Matrix Games Forums

To all concerned: Is anyone aware of anything being done for the people who bought the game in the first few days, before there was a disk available??? What i'm getting at, is do the people who paid the 44 bucks at the onset for the digital download have to pay it again for the hardcopy??? I remember this issue came up at the release of the game when all us impatient bastards HAD to have the game immediatly. I just dont know if a verdict from Matrix was ever issued. I am in no way trying to say i got screwed in any way (I love the game and the price was a steal) but still i would like a backup disk. Any info would be great, thanks in advance.
Happy Birthday Marines...

IMO the only difference between the dl and hard copy is the printed manual. I downloaded an exe file, installed the game, then copied the exe to a CD. I then wrote the activation code on the CD. I think that is a backup.

You know, i dident even think of that. I have been meaning to buy a burner and i think this clinches it. The only thing is i think there was a part of me that wanted the pretty box with the pretty new shiny disk and manual. But this is the next best thing.

You could always throw it onto a flash drive too if you don't have a CD-R

Hi all,

I beleive the offical word was that SOMEDAY they planned to offer a boxed version upgrade where if you bought the DL version you could pay $10 and get the boxed version with manual and disk.  However, that has not (to my knowledge) happened yet.  I would check in the main Matrix forums.

Thanks,
Duncan
