Battles In Normandy Is Available!
Hi everyone,
Well, it seems that DR still manages to surprise us. I'll keep away from expressing my feelings right now and just get to the facts.
1. Battles in Normandy is not ready for sale yet, though we are still on schedule for 5PM.
2. The link that has appeared in the store is a DR mistake, everything is supposed to be offline until we are done checking.
3. If you mistakenly ordered already, hang on, we'll have a resolution, but PLEASE do not order again until we give the word.
4. This thread will disappear when the final version is up and checked AND I will post a new announcement.
Please do not go nuts until an announcement is posted here. Thanks and sorry again. I'm going to go and $#&@*($ DR a new #$@&*(@#$ now.
Regards,
- Erik

Thanks, my order did go through with VISA, so I'll just wait for your announced solution. You have to admit though, it was exciting there for a moment ...

You have my sympathies. Thank you for clarifiying this rapidly, before many of us plopped down our plastic.
Though I betcha the DR folks aren't happy about their screw up either--I doubt they want to cause their customers angst

I seem to be the guy that found it -- or at least, I reported it to Digital River 10 or 15 minutes ago. I assume the only screw-up is putting the wrong file in place?
(I have little/no fear that I'll be able to download once they fix the link)

And then to think, I just said to my girlfriend how lucky I was to notice that BIN was up so fast. Oh well......[:(]
RE: ANNOUNCEMENT: Battles in Normandy is NOT up yet, please do not purchase
Another thing is that there wasn't an option for a backup to be sent on the order page, just the dd.
Is there a way to expunge all existing orders of BIN and then start over?? [X(]

Gentlemen,
No money should be lost. What we are hoping is that you will simply be able to use your existing order numbers and serial numbers and re-download the correct file in a very short while. So don't panic, but please feel free to use all the angry emoticons you want. I'm quite upset myself at the moment and it feels good to vent.
I reiterate - if you ordered already, don't worry, you should be fine.
Regards,
- Erik

I, for one, think that this is just a little bit of excitement thrown in for my money. Where else do you get such intrigue? Such an emotional roller coaster? I can hardly go back to editing the manuscript I was working on. (I'm just waiting for someone now to chime in with their dissatisfaction with the price ! 10 9 8 7 ... )
