Good news for New Zealand gamers.

I sent an email to FirstGames regarding the available date to purchase IC2010 and this is their response:

That's early, MightyApe have it down for an October 29 release. CDWOW have it as the 26th of June though so they're the earliest.

I wouldn't recommend to buy from CDWOW.

I had a few problems with them myself as I had bought the game (for a cheap price) but didn't receive my game for 2 months.

There are some terrible reviews about them on this site:

Yea I've had a couple of problems with them myself - they're terrible when busy (i.e. around Christmas) but most of the time I find they're fine.

I've never heard of FirstGames until now. I used to use CDWOW but they were dreadful, always arriving late and mucking up the address. How is FirstGames?

First Games is pretty good, they have a store presence as well. More a homegrown brand.

Honestly man, they are excellent when it comes to delivery and service.

I have bought a few PC and XBOX 360 games from them and they delivery on time depending on where you live. Also their prices are way better than what retailers such as DSE, Noel Leeming and even JB Hi Fi.

I just purchased Alan Wake and got it for $80 compared to $99 at Dicksmith. You get free shipping if your game is over $35.

Another game I purchased was Ashes Cricket 09 for PC for $35.

I received these games the day after.

With CD WOW, their prices are cheap but you won't be receiving the game for a while. When I complained, they didn't respond back.

Looking forward to this

Awesome. I was going to use play asia, but would rather get it from a store in New Zealand.

@punjabi_mc can you please let us know when you've been able to order the game from first games?

Thanks
