I just ordered it.
BTW, for anybody reading this thread and being inzerested in HPS and living not in North America, but Europe:

Here you can get the games from france, europe. If you consider shipping costs and custom duty, you probbaly get a slightly cheaper ride with this shop, compared to NWS. Also, NWS listed shipping options on a separate info site, but when trying to place an order, via paypal, paypal procedure was launched without me being given a choice for shipping options, nor game price and shipping costs listed on the paypal bill in advance, before you confirm transaction. read again: they wanted me to file a general
cheque blanche without listing shipping, shipping costs. If I would have pressed the confirm button, I would have had no clue how much money they actually sack in from my banking account! This is not how it should be.
Paypal via that French shop now did things like they should be: listing all costs
in advance on a bill by paypal. Also, since it is inside the EU zone, I think there is no bad surprise on delivery regarding custom duty. at least I never had to pay customs when ordering from British Amazon, and a shop in Holland.
Anyhow, looking forward to it. Now i will check if the manual can be gotten via download somewhere. I put some hope into this game indeed - can't wait!
