If you order it direct from stardock online via SDC, you will get digital download; if you select the digital download + boxed copy version you get the boxed copy in the mail, and the digital download.

I don't know what the cut off was, but the general plan was that people who pre-ordered get the CE instead of the normal one, but I don't know if thats still open.

thnx guys, Kryo, is there a link to the CE version? I can't seem to find it or is it as posted before, a if you pre-order now direct thing? Thnx again.

I'm not sure if we've cut off CE's or not. That's something Yarlen'll have to answer tomorrow. If not, any direct box orders will be filled with them.

I laughed out loud at the topic title. You made it sound like they're a cult or something.

Well, in a way, that is not far from the truth. It is a "cult of personality" regarding how to conduct business and deal with consumers. Food for thought...

You'll need to contact sales@stardock.com immediately after release about getting a box. There will likely be an extra media fee in addition to shipping though, since you bought with tokens--the dramatic discount tokens bring is partly because you're only getting the download with no box option.

Ok, so today I did the link from the front page that says order digital+cd, thou in the order it showed only cd. I hope that a download will be avalible as well, (never know how long shipping will take) is this the case Yarlen? Order under chaintm@yahoo.com if you want to check that account, thnx.

Was going to buy those token things, but eh, for a 26 days of trying a beta build and having to go threw the frustrations of not getting a retail box version (Unless I notified someone after it was out) just seems a bit to much trouble for what it is worth. So I went with the retail digital+cd, cancelled my retail order here at my local gamestop.

Oh btw, as a database guru in RL myself, if you care to hear it I have a suggestion for ordering on your site. Sense most if not all items are digital download and some like me like to have the box/cd etc.. they should just have a simple (check this box) to have a box version sent. ofcourse it would also have the pricing by said box, eh simple script to data relationship. Just a thought, would make it allot more clear what allows for retail box and not.

Going threw the listing of games, when I went to Sins, it showed only one version to buy. While on your site here for sins there are 3 version. Allot of un-organized relationships within the site. Makes it a confusing place and as a customer, reluctent to order from said site. Need a coder or web guru? let me know, currently working on a e-com for a company here in chicago, but always can find time for things I am fan of

Actually Kryo, you get fully charged right away(as I checked my cc account just now), which is fine I prefer it that way, but thnx I assume I will get a code once it is release day.

Many banks/CCcos place a 24-48 hour hold at the time of the order to make sure you can afford it. It should be released after that time, with the actual charge not taking place until the game comes out.
