Being from the UK, there is no obvious way of getting a beta key as far as I’m aware (tried and failed in lots of competitions). I’m tempted to pre-order from a country where beta keys are being given out (eg amazon.de), but I don’t know if international orders will be honoured. Also, don’t know if I’ll be able to cancel once the beta code has been used. Aggh! Feels like such a cheap thing to do, but desperate times deserve desperate measures! Or perhaps I’ll just wait to see if amazon.co.uk comes up with a similar promotion.

Germany has a tradition of strict censorship regulations, I'm not sure if that's where you want to turn. 12game (where I ordered my copy) has a field for filling in your country when ordering. I'm pretty sure they ship to the UK, but I don't know how much the shipping will be (nor how long it will take). In general a Dutch copy shouldn't differ from the UK version in any regard apart from that you probably will have Dutch/French text on the box. | ||

I checked amazon.de and did not find anything about you need to be from germany... So you could try out But I personally would try to wait at least till the end of week, maybe the next week. | ||
