Default Just bought SH4 today

Should I take it back and wait a few weeks for a SH4 complete game to arrive in at local retail store with (Game + Uboat expansion)?

Or is the U-Boat expansion pack online only?

I think it's cheapest, online. I haven't got it, myself. The stock game will keep you pleased for a very, very long time. Oh! I seem to recall there will be a 26 dollar bundle w/both items, though don't quote me on that.

I don't think a bundled box set has even been announced yet (at least for the USA). If you wanna play SH4 I'd say go ahead and do play what you bought.

Enjoy SH4, it's great once patched up and modded!

Good for ya! But you may have to give up showering, eating, sleeping, human contacts when playing SH4. Gee, I wonder why the folks don't like visiting me anymore?:rotfl:

I doubt that a retail will have it, but as mentioned by other you can by SH4 retail and get loads of fun out of that alone.
Else you will probably need to buy it using the Direct2Drive link mentioned

Keep the hard copy you bought and download the add on. There are LOTS of good reasons for having a disc version instead of the download version.

Not having to activate when you reinstall is one of them
