling at discount. 

...I think you can get Skyrim for $30 now.  Guess you just have to decide whether you must have the game or can afford to wait.

Amazon's got it for pre-order at $60 too. No mention of any special addition. My head says no but heart says Go Go Go.

Nice find Steve. Thanks big time for the Eagle-eye spotting. Anybody tried this company out before? I don't want to be funding Kim Jung Il's next missle. 8)

I bought from them recently during their last GetLoadedGo sale. Got both Carrier Command and Sniper Elite V2 HCE  for $24.  Had absolutely zero problems.  Got a Steam key for Sniper Elite V2 HCE and downloaded Carrier Command from a link they sent.  I believe they are across the pond in GB somewhere...

I have vague and puzzling memories of my purchase of Empire TW at Best Buy.  In the end Empire was such a not-much-fun-overall game that I almost skipped Shogun2.  Shogun2 has been so much fun that I'm just getting Rome2 without a moment of rational reflection.  Extra Greek Factions!  You bet!
