What's going to come in the box?

Post by Slick91 »

I may have missed this in another thread… [&:]

What all is going to be included in the boxed version (as opposed to direct download) of WITP?

Will the boxed version be available around the same time as direct download or will it come later?

One CD
One advertisment for another game.
One melted candy bar to sustain life the first night.
Divorce paperwork for your wife.
A small desk alarm so you'll remember to go to work or the power will get cut off and you will not be able to turn on your computer.
and
A warranty card that will not cover the loss of time.

The luxury Box gets a list of laywers specialised at divorce instead of the divorce paperwork.

The effect WITP has on Women

WITP has a strange effect of women (except ones that play wargames)

I keep asking back ... what box? [:D]

Current plans are digital download with a backup cd via mail should you want. As for what they show up at Origins with, who knows?

This is not going to the standard retail channels. Boxes cost money, I doubt there would be one.

I imagine it will be a cdrom with maybe an cd-style insert? The manual will be on cdrom (.pdf) and that is all you need. Keeps costs down, but who knows if the game sells well, it might end up in retail too with a 'box' for the masses. My guess only, I have zero inside knowledge.[&:]
