So Platinum finally hits Europe...tomorrow!
 
Ok I didn't see any thread around like this after a brief search, so yeah, just thought I'd make a thread for everyone from Europe who is going to get a copy of Pokemon Platinum EU version style! ;)

It's been a damn long wait for me! I know a lot of European Poke' fans imported their version from Japan or the US a while ago now, but I decided to wait for the EU version as I had a lot of uni work to be getting on with before then. (Yes, a uni student who plays Pokemon, omg...). I actually finished my 2nd year of uni today so I feel that getting the game tomorrow is a nice reward for the hard work I've been putting in. :)

Not actually sure where I'll be buying my copy from! I'll just go into town and see who has it, I'm bound to find a copy from somewhere!

Anyway, just to say to all the Euros who will be getting a copy, have a great day, enjoy yourself and of course enjoy the game! I'm sure London will have a big launch for the game, but I won't be going to that, it'll just be nice and quiet where I'm from. Would be nice to know what you other guys have planned for tomorrow :)

EDIT: Oops, just realised this was probably better off in the Pokemon General section! Sorry about that, of course it's up to the moderators, but just thought I'd point out my error hehe.

I've pre-ordered my copy from Amazon (they had the best price), so I've been checking to see if it's been dispatched all day.

I can't wait for it to arrive in the morning. :) It's not my favourite Pokémon game, but it'll be something to tide me over until SoulSilver arrives.

Mitchman May 21st, 2009 6:48 AM

I am soooo lucky. I know someone who imports from the UK some games and haha I have myself a pre ordered copy coming in from HMV. Tin can and all!

Pyrax May 21st, 2009 7:10 AM

I'd buy Platinum tommorow, but it's a school day :(
At least it's my birthday in a few days!

Matt140 May 21st, 2009 8:14 AM

I got mine today!!! :D (Got the figure yesterday),
pre-ordering from GAME was a good idea, but that tin-version sure does
look good!

Yes I'll be buying as early as possible tomorrow, can't exactly wait for the store to open. I really should've pre ordered it at the shaymin event. Dx

Kazukii May 21st, 2009 8:43 AM

I can't wait to get my copy :D I preordered it off Amazon and got it really cheap.
I'm looking forward to getting it soo much :D

Matt140 May 21st, 2009 9:04 AM

Only thing is, the European versions don't get one of the Rotom form card-things :(, or atleast mine hasn't got one..
The official european website is being a bit quiet... perhaps an upcoming secret key event in june??

Kazukii May 21st, 2009 9:13 AM

Hopefully, the americans always get everything <_<

Jorah May 21st, 2009 9:46 AM

I preordered it at GAME, I'm going to pick it up tomorrow! Well, my mum will, I've got to take my little brother to school so she'll get the games because she's buying 3. I didn't want to walk around with £90 worth of stuff. o.O

Matt140 May 21st, 2009 10:24 AM

Did anyone pre-order at play.com, I heard they were giving out platinum-styled DS wallets?

~Swish~ May 21st, 2009 10:59 AM

I had considered pre-ordering, I have done for other games in the past. But I'm only 5 minutes away from town, and I'm meeting up with some friends anyway, so it makes sense just to look around and find a copy somewhere. :)

Patchy May 21st, 2009 11:05 AM

I live in Ireland but I got mine in April :P

spike6958 May 21st, 2009 11:35 AM

Well i imported Plat from USA and got it the day before it was released there, but i lost my copy, along with my DS lite :(,so i got a DSi and i'll be getting this tomorrow

Alexithymia~ May 21st, 2009 11:41 AM

My brother actually asked to borrow it :P

TFN May 21st, 2009 11:46 AM

Same here :D
I wonder how long it'll take until Platinum becomes like the Wii early 2007, nowhere to be seen :D

Platiniris May 21st, 2009 12:31 PM

You're right. It says, "Pokemon Platinum Version (with FREE Pokemon Wallet)" now.

I'm sure that wasn't there when I was checking prices the other day. I almost wish I'd paid more and got that now. Oh well, I'm just happy to be getting Platinum finally.

~Swish~ May 22nd, 2009 12:55 AM

Got my copy! Got it from Argos in the end ;)

Just literally putting the cartridge into my DS now! Can't wait!

spike6958 May 22nd, 2009 6:08 AM

I got my copy from Morrison's for £25, i get all my games from there, unless I'm after a collectors edition (now if only i could deside which starter i want).

EDIT: For everyone asking about a europe Rotom Wifi event, The Secret Key will be obtainable between June 8th and July 19th.

Cheesymitten May 22nd, 2009 6:16 AM

Yay!
Well i might not be getting it as soon as you guys :( but i know i will get it @[email protected] possible
