Shock Force on sale for £3 on ebuyer!

[DanielP]

Just bought my copy of the game from ebuyer - about £3.60, postage free. Its the Paradox version, so if anyone has the download copy it might be worth picking it up for the paper manual that comes with it.

I'm chuffed to bits! Now if only they did the addons, too ...

They won't, ever, and the reason is in your thread title

For what it's worth, I spotted CM:SF on the ebuyer site as I was googling around for something else and thought "Why the hell not?".

I'd not bought CM:SF when it came out after having a pile of trouble with the demo on my old PC but for £3.90 I thought it was worth a punt.

Bought it, installed it, got it working (once I realised that the reason it ran like a pregnant cow was my graphics card not liking it at above 1024x768) and loved it.

Resulting in my buying both the modules from battlefront.com the very next day.

So, overall I reckon it's worked out okay for all concerned - Battlefront probably wouldn't've got a sale from me were it not for Paradox's 'loss leader' pricing and I would have missed out on a game that has me well and truly hooked.

At the current exchange rates, the USMC and Brit bundle cost me £22, which is less than even a second flight game in the shops these days and I know that the bulk of that cash is going to the pockets of the guys who made it.

I am sure I had a more clearly defined point to make here, but anyway... I think you get where I'm going.

Now... if only I didn't actually SUCK at commanding troops

Interesting I did a review of SF for ebuyer because I couldn't believe how cheap it was. I didn't realise Paradox didn't do the addons although it's still worth a punt at £3 what a bargain!
