hard copy disc and book

[newcastle]

I ordered this game on 12/26 and purchased the digital down load and hard copy. I still have not received my hard copy.

Any thoughts? I would really like to see the manual.

I simply quote Erik who just summarized what we posted on a few official threads already:

Sorry for all those who have been waiting a while. I've posted in a few official threads about this, but I'll summarize here. We ran into major unexpected delays specifically because this was the first product we were providing as a "game on demand" but with printed manuals included. This process, despite extensive preparations, ran into problems that were extended further because of the holidays. Furthermore, when we realize the initial supply of printed boxes, manuals and CDs would not meed demand, we ordered another larger batch to meet all existing orders and more. This second batch was delayed a bit as well.

On top of that, the whole process is only working on the US site at present. Non-US store orders for boxed copies are still back-ordered. However, getting stock in for non-US orders is our top priority and we expect it to be completed this week, so those should ship out as well, with any luck, by the end of the week.

This is not typical for us - normally a boxed game ships out in a matter of a day or two. We expect that once we are through these growing pains, future titles will be back to a smooth schedule again.

With that said, if you ordered from the US store before last week and you don't get a shipping notification this week, e-mail me at erikr@matrixgames.com with your order # and I'll follow up to see what the order status is.

Regards,

- Erik

Well, I finally got the package and I am pleased, what a book!  Very pleasing - the damn thing weighs a ton.
 
Anyway, I don't often spend a lot of time searching threads and reading others posts so, I appreciate your response.
