I bought it.[:)]

Hmm, only in the UK I guess. It still says "currently unavailable" in the US Amazon.

Stock was dispatched from the US to both locations simultaneously. I assume it will be available soon, but its all out of our hands!

Done you still get instant access to download it if you buy from Amazon UK?

I'm afraid not. You'll only be able to download after having registered the game's serial number in your member's area.
And for that you'll need to have the book. The serial number is printed on the disc.

Okay, doesn't necessarily put me off ordering from Amazon, but thanks for letting me know

I am glad to hear that I can download the game if I buy from Amazon. No DVD on this new machine.

Does this amazon version include hardcopy of manual or something? Judging by UK price I am guessing that it does.

There are only 2 ways to buy the game
* Digital Download from us (later will also be possible from Steam)
* Hardback book with disk in the sleeve (We sell the same thing here and on Amazon)

There is no traditional boxed version. The book is effectively the box. If you buy the book from us you get the download immediately as we know your serial. The only issue with ordering from Amazon is as Paulo says, we don't know your serial. We send a whole shipment of books to Amazon and don't know which individual book and serial goes to which customer. So you have to wait till you get your book to see the serial but with Amazons 1 day shipping its not a huge wait, and its certainly better for shipping.

Warning - We are running dangerously low on the initial batch of books. We have another batch on the way but not due to arrive till December 20th. As of yesterday we were down to just 60

Please order ASAP to avoid disappointment.

I'm glad I'll be able to download from Matrix as well as having the manual and the disc. Combined with the free shipping that seems to be the best of both worlds.



According to the game's Amazon page there are only 13 left in stock!

If you want it before Xmas don't delay. [:)]

I was able to order from US Amazon. It estimated in stock on Dec 5th with 2-day delivery date of the 8th.

Damn. OOS on Amazon UK now. Any idea if you will be sending anymore to them? Not willing to pay the postage costs from the US for the manual.

We get new stock around the 20th December so we may not have time to restock them before the Christmas break. If not it will be early January.
