Questions about preordering
 

I am realy interested in preordring but if an when ubisoft annouces a collecters addition we could all be sunk.

and if ubisoft annouces a backlog and long wait due to high demand, you could also be sunk if you dont preorder so....

it all depends on how bad you want it or if you can wait

I would defintely not preorder until 2 weeks before the game is about to be released.

Then give serious consideration to doing it via SS.....support the community http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Maybe wishful thinking on my part, but really hope for a collecters edition maybe, a special subsim edition for us loyal fans.

If they release a collectors edition later on I'll just follow the same strategy I did with SHIV: get both. :up:

That's right Neal! I don't think you support SubSim enough!:rotfl2:

I there would be a collector's edition to be released and it would be possible to get it via Subsim I'll do so.

i like that idea but you may not see that for a while, maybe a year even

Well, we got a projected recommended system, but since mine isn't up to that I gotta see the actual minimum system specs before I can pre order anything. What I got now;

OS: Windows XP Media (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Model: Dell DXP051
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2046MB RAM
DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Video: Radeon X550 256.0 MB
ATI Driver Version: 6.14.0010.6925

Sound: SigmaTel Audio
sthda.sys Driver Version: 5.10.4823.0000 (English)

Runs SH IV pretty good if I disable volumetric fog, but I don't know if it will run SH V at all.

i think you will likely have really slow fps at times with that 256mb video card but i think it will be able to run the game because i dont expect any really big requirements for sh5 so that it doesnt require major upgrades

Mods can you check out this thread:

I am wondering if it is allowed to discuss alternatives regarding ordering of SH5. There is also a thread here about UK Amazon having a preorder offer.

Thanks!

it was already closed by the modderator reallydeadpoet on 12/22/09 so its already settled and he explained the rules at that time as well.

its one thing to point out a website or link to one in response to a posted request and we look the other way with that sort of info being given out but you shouldnt freely advertise such info if its not requested or do any advertising to go other places because it hurts subsim if they dont get the small amount of revenue they do get from sales linked through this sites store.

Or a person could buy it through Digital Dowload.....since we have the internet in 2010 and all. lol :D

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:
