Game Pre-download now available at UBI

[Ark]

There are only 5 reasons to DL a game.

1. There are no stores by you that sell the game, and shipping to Sri Lanka is so expensive you'd have to whore your sister in order to pay for it.

2. So you can pay the same price for something you can't actually touch.

3. You are afraid of the public and the thought of being outside makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

4. You have light myopia so it's hard for you to go outside, and consequently, you work 12 hour night shifts.

5. The idea of limited downloads makes you feel "Extreme" and adds a sense of danger.

For once this may something for US. I've only seen this on the US site in $US. I did find not it on the UK or European sites.

Personally, I would drink acid before buying a restricted download of anything. I don't even want to think about the kind of copy protection hidden code they slip onto and into your PC. But, if one is in Shangri-la and has no other means of getting it....

1. Check (I dont have a sister, but brother will do in this case)
2. Check (Eww.... i wonder how many bacteries are living in a DVD disc)
3. Check (Looks out the window with chills going thru the spine)
4. Check (Hehe, that´s what they think!)
5. Check (Another option to add more realism, I download the game so that I have only one ticket left. Then, when I die in the game, I delete it)

Check

Well in my opinion it is a PITA constantly putting in CD's & DVD's to prove I own a game. My licensed copy of MS Office doesn't require me to do that when I use it or update it. I will probably buy the hard copy just to have it but the download is tempting.

I noticed that Direct 2 Drive is charging $49.95 US for their digital download of SH4. I'm sorry, but that price is ridiculous. That is the same price as buying the physical game in the US with game disk, 100 page printed manual, 1 hour historical dvd, and reference cards.

Totally with you on that one, though! It's definitely overpriced, and if I weren't getting it as a 2nd copy anyway (I don't need two manuals), I wouldn't go for it.

I decided to go this route!

Well, technically since I'm going to need two copies (one for my brother to go MP against him) - I'll get the download, then pick up a hard copy at a store a few days later. :p

Solves both having to wait AND having to miss out on an actual copy.
