phil stanbridge Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm definitely buying both titles - but I'm a little reluctant to fork out an additional $21 on postage. I'm in western Europe obviously. If I want to pre-order both titles there is no way to remove the S&H fees. I thought there was some S&H discount? Reference NATO and the new Af game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boche Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 same here, i was only gona get NATO for now, i only buy online versions of the games on BF because my budget is limited and am also reluctant to pay an extra 15 euros just to have a solid copy of the game sent to me. originaly NATO preorder was going to be 20 euros, but with the P&P it rised to 35, i would like a DW version only of the preorder 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm definitely buying both titles - but I'm a little reluctant to fork out an additional $21 on postage. I'm in western Europe obviously. If I want to pre-order both titles there is no way to remove the S&H fees. I thought there was some S&H discount? Yes, there is. If you were to buy both titles separately with the "mail delivery" or "download&mail" options, you would pay $20 ($10 if you're in the US) for each. So, at $21 you're saving $19 for S&H. Only NATO is on pre-order. Pre-orders are not available for "download only". It doesn't really make sense to offer pre-orders for that (you can't download any sooner than when it's available for download...), so pre-orders are always "download&mail". Afghanistan is not on pre-order. It's released. You can purchase it as "download only" right away. So what you should do, if you want to avoid the S&H, is to purchase Afghanistan now, and wait to purchase NATO later once it's out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 The prices for NATO will be: $25 for download only $25 plus S&H for mail only $35 plus S&H for download & mail (this is what the pre-order option buys you for $25 plus S&H; and you save the bulk of the S&H if you order Afghanistan&NATO in one because the second item only adds $1 to the base S&H) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drescher Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Just wanted to add that i had the same "problem" with the brits module(no preorder for download only) and was able to buy and download(with pretty much full speed) within minutes after the release was made public. So no worries, cant wait for NATO-forces! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zwobot Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Will there be a Marines + Brits + NATO bundle (mail delivery)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I want to have hard copies of both CM:A and NATO. If I preorder NATO and CM:A package, will I received the boxed hard copies of both games when NATO is shipped? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Will there be a Marines + Brits + NATO bundle (mail delivery)? Hey, that's a good question! And the answer is: yes. Once NATO is released, we will also offer a "Modules bundle" with all three modules. This will replace the Marines+Brits bundle available currently (aka, the Marines+Brits bundle will be discontinued). I want to have hard copies of both CM:A and NATO. If I preorder NATO and CM:A package, will I received the boxed hard copies of both games when NATO is shipped? Correct. "Pre-order" always includes both "download & mail delivery", and if you select "mail only" or "download & mail" for Afghanistan, you will get hardgoods for that, too, once NATO is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to wait the hour it'd take to download the CMA demo from a mirror site, so purchased the game and downloaded it in about 4 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Pre-orders are not available for "download only". It doesn't really make sense to offer pre-orders for that (you can't download any sooner than when it's available for download...), so pre-orders are always "download&mail".Ah thanks, that answers the question I wanted to ask . I'll wait for the release and save the shipping costs, I'm fine with the DL-only! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I hear more companies than just BFC are being caught in a bind as the market switches to primarily digital download. Up-front costs for setup that can't be spread over a large volume of mailings. Mimimum quantity printing runs that may greatly exceed the numbers needed. Back in 2000 if you sold 100,000 copies of CMBO (random number) that would mean 100,000 CDs, 100,000 cases and 100,000 printed manuals. In 2010 selling 100,000 copies of CM:Normandy would mean (?) number of printed manuals and (?) number of CDs. With efficiencies also come uncertainties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destraex1 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Moon, for a customer I think pre-order is sometimes about allocating funds and other times about ticking something you don't have to do later off your list. Its about not having to check the web all the time for release, its about getting that email that says your download is ready. So download as a pre-order even with no benefit would have sat well with me. my two cents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatoichi Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'm of the same opinion Destraex1. I guess this may mean extra admin for the team though, but I'd like to be able to pre-order the game regardless of whether it's digital or physical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
