Default Re: Retail Box vs. Digital Download

I've always ordered a pre download and then went out the day of the downtime to buy the expansion locally. I have two accounts but in the past they did screw people who bought it online. Seems this time they aren't doing that and giving everyone who pre-orders a house pet instead of just the retail box. Looking online the only difference is the shiny coin and the media... granted the media will save a few hours of download time but it I hope to GOD this time they release a DVD version... EOF was 9 fucking cds. I can't find online though if it is CDs or DVDs this time.. Seriously who the hell doesn't have a DVD reader in their PC these days?

EoF was two DVD's if I recall. I only have three boxes sitting in my closet. It might be your chosen retailer who is fucking it up for you.

EoF didn't give a coin, will RoK for sure?

I don't think there's a mention of a coin anywhere for this one.

And yes -- DVDs.

if you ever have to reinstall the game the all in one packages are a major benefit.

You bastards had better give me another coin.

I don't do anything with it, but I want my coin damn it. Also, I need another map, too. Don't bother with the cloth ones. Smed, it is bad enough that you are Yuyoy, but you are not giving me another coin!?

Unforgivable!

Idk why anyone would suffer the retail ordeal again, anyone remember EoF and the 3 days (time = /sarcasam) it took to download because of the bottleneck on the servers? Even those who purchased the Dvd's had to patch for hours. Also there were many people who Pre-Ordered EoF who downloaded the files pre-release that were forced to sit through hours of patches. Digital Download was always the fastest way to get the game, and now you are getting the same thing from the DD as the retail copy so why not just purchase the DD.

For those who want a backup just get a Dvd Rw drive for about 20 bux and back it up. Paying for a box set is almost retarded where i live considering the stores mark the prices up to 60usd for any new game, expansion or not.

I think its stupid as well. I own 1 regular copy, one DoF, then I DD KoS, and I own 2 copies of EoF, and with RoK, I'll own 2 more copies of the original game. That's 5 total copies for me. Its stupid and redundant, and they should offer an expansion only copy for $10 less than the all in one.
