On any format... are you, or will you be buying it? (assuming that all formats are released here)

Thought I'd see what the stats are like here, as the people at Activision were curious.

I preordered.

I will buy it once it gets released, only offering the dlc pack with pre-order so im prepared to lose a bit more money if I really enjoy the game.

Intend to buy PC version, from online sources. Because retailers don't seem to know or care about the PC version not being released here.

I'm not into computer games. I have had 2 ps3s, Xbox, wii, and got rid of them after a few months after getting bored. FOC looks great though:)

I will pre-order. Not sure weather to go with the PC or PS3 version yet tho.

I really enjoyed the War for Cybertron Game - especially the escalation mode - FOC is looking to be even better in all respects, so a definate purchase for me - can't wait :D:cool:

I am hoping to preorder it in the next week or two - most likely for the 360.

I'll buy it when it gets released. Find out who has it for the cheapest.

Ill buy it online for the PS3 when it is released so I can get a better price.

I plan on preordering it the minute I can. though due to terminal laziness I'll probably just grab it when I see it

I'd like too but I don't have the time to play it. I've probably played a total of 30 mins on WFC :o Ahhh, the joys of having kids.

I'm still playing my way through War For Cybertron, though I am really enjoying it.

I plan to get it after it's releaesd, was thinking about PS3 as an option since I'm thinking about getting a PS3 for blueRay and using as a DVR, a game or two wouldn't hurt. otherwise i'll be picking up the PC version when it's released, possibly through Steam if they support it.

but if Activision want to support a good value PS3 package with a second controller, Play TV, the blueray remote and throw in a copy of FOC I'll be all over that like a fat kid on a cupcake.:D

If on Steam I might be tempted to shell out because I buy a lot of useless poop on there that I usually never play - I'm a terrible Steam impulse buyer. Would have to be sub $40 for me to consider it though.

Won't be getting it on console.

Bwa ha ha ha! Totally lol'ed at that! I was shocked that the ps3 isn't HD out of the box!! :D

On topic. I'll be buying it. Possibly in the shops on release if it's cheap enough, otherwise online.

Not likely to pre-order, because DLC isn't enough of an incentive. Afterall, I will probably end up buying the map packs later as well, which will no doubt include the pre-order exclusives anyway.

Definitely getting it when it comes out. Just trying to figure out if I'm getting it for the PS3 or PC.

So... I've preordered for PS3... what goodies should I be expecting? Cos my local EB seems rather clueless when I ask them about it -- they keep insisting that there are no specials that come w/ the preordered game. If people could also provide links too, so I can print out and show it to them. Thanks. :)

Dammit, I was hoping to play against you on the PC again Goktimus.
So be it, I'm getting the PS3 version too... and will be gloriously pwn'ed by everyone cos I'm dreadful at 3rd person shooters with a controller.

Im thinking of buying a PS3 as I want FOC but also need a new blu-ray player as the one I have doesnt work well. Just need to find the cheapest place to buy a PS3.:)

Not sure if the deals are still running but these are some recent catalog specials from June:

Sony PlayStation 3 - 160GB Console $229 @ Kmart
Sony PlayStation 3 - 160GB Console Bundle $249 @ Target

Not sure what Big W's price is but I do know they price match. Good luck snagging a good deal. :)

Oh and in answer to the topic - Yes, I'll be picking up FoC for the 360.

I'll be getting it. JB Hifi are doing $69 which isn't that much more expensive than importing it.

Pre-ordered as soon as it was available to be pre-ordered at my local EB store. I still play WFC multiplayer and escalation, so this game has gotta last me another few years. LOL

Edit - Just thought I'd mention how good that teaser trailer for the G1 dlc was! BEST!!!

After playing the demo last night I'm not going to rush out to get it right away.

I enjoyed the demo but it reminded me I've only played WFC through once, on my small old-school TV set. I've never played it with the volume up on a HD flatscreen.

So now that I've got the taste for the gameplay again, I think I'm going to play WFC again and wait for the price to drop a bit on FOC.

(This strategy worked well for me when Arkham City came out - I was keen to play it but satisfied the urge with a replay of Arkham Asylum instead and saved myself $30).

Has it been confirmed that there won't be a retail PC version either in Australia or at all?

I haven't seen it anywhere. Even if a retailer does stock it, it won't be as cheap as a Steam copy with DLC.

I agree. However it would be nice to know if one exists. It is easier on the wallet to import Retail PC games from overseas than buying them locally if you want the box/manual as a collectible.

No idea... but you could get it from STEAM.

Doesn't sound like they are planning to release a physical copy anywhere in the world. Maybe it was so last-minute, that they are just resorting to it only being accessible online, as it was too late to get it produced and shipped around the world.
Or maybe it's a trend (more sales online than in stores for PC games), and they are just going with the format that the majority would have bought?
Google activision Australia and give them repeated calls. I tried last week, but they never returned my call. Multiple calls may just get their attention though.

Just pre-ordered it today. Was going to wait until cheap, but I had some games to get rid of and thought it'd be too much hassle to flog them on ebay, so I traded them.

Might get up early tomorrow to nab it now...

Need to convince the missus to leave me alone for the day :D

Uhhh... don't think I'm gonna have time tomorrow to pick my game up as I have to work late. :( Even if I did... I really should finish off my last batch of exam marking before I get this game, cos once I do then the temptation to crack it open and play it will be overwhelming! XO

I've pre-ordered a hard copy PC version from www.ozgameshop.com will be shipped on or before the release date. no additional content but it was also only $40.00

Bought the PC version on Steam. I left it downloading this morning so it should be ready to play when I get back.

I will finish off Uncharted and then start playing FOC. I wish for my new 27" monitor to arrive before I get started though ;)

Currently, I've decided to put my purchase on hold as I'm trying to ssave for a 'Giant' purchase - That said once I have knocked that out of the road I'll probably pick it up on PC & PS3, one for the quality and the other for the Multiplayer fun. ;):cool:

yeh, me. It was also discussed int eh news thread. I just reasoned that it won't be available until the PSN updates later in the week. Give it a crack Thursday morning. Odd that the other two worked though.
