but for what Price they gave away these 50 early access copies?
Ah. That seems to be the million dollar question. I guess that becomes public knowledge at that point. I'm curious myself.

I think the answer is that they are GIVING them away. So the cost will be zero [:)]

Kelly: Well Oddball, what do you think?
Oddball: It's a wasted trip baby. Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers.
Big Joe: Hey look, you just keep them Tigers busy and we'll take care of the rest.
Oddball: The only way I got to keep them Tigers busy is to LET THEM SHOOT HOLES IN ME!
Crapgame: Hey, Oddball, this is your hour of glory. And you're chickening out!
Oddball: To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Tigers.
Kelly: Nobody's asking you to be a hero.
Oddball: No? Then YOU sit up in that turret baby.
Kelly: No, because you're gonna be up there, baby, and I'll be right outside showing you which way to go.
Oddball: Yeah?
Kelly: Yeah.
Oddball: Crazy... I mean like, so many positive waves... maybe we can't lose, you're on!
Woof,woof,woof,woof

The early access copies are on sale at Essen! They are selling fast so if you want one be sure to stop by the stand as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
To give you an idea of pricing we are selling the PC Game, 3 Hardback books and the 21 x 9 foot map in a package for just €150 at Essen.
This is discounted on the final price but indicative of it. If you think about the cost of a new hard backed game book - usually ~$40 each plus the cost of a printed map at that size - At least $100 and probably up to $400, the value for money on the physical part of the game is unbelievable. The physical items alone could have been valued at $200-$400.
Then add in that you are getting the PC game too and I think you'll agree this is an amazing amount of value for money!

Is the inclusion of the physical map going to be cumpulsory for general sales? I thought it was going to be an option. It'd be nice if I had somewhere to put it but I don't, so I'd rather save the money.
Cheers, Neilster

Hmmm. Than I'll wait to buy the one for my friend, until the game itself becomes available. It's simply too much to pay for an item I'm not going to use...

Google tells me 150euro = USD$207.15 so when I allow for the "discounted price" at Essen and the comment that the game without maps is about half the Essen price I estimate that we'll be paying
USD$130 for the game. Unless, of course, the sales figures at Essen are so huge that they decide to add another $20-$30 to the price to tap into the pent-up demand.
Steve, go have a beer. You've earned it.
