Moon Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 It's finally here - our new digital delivery platform for bringing games directly to your computer via digital download! Now you can order, download and play Battlefront games literally within minutes. No shipping delays, no shipping cost. If you prefer the traditional delivery method by mail, or if you like to have a fully printed manual*, those options will remain available, too. In fact, each game is now available with three delivery options to choose from: - Digital Delivery only. - Mail Delivery only. - Both Digital and Mail Delivery. So if all you want is to download the newest release and immediately play, you can choose Digital Delivery only and save on the shipping cost. If you would like to play immediately, but still do not want to miss out on the fully printed manual and a backup CD, you can order the Digital & Mail Delivery option, and will be able to download and play right away… and will get the game CD plus the Manual in the mail a few days later. To celebrate the launch, Battlefront is offering a unique “30 days / 30% off” sale on all downloads**. For the next 30 days, starting today, all games ordered with the Digital Delivery only option, receive a special 30% discount off the regular retail price. If you ever wanted to own and play a Battlefront game but hesitated, now is THE opportunity to get it at a great price AND play within minutes. You can now order the all-time classic Combat Mission Beyond Overlord for as little as $14 (regular price $20), secure a copy of Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin (required for the upcoming Combat Mission Campaigns game) for only $24.50 (instead of $35), or check out what TacOps 4 , the official Army tactical training tool, is all about - for only $17.50 (instead of $25). Check out our products page for all available games and pricing options. This offer is valid for only 30 days starting today! * Some games ship with electronic manuals in pdf format ** Sale price available on all “Digital Delivery” orders except for new releases and pre-orders.

Haohmaru Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 You should mention on your front page that this does not include "new releases", as without stating that qualifier, your claim that there is a 30% discount on "all products" is giving a completely misleading message. About 6 months ago in EB games I saw CM:AK on sale for AUS $9.95, that translates approximately to US $7.50, so isn't it about time that the CM series gets a substantial price cut anyway? A pity that the price cut doesn't apply to SC2 as my interest was initially perked, but quickly stifled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoolD Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Yea, talk about bait and switch. Title says "on all" downloads!" After trying to figure out how to get the discount I went back and looked at the release to see if I missed a coupon code or something and realized that it said SC2 and DT did not count. Thanks, but I don't want the game that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Haohmaru, I posted in another forum that we do not have any influence on how retail shops price games, but if we had, you wouldn't see prices like you mentioned. Incidentally, this is one of the main reasons why we're relying on direct distribution through this website. Without it, creating games like CM would not be viable. So we do not feel like we have to adjust to the lowest price on the planet. We advertise that we make some of the best wargames around, not the cheapest, and we're thankful for everybody who supports us (but also understand those that prefer to buy from the budget bin, which is why you DO find our games in retail after some time). If you ask me, it's a win-win and you, as the customer, can choose. SkoolD, the thread title would get too long if I had to list all exceptions to the pricing, sorry.

SkoolD Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 SkoolD, the thread title would get too long if I had to list all exceptions to the pricing, sorry.Moon, I have to disagree. It wouldn't be that long. In fact I can prove it! I can imply an exception with adding no more than 1 extra letter than is already in the title. Digital Delivery Platform launched! 30% Discounts on Most Downloads! or Digital Delivery Platform launched! 30% Discounts on Some Downloads! I wish you guys all the best of luck. It is a nitch market and you guys are conquering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
