I've already got the PS5 disc coming tomorrow, but It's very tempting to get it on PC

I'm in the same boat. I might get it on steam play for less than 2 hours & then refund. But at the same time I dont mind supporting big ant & owning copies on multiple platforms.

I don't know this issue with the 8am Melbourne release time. That's 6pm over in the States. Perfect as I knock off work!

And to think theres a large number of people located in Melbourne who still have no idea when they'll be able to even buy the game...

Feeling for the people at EB/JB tomorrow that will get those abusive customers. Despite the emails/texts that went out about Xbox some will choose to ignore it or even missed it altogether and will be causing scenes in store.

Steam will be 12.00am Melbourne time

PS will be 8am Melbourne time

cryint

I appreciate the sentiment but the pre-orders are off the charts, we'll be fine.

Hard to believe that between getting off the plane tonight and collecting baggage the thread was closed and this one had three pages.

Who is up for an online match, when this releases at midnight?

Ill be too busy delisting Jack Mahony

 

[Kickpuncher]

Send him to Richmond. We’ll take anyone after losing to Gold Coast

BigAntStudios very likely won’t get an answer, but is there a deadline for which Xbox physical copies have to be available before it can go digital only without any repercussions (or a hit you’re willing to take)? or is it a straight-up no, and that physical copies MUST be available for the game to be on digital stores?

Do you get numbers on cancelled pre-orders and are you able to show that figure to whoever royally screwed up the Xbox launch to receive some kind of compensation?

 

[Treehill23]

My son is crying because other kids will get the game at 12am and he will get it at 8am.

How can this be allowed in 2022?

It’s 2024 brother
Get with the times

I think West Coast needs him a little more, they're about to send Oscar Judd out to play at this point

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

I feel like Hulk Hogan at this minute

Not this week! They play us! We still have nightmares about the last Judd

Hopefully less racist

Okay well, if there is no Holy Grail then instant refund then haha

Whatcha gonna do Xbox brothers? When PC and Ps players have the game but not you?

 

[GOTHELIONS16]

Xbox users in 2073 on the day when AFL23 is finally released.

Has to meet particular stock limits, lot of bullshit retail laws to abide by.
