Sounds a bit strange i know, but when will V be available to d/l ? I would like the book poster etc etc but with carriage and taxes and whatnot it works out a bit expensive.
I would like the 'headstart' available to the box preorder customers but i dont know if this will be the case with the d/l

ah, nice to hear.

I was afraud that this wasn't viewed at anymore.

Nice to hear you still care for overseas customers and that VO isn't that far out of sight for me as I was afraid

meant to ask, will it have to be credit card or can we use debit cards like Switch. If not can we use PayPal (ughhh)

I agree. I'm on a pretty tight budget, the odds of getting the box set pre-order is low for me, but I'd love to pre-order the dl version if possible.

same here. it would be excelent to be able to preorder a download version and cut the shipment costs.

Just wish EB would get their arse in gear so us europeans can pop in a preorder the thing locally, instead of facing massive shipping charges from gamestop.

Anyone know what the deal is with that? they've never even heard of the game :(

ok, enough rambling, seems dl option would suit me considering the situation. Although i'd rather have the box set :/

I too would like the box set and book etc etc Temporalis but the last time i ordered anything from the states ( i think it was Terminus) it ended up costing me nearly £60 with the import taxes, vat, royal mail handling (WTF?)
As for EB my local branch dont seem interested so i wont hold my breath.

same here i bought diablo 2 a long time ago, it cost me 30$ of shipping but also 20$ of 'customs taxes' or something, but they didnt tell me that until the factor was at my house :/ so i dont really want to pay something like 80$ just for a nice box :)

Maybe Guild Softwear could ship for less? I mean couldn't the bypass some of the taxes you'd have to pay on it. They could use a louphole and just say they are mailing a package to a friend. But then again, lots of mail going to friends in other countries for a place using computers might make HLS(home land security) a little upset. (stupid idiots making people think everyone is a terrorist)

Should I cancel my order with Gamestop then? I did the pre-order with them but it won't arrive until after the game is released.

For some reason, I was under the impression that they'd send the CD-key.
Oct 26, 2004 ratonu link
no, but i think you will get a key sooner and be able to convert THAT account on release.
Oct 27, 2004 goatwarrior link
Yep. I got my key. I'm ready for the juicy release.

Is there a link for that ?
Oct 29, 2004 greggary link
??

still working on it?

I hope so. At the moment it looks like d/l ers might be the first people to get their keys.
Didnt i see a link somewhere as to who was going to be dealing with the monetary side of the d/l for those of us living outside the U.S. I cant find it now :(
