which platform/pre-order?

[t_kaay]

Hi guys, just noticed amazon are taking pre orders of the game at ?19.99 (pc)...I had the ps3 version last time around but got fed up with constant disconnection issues, quitters and lack of opponents online...thinking of going for the pc version this time around.....do you recommend pc or ps3? what are you guys going for? anyone preordering? ?19.99 seems a good price for a new release.

PC certainly.

Just to mention, if you'd like to pre-order the Ashes Cricket 2013 games, please consider doing so with the following Amazon links ? which give something back to help the costs of PlanetCricket Ashes Cricket 2013 (PC DVD), Ashes Cricket 2013 (PS3), Ashes Cricket 2013 (Xbox 360), Ashes Cricket 2013 (Nintendo Wii U)

Can you guys in India not just pre-order it on Amazon and get it shipped over?

Amazon only ships UK and main lands

Genuinely did not know that. Amazon delivers here all the time (middle-east), and it's a black-hole for postage... weird they don't ship to the sub-continent.

Delivery depends on the item - they don't seem to ship Games to many places - can't buy games from there to ship to Australia either. But yeah, if Amazon will ship to you - then why not?

Other items they are usually fine.

Amazon does ship things to India, but the shipping charges are too high. If I were to buy the PC version of the game from Amazon(PC Store), I pay around $10 as conveyance and shipping charges and plus handling charges if any. Thereby, I end up paying 33-35% more.

But if I buy the same game off Flipkart (a site similar to Amazon), I get a minimum of 5% rebate for paying through my card, if there aren't any other discounts, without anny shipping costs.

I am more likely to either buy the Xbox or the PC version. PC more likely.

I don't have a problem with paying for postage since it's saving me the hassle of a plane flight to buy the game ...makes me laugh when people get all uppity at postage costs, cracks me up. Just factor it into your purchase...

I probably could wait a week for it to come on the Indian site and get it delivered the next day, rather than wait a week for it to come all the way from UK.
