Maybe I am wrong... but I think you can "upgrade" your order.
Just ask the Stardock support for it.

You can, for a small material + shipping fee :P

Now, when you say "a techtree poster" does that mean all the trees from all three races?

I believe in a previous thread orders outside the continental US and Europe would ship in April.

A) GalacticaCAG, don't go ballistic so easily! You see...
B) SD ships worldwide in February, but their international partners will probably release to retail later on. So people who order through SDC are fine, they get it in a month or so.

BTW did music change in finale version. I put my hands on Beta 3 and music sometimes didn't fit well in the action context. On some tracks I have feeling that I'm watching a TV Show for 3-5 years old kids.

P.S.

I've preodred the game but unfortunately too late to enter into beta.

Apparently there is MORE music in the final version, if I recall they said over 3 hours worth.

Yes - double-sided in full color. ;)

There's a lot more music in the final game, and based on what the system reports, many of the audio tracks have been updated regardless.

The game will ship out on February 4th. If you're outside North America, I would expect as long as 4-6 weeks for delivery of your retail box.

I was just messing with you. :) It should arrive shortly.

However, when it shows up, the box will be torn and it will have been obviously caught in some sort of down pour. :)

You forgot to mention the DVD broken into 5 pieces.

sorry to be an idiot but I am confused. If I ordered download only (was only way to get into beta at the time iirc) can I still get all the shiny stuff by paying a bit extra? If so who do I pay and how much will it be?
Reply #23 from Sins Forums Top
We don't have the exact info yet. We know we'll be able to do it (I also got download-only but plan on upgrading), but we'll get the finalized details closer to the shipping date ;)

Thats impossibe..... Sins of a solar empire cannot be destroyed....its not possible....if the disk breaks, its melds back together again, the cardboard is immune to water and weathering. This game was built to last, its too perfect to be mortal....

@Yarlen - I hope you guys are going to send us [the serious beta testers] an autographed edition with a picture of the development team to boot.
