How much

[Phatguy]

NWS is very legit.....Been shopping with them for years

[stormbringer3]

I've bought games from them over the years, including GG's War Between the States, and they are completely legit. I was suprised at the price differental so I ordered WitE right away in case it changed. What I have decided to do with my savings is use them to having the manual printed so I can have a complete physical manual.

I notice that NWS is offering GG WitE for $63.99 snail mail only.  Will this edition be fully registerable and updateable in future?

Yes. Chris @ NWS is legit.

Its the same for the UK. Any purchase coming from within the EU to another EU country e.g. Germany to UK is not subject to any additional import duty or VAT as it will have been charged in the country you got it from and is thus exempted from further duty within the EU.

If an item is purchased from a country outside the EU eg USA, for a price above the tax exemption limit of £18, then it is subject to UK VAT and possibly to import duty depending on the type of good it is as the rates vary for different things, you would need to look it up on the HM Revenue and Customs website. I buy a lot of modelling stuff from overseas so I am always careful to by stuff under the limit or if you get stuff on ebay sometimes people will put 'gift' on it and the tax exempt limit goes up to £40 value.

As for the side issue of the choice of having theses taxes. I am a UK and USA citizen I have lived in both countries and much prefer paying the higher taxes and having more Government services eg health Care, benefits etc. The USA is a great country if you have money/good job if you are poor its a tortuous hell hole of suffering and anxiety, I got sick in the USA and found out my insurance wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I prefer the European model myself so I choose to live in the UK/EU. The only thing I really miss from the USA is my gun collection!

My saving are going to be plowed into a Matrix titles thats one of the Holiday specials....I had 100 bucks set aside for WITE. Cost me 71 at NWS so the other 29 need to be spent on a game.It doesnt really matter which as long as I spend it on a Matrix title.....

Hum...I think Erik needs to comment on this. It seems at this short time that they can undercut Matrix. Something stinks here...

No, it doesn't.

[FM WarB]

There are three purchase options:
1) Immediate gratification digital download from Matrix
2) Immediate gratification plus disk and abridged manual snail mail from Matrix
3) Disk and abridged manual from NWS snail mail (no digital download)

# 1 and 3 (with postage) are about the same price, but you must wait for 3. #2 gives you it all at the highest price. Seems like a good range of choice for all concerned.

NWS is a re-seller, they're legit.. if they sell cheaper, that's just lower profits per unit on their part.. all legit.. Most people who buy HPS games, buy them from NWS..

I think I'm going to grab the Distant Worlds expansion. Very charming game, a diamond in the rough for the vanilla version. So I'm rather keen on the expansion.

I am on your side. I find your posts in the past to be intelligent, and interesting and not rambling on and on like some of mine LOL.
Even though the Russian front is my favorite land battle I fear like AE it will just have to long of a learning curve for this old guy. I have not always agreed with you but you always put your thoughts up front and state them clearly which i have always had difficulty with.

BTW I loved that movie to
"Well mister I am the law how do you answer to being here?"
"I DON'T

Awww darn I missed the sale. [:(]

[PyleDriver]

My guess is Erik made a phone call over the weekend.

Distributor's can usually (Apple, for example, has hellish minimum price requirements) sell at whatever price they want, and buy at a lower price than retail. Retailers will put on sales for any number of reasons. In this case it could be because they were looking to get people in the store with a good deal on a new game and potentially gain a new customer for other games, or to encourage people to think "Hey, this is normally 80 bucks, and I was going to buy it for, why don't I also buy this other thing with the money I saved." Could have been anything.

Think the price of Grigsby WWII games about the War in Russia have gotten too expensive?

Here's another perspective...

(note that this is without any economic mumbo-jumbo and/or rationalizations)

NWS is my main source of HPS games.

[diablo1]

I never bought those $60-$80 games back in the 80's either though. You could get all the SSI games for $20-$30 off at Chips & Bits anyways and later on several other bargain bin magazine ad sites. Sort of like NWS has most of HPS games for $20 off now and sells the boxed version of Matrixgames for the same price as the digital download.

[:D] Very simply put I can hear that whining tone of yours about the price all the way to my very own little computer. With my very own copy of WITE on the hard drive,that I have been enjoying very much since December 7th. And yes,yes I paid full price for it so you may laugh at me to your hearts content. I have no complaints.[;)]
