Please Advise me.... esp directed to those in UK

from Sins Forums
Hi

I have been considering buying this game for a while now and although slightly annoyed by lack of publisher and availability of game in UK, I was tempted to order direct from stardock....

Has anyone ordered this from the UK here and did you get the game sent to you in reasonable time with no difficulty??? I would prob try and use paypal for first time and was wondering if you had to pay currency conversion fees or some sort of custom tax...

This is a noob question I know but I have never used paypal and never bought anything from america.

Am I just being too cautious...

Finally.... was the game worth it :)?

Not sure about paypal fee or how fast the delivery is but I just thought I'd let you know that if you buy from Stardock Online you can download a digital copy of the game while waiting for your hard copy to get to you.

Yeah definately, i pre-ordered about a week before realease, but i got the digital download and CE version, i'm not sure how the hard copy will be, but the download servers are pretty fast so you can still play while you wait anyway, i mean my net is slow as anything normally, and didn't take me long to download. And i've fallen in love with the game i must admit, normally games that take too long to get started, supreme commander for one, i get bored with, but with this i don't, despite the somewhat slow pace of the game.

And i dunno about currency fees, but even if you do, it'll still be about same price of not slightly cheaper than buying it in a store, espeically with the exchange rates being quite strong at the moment :).

Great thanks for replies...

I am an avid Civilisation 1,2,3,4, Civnet, Alpha Centauri, Rome and Medieval 2 Total war fan.... been waiting for something similar in quality in years and hoped also for a quality Start Trek RTS but neither seemed to come to light.

For a type of gamer who likes the above.... would this game fit the bill?

ALSO:
Why does the online store not say collectors edition anymore.. but instead looks like the standard retail edition for the same price as they were listing the collectors edition for???????
