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.

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

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!

Can we send it back for a refund if we don't like it ? I can do that at the shops and I believe in the EU there is a time period in which a buyer can return goods purchased online for an instant refund without any need for a reason - so does this also apply here ?
