I bought the New MC "Screaming Eagles" via direct download. It was convenient purchase and much cheaper than delivery (to Iceland) of a hard copy. Any possibilies of a direct download for other MC's?

Well, the E-store says all others except Watchtower are available as direct download. I think there are still original MCWT cd's in stock thus only a cd option.

Voriax! Thank you for the answer. If that is the case, I will have to postpone my purchase of MCWT until it becomes a Digital download. The shipping costs and taxes smeared upon the whole purchase, shipping cost effectively more than doubles the price. I want to support Matrix but the extra costs are almost prohibiting. I wonder if other people have this same purchasing dilemma as I do.

Sveinne, this is indeed the case. One solution is to find a person from US or Canada who purchases the CD for you (with low taxes and mailing costs) and then sends you the CD in a padded envelope. Thus you'd avoid local taxes...

Go to www.duchet.com (I think its French site ) , they have Watchtower and Lost Victories and shipping cost is symbolic compared to shipping from US .

Ive done 2 previous purchases from Duchet and I agree that the shipping costs are low compared to costs from the US. On the other side, Duchet (an english vendor) charges in pounds sterling and the exchange rates are driving the purchase price up compared to a direct download in USD. Just trying to get the better deal if I see a 50% difference.
