Aaaaahh that sucks.
But you are in a better position then I am.
I (voluntary) have to wait for the day to get the UBI chain removed (and that will take a while (I'm afraid).

But Enigma, that day may never come? And I wouldn't want any subsim fan to miss out on what already looks to be the greatest subsim of all-time.

Thanks for taking the plunge to test it for the rest of us. We'll put you in for a commendation. I pre-ordered thru Amazon, but if a digital download version is released before that ships, I'm jumping ship.

Lol, Neal released me from the Brig this very morning after a month in Solitary. Imagine receiving a Commendation on the same day ? That would be some turnaround

Well, you have to keep in mind, I'm just the guy who scrubs out the toilets, so my recommendation doesn't go very far.

Did you get to download the digital version yet?

What sort of files did you receive from there, can you install the game from these files or are the "activation key" somehow related to the install/setup?

Thanks for any answers you might provide.

All he got was a note telling him to come back for his download in a few days

No e-mail link for Download as yet. As it's Sunday tomorrow, I don't hold much hope. When some people have it from a Computer store already, I don't see an advantage to paying Full-Price (£34.99) to pre-order the game when you'll be at the back of the line. Ubisoft have dropped the ball in this respect in my opinion. The 'finished' game must've been in the Distributers hands for a while now in order to produce all the DVDs.

Is this the Gold Version?
Does anyone knows if the one in Ubi page is the Gold version and it is a download one?

Can anyone confirm which would be the earliest download possible here in Europe?
