I don't think any copy you buy will work in the UK.

All to do with who owns what rights in which country, IIRC.

Either way, the DVD I ordered from Amazon UK won't work here in Sydney.

Post by: Heater on August 31, 2008, 03:03:18 PM: IT will work if you have a region free DVD player / recorder, or get a hold of a bit of software called DVDFab (Platinum)... the rest is up to you to figure out :)

Perhaps the UK just hates Australia? lol. I would think UK to U.S. might not have that issue for some reason... Nothing to back that up, just a feeling.

Yep. The next thing you know they will come out with a game where you can play like you are a WWII pilot.

basically you play hooky from Sunday school to go fishing when a t-storm blows in.

Title: Re: Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm
Post by: Elfie on September 02, 2008, 07:57:26 AM: That playable demo isn't working. I get a 4.0m download and it should be over 450m. I then get an error when trying to install saying the installer is either corrupt or incomplete. I'm going with the incomplete option since I only got a 4m download. Same thing happened with Firefox and IE.
