$69.95 American, plus shipping. It's on the development page of the Matrix Web site.

The release date is given as March 2003.

Witp is a garanteed bargain because we know matrix will support it as they have done UV.
on a cost per hour basis UV is already miniscule.
I just want to buy it so i cam play it!!!

I remember paying $79 for War in Russia back in 1984 for my Apple IIe and I played that for many, many years. So for $70 in 2002 is not such a bad price.

I think I payed like $40 for PACWAR back in 1992. I still have the disk, box, manual, and the advertisement flyers that came with it. Am I a pack rat or what? I guess I can handle the $70. Just wish it was coming out sooner. I have been dreaming about this for two years now.

Shoot - seventy bucks? You can't even have a decent five minutes in Vegas on that anymore.

For $70 US you can go up to the Stratosphere tower and do the "Big Shot" slingshot ride 70(!!!!) times. Although this would probably accumulated enough G forces to make you a lot shorter . . . (Big Shot is a hydraulic/magnetic slingshot that shoots you straight up. Basically you sit on a chair, and the back of a chair is tied to a really high pole that goes straight up off the top of the Stratosphere tower (so you are already 1000ft above Las Vegas) and basically they shoot you up the pole - you hit 4.3 Gs on the way up, hit the top, and then they almost let you free fall all the way back down).

Biggest rush you can get in Las Vegas for $1. Which still meant it cost me $2 (AUS), and in reality I had to pay $4 Aus every time (girlfriend) but is still cheap . . .

Jeez, man, if all you go to Vegas for is to climb into a carnival ride that gives you a wedgie and nausea, I hope you enjoy your seventy bucks' worth. The best rides in Vegas tend to have, shall we say, more feminine names...

Shoot that up your pole (and they don't discriminate, they are friendly to Poles, too). The hydraulic effect of a ride known as "Fellatia" is especially thrilling...

I am having a hoot playing UV. In just a week and a half since I got the game, it has more than paid for itself already. . .

Who cares how much WiTP costs. I spend $70.00 a week in groceries. This game will be played for years. . .

Just take your time with WiTP fellas and get it right. . .

Can't wait. . .

Shhhhhhh! Keep that kind of talk quiet lest they make WitP only playable on their serverand charge by the hour.

No way will I every play a game that I cannot clutch the disc in my gnarly little fingers (i.e. no "eLicense"). I stopped buying a few game lines becuse of that like, Front Office Football and Out of the Park Baseball. Good news is that FOF4 is on disc this time

I do wish I could make a b/u copy of UV though. Spending $1 for a disc to burn is much less painful than $15 (or whatever it is) + postage to return the darned thing for a replacement.

Now when I buy a PC game for my kids, I make a spare copy and hide the original.

You can download it in chinese website for free

And then you can forget all about the patches, new revisions, sequels, forum support etc.

That's the one thing these chinese (or whoever) buddies haven't figured out yet in their shortsighted greediness (=theft).
