Both Game and Gamestop don't want to sell overseas. And we're talking about a delivery to Spain, we're not that far and I offered them to afford the delivery. Even with that they were firm in their cancellation. I ordered in Game because I had no official link for Spain from the preorder page. What else could I do?
I don't see why.With the EU common market isn't that illegal to refuse to sell to another EU member state?

Retailers aren't forced to sell to ANYONE at all, whether a 'local' or a 'foreigner', the process of selling something is someone offers an item for sale and someone else offers to buy it .. the seller is under no obligation to accept that offer.
EU regulations deal with ensuring fairness and a 'level playing field' when it comes to creating and adhering to contracts, sales contracts being one of course, but that only exists once a sale is agreed.
So, IANAL but it seems to me there can't be an EU regulation that demands a seller sell to anyone, the EU only ensures that all customers are treated equally.
I was in the same boat as you guys, I'm in Australia and I wanted the Imperial retail edition. They canceled my order twice and then send me this:
