Hyazinth von Strachwitz Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Ordered my full version for 44,99 Euro on german Amazon.de last week..... got it yesterday. Guess what happened.. right, today it comes for 34,99!!! Basically I am willing to pay that for Huberts good work, but couldn`t they have done a bit earlier? Pls don`t get me wrong.. I think it deserves to be a full price product, but everyone who bought at 44,99 Euro now feels like getting a payload in the brown saloon.

StefMan Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 In your case you're probably right. But if you had received the game at the earliest possible delivery date (around 10th of April in Germany) I'd say two weeks of play ist worth 10 Euros. I had ordered one copy full price for my personal use a.s.a.p. and another copy at reduced price that I've just received today to get a local friend to join me h2h. Btw a question regarding the german version: Will it be patched to run without the cd in the drive? I thought I read somewhere that SC2 wouldn't require the cd to play (just as SC1).

Moon Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The Battlefront version does not require the CD, but that does not apply to the german version. Likewise, the english version will remain at $45 (but then that's basically EUR 36 or something like that due to the crappy exchange rate).

Hyazinth von Strachwitz Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Basically I don`t mind paying good money for good games, but the timing was sh!t... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefMan Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Will there be ONE patch for both german and english versions or SEPERATE patches for the localized versions? If it is going to be one patch for all versions, is there any chance to fix the "cd issue"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Most likely there will have to be separate patches for each language version. There will be no patch to fix the "cd issue". Our German distributor is using the cd check as his form of copy protection. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Wagner Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 One of the advantages of using Digital Download as the means of purchase is that you have no worry about CD checks...just intall your licence and you are good to go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Enough crying, the game is great! Locking this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Sorry, just to clarify: buyers of the german version don`t get any patches because the german distributor thinks we are to stupid to use a CD Copy programm? Well done...

Moon Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hyazinth, I don't quite get what you mean, but of course there will be patches for the German version. You will just require to have the CD in drive when you start the game, that's all. Most games I know of work in this way. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyazinth von Strachwitz Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ahhhh..... now I understand it... maybe it gets too obvious that english isn`t my mother tongue. My interpretation of the sentence "There will be no patch to fix the "cd issue"." was completely wrong... sorry. I think you can delete the last 3 posts.
