Yes, as I stated I obviously missed this. My point being as I had bought many other hard goods from you guys and received a nice dvd case and manual I did not expect this release to be any different. My fault.
An extra $30 for something I could have burned onto a cd myself with the same result is the reason I am a bit peeved.

I reieved my "boxed" copy today and (to be honest) I have to say I'm a little bit disappointed.
No nice DVD box, Only a slimline jewel case with no cover at all. Only the jewel case and the CD.

Haven't received my boxed copy yet but if it is only a cd in a jewel case then I am going to be so disapointed especially after the Marines module came in a DVD case with nice cover and a printed manual. This was the only reason I ordered a hard copy.
I could have burned the download onto a cd and saved $10 and another $20 :eek: shipping. Every other game I have bought from Battlefront has been worth it but if this is as described then I feel I have paid way over the odds.
Maybe I missed this info somewhere but expected the same as before.
Ah well lesson learned, wait until I know what is involved. Could well be my last purchase.

Yes there is a facility to print the manual yourself but the only reason I bought a hard copy as well as the download is that I thought that the British Module was going to be the same quality as the Marines Module. Again my fault.
It is the extra cost incurred for no real gain that is annoying. I wouldn't have paid the extra $30 if I had fully known what I was getting. Yet again, my fault. Too eager to receive the game and the image is misleading. Clever marketing strategy? How many people thought they would receive a nice dvd style case and manual ala Marines?
Having posted items to Europe I know it does not cost $20 to post a cd in a jewel case. I could and have accepted the high postage as I have always thought the goods received to be worth the investment.
The add on is good but not worth the $55 I have paid in total.
Anyway, I'll be more careful in the future.
