Digital Download and CD-On Demand <- READ

[Erik Rutins]

This should answer your questions on our Digital Download and CD-On Demand methods of ordering.

1. How fast is the Digital Download?

Generally as fast as your connection. It has auto-resume in case the download is interrupted, though you can also use a third party download manager to handle that if you prefer.

2. Can I download my game and also get it on CD? Can I just get it on CD? Can I just download it?

Yes to all. For around $10, you get CD on Demand, which ships a CD out to you as soon as the order is placed. This can take from a week up to three weeks depending on your country (CDs are shipped from the US and Europe). When you place an order, you can choose not to download it and instead just wait for the CD to arrive. Alternately, you can choose to just download your game without receiving the CD.

3. What about orders outside the US?

Try our international stores, which offer alternate currencies, credit cards and shipping from warehouses outside the US.

4. What is this Box on Demand?

Starting in August, we will offer to ship you not just the CD, but the CD in a game box (DVD Case). This service is not yet available, but you can still get the CD using CD on Demand.

Please check the Online Store for any additional questions.

Is this the formal " Go Ahead"?

[Captain Ed]

should one burn a cd with the compressed copy I get from DD or should it be installed on the hard drive then burned

Nope.

Edit: Whoops, misunderstood. Burn the original downloaded file, that's the installer.

Not likely. They still have some "anomolies" on the Store page (US store) for the game. Says War In The Pacific, but the thumbnail screen shots are from another game. And stuff at the bottom of the page is also from another game. I didn't go any further than that....

Will the August boxed version come with anything else (players guide, map, manual, etc.), or just the CD with a cool looking label?

[8|] Yeah, what he said.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

If so, why? UV came with that stuff (excluding a printed map).

Normally from me ...possible. This time however I really am trying to justify
why I or anyone would bother waiting till August for a DVD box and great looking cover as your prize for waiting??? No offense Matrix/2x3 but I can just put the downloaded file on a CDRW and put that inside the UV DVD box. The UV cd can
find a nice sleave to live out the remainder of its days. [8|]

I just ordered and chose the CD on command option, I'm not going to download - due to being dial-up and some Internet problems I've been having. The system never asked me for a shipment address, does that mean it automatically ships to the billing address? Totally fine that's where I would've wanted it to go, just making sure there isn't a problem.

From August on you will have the option to also select a "box on demand" option in our E-Store.

[ffak]

Thanks Marc but I would like to know if there is any .jpg for the cover in the file provided with DD, not when I could buy a game box [;)]

[Speedysteve]

A stupid questions I know but..........

I plan to order just a CD so:

Do I still put a quantity of 1 in the Digital Download option or do I reduce that quantity to 0 and just put a 1 in the CD on Demand bit?

[Erik Rutins]

Speedy,

You still need to buy the digital download, since that is the game proper. The CD on demand cost covers shipping you a copy on CD anywhere in the world.
