Again we are fixed to US release time when internationally its common to release on a Friday. I liked it how with Quake wars internationally was released on the Friday then on the following Monday for US. To me people who want it online will have ordered it by now and the people who want to wait for retail will wait till Monday. Will make no difference to retail sales really.

Am I correct to assume the D/L version is coming with a PDF manual? With ship stats, game basics etc
I'm from NZ and I just gave up trying to get game locally and ordered it online. Worked out cheaper with none of the hassle. Sad really when you talk to local game stores and they don't have a clue. Unless a game gets heaps of media hype they don't have a clue. Real bad trend for gaming....sry went a little off topic then LOL
Lets hope its better than that on release. Really want to play the game on the release day. Game looks awesome.
Will wait and see man. When that timer hits 0 theres going to be alot of server strain.
Can we assume the preorder will be available to D/L when timer hits 0? If so are you guys ready to cope with the demand, wouldn't it be better to phase it in over the weekend by emailing out keys over the weekend? (Randomise the emails so there is no complaining) I would rather have some ppl start and finsh over weekend and wait if it will reduce problems with the D/L later on. With out a preload I fear there maybe issues when d/ling on release.
Is this backdoor still working?
I have been following this game for a while and after reading post about game not being released in Au/NZ till April I will probably get it online. A question about online version, How does it work? What I mean by this is it a one off d/l or is it like Steam where it it linked to an account so I can re download if I have PC problems. I wouldn't mind paying the extra $10US for box version but is that include shipping to New Zealand or is that extra?
