i cant wait for the release day

Is your substore still dealing through Amazon.com?

If so, I am sorry Neal, not going to order it through your site. I have had too many bad issues with Amazon. :damn: However, when I do buy it, I will make another nice donation. Will that be ok?

yep, theres always some way to find what you want if you look hard enough.

but i dont like downloads at all, if you knew all the stories i have heard about one time or limited number activation codes and corrupted downloads that customer service doesnt want to let you redownload or they tell you to buy another activation code for it, at full price lol.

well to each his own but i wouldnt recommend it, even if your smart enough copy it to disk so you dont lose the download, there are many stories of registrations that cant be reused even thou no mention was made about one time or limited number activation code.

is download version simple and easy? yes

is it convienient? yes

have i bought download only games before? yes

but its also taking a big risk, if you have ever been unfortunate enough to have had a purchased download get interupted before its complete then you will find they treat you like your trying to steal a second copy of the game from them so you better know who your buying it from and check for any complaints of reactivation issues with other customers first.

neal may not get back to you right away but i think its safe to say the answers to your questions are yes and yes

subsim store goes through amazon and as long as subsim gets a little help thats all neal cares about so it wont hurt his feelings if you dont like amazon.

i personally never had any problems with buying direct from the amazon store but some individuals selling there may be shady just like at any site so you just need to be carefull.

ebay is a con mans heaven IMO but i havent had any bad experiences with amazon so far.

Sure, thanks.:shucks:

Have you checked out the Steam content delivery service? No risk as long as they dont go broke. Hehe.

make a date for sh5
 

amazon uk have this game set for sale on march the 5th:D
i have found over the years that they pretty much get their dates correct.
mine is ordered:yeah:

Did you order through Subsim's Amazon link?

Do we know yet if there will be a deluxe edition like there was with SH4? That's what I'm waiting to find out. Lack of a listing on amazon or other online game stores by now would perhaps suggest not, but still...

And with a 33% discount off the price. :o

+ free delivery :hmmm:

Gets one wondering who the confident parties are :DL

not going to pre-order and if it's not better then SH3 not going to buy it also. waiting for the *public* reviews. learned my lesson with silent hunter 4.

Can I pre-order it for FREE and then pay for it once i've finished beta testing it ?

Will I get all the patches for free if I buy it (unlike SH4 where we had to, and still have to, pay for the latest patch ?

I'll be ordering it as soon as my finances allow. And like SH3 I'll likely have the game long before I can afford a computer that will run it.

As for the above comments, I don't feel "burned" by SH4 at all. Some areas could be improved, sure, but overall it's an improvement. And I didn't pay for the last patch either - I payed for the U-boat add-on, and the chance to play a German career with the wonderful OM mod. Five years ago SH3 was also considered a "burn". The attacks were every bit as bad as the ones on SH4, just in case anyone has forgotten.

So I'll preorder SH5, hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and take what I get with a sense of humor. The price of the game is less than the price of a quality family dinner or night at the movies for four, and will last a lot longer. In fact, the joy of bitching about it will probably be worth the price all by itself. Now, that's entertainment!

:yeah:
