Cool. Are these international versions or for US sales only?
I like the Korsun Pocket box, and the EYSA looks awesome.

They should be both...

We have distribution deals in place to allow us to get our games into different places around the world.

By the power of the right click you will see from which site I got the box art.

Generally these are US boxes only. It depends on our strategic partner Just Play if they want to redo the box.

Great, now let's see how they look on some shelves!
If I didn't hold a job at a print shop in a previous life and already know how infernally slow those guys can be, I'd probably be whining by now.
Maybe I'll whine anyway.
*whine whine*

Yeah, I know the servers are apparently being moved from point A to point B or something. I just recieve email from people saying they can't order TOSWS from matrix's e-store so I have to send them elsewhere even if it is only to pre-buy a copy or two.
Any information on which stores will actually have copies of these on shelves. I have seen boxes of uncommon valor and starships uplimited at Compusa and gamestop.

Hi Guys
We will be shipping first from our Warehouse when the new games are available. A few weeks after that they will be available in the stores.
I should get an ETA on our new store on Monday.

Cool. Boxes look good, (except Titans maybe could do with some improvement). But it's hard to tell without looking at the REAL BOX.
BTW, does MG ever do their own box artwork or is someone else always responsible/contracted?

All the box artwork is Marc's dept and work.

If it takes much longer for me to actually get my hands on a couple of those boxes, any artwork thereon (regardless of quality) will be quickly rendered obsolete as I shred the boxes into tiny little fragments in order to get at the contents.
Pity my poor, doomed boxes.
Does anyone here just love the smell of a new game box? Like, when you first break it open, do you just take a good healthy sniff of what's inside to experience that lovely "new game aroma" ?
Maybe I'll compile a list of the top 10 best-smelling PC games of all time.
