Default I'm thinkin to buy Steel Beast Pro PE

I just couldn't resist Steel Beast Pro PE. I just can't help with waiting for Steel Beast 2 which is never coming.

Does the price of US$125.00 inclusive of shipping as I reside in Jakarta. And there's the online payment problem. I don't have credit card but i think i can use my mom's(i'll pay her in cash in return) but I don't think there's any online seller which allow transaction with Indoensian based credit card due to online credit card fraud which has become a plague here.

Is there some way to get around online payment? If $125 is inclusive with shipping i think i'll buy Steel Beast Pro PE. Anyone has any suggestion? Though buying Steel Beast Pro might postpone me from buying an airbrush and a compressor for my modelling kit hobby. I guess i'm a tank maniac. Been playing Steel Beast 1 for some time now. With my new rig, it shows graphical corruption with the framed text but not when i go into gunner/commander position.

The only thing i don't like about Steel Beast Pro PE is that it doesn't have older Russian/US tank such as M47, M48, M60, T-55, T-62, T-64 and the modern Lecrec and Merkava...


As i don't have broadband connection i would prefer to buy the most recent Steel Beast Pro PE so i don't need to bother with huge patches. Any idea on this? It's very difficult to find things that i really want here even when i have the money to spend. Guess being called developing country does have its...drawback

Hold out, help on it's way.

Check the Steel Beast Sticky on top of this forum list. There is a list of patches, but you will get a recent version of CD anyway, so the early steps you can skip.

For any questions on details of the sim, and why these details are like they are, I refer to my own review of the release version in early spring last year. I also linked an interview with the developer which, amongst others, explain the price, and the future of the sim. Both links to be found in the ressources sticky-thread.

I live in Germany, delivery was within one week. I was not charged any additional taxes. 125$ translated into 97 Euros back then, and that included shipping.

Indonesian credit cards - I'll ask. Maybe Ssnake knows that.

Or better: why don't you ask yourself -> http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/...isplay.php?f=6 Friendly forum that is - they do not bite (they just don't hesitate to shoot your tank from behind, if possible).

It's worth it, plain and simple. And no, no game package it is.
