DLaurier Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Ok, So where can I buy the game? Do any stores carry this game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLM2 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 The website seemed to say you can only buy it on this website. I think we need a forum for noob questions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Here's the announcement page with the purchase link at the bottom. In the past BFC has teamed up with (mostly European) retailers. It might be quite a while before they decide to go that route wth CM:BN. http://www.battlefront.com/community/announcement.php?f=124&a=415 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Canuck Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Well, you can always check out the demo to see if it's to your liking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Going to a store to buy a PC game is pretty hit or miss anyway. Unless you are looking for a Blizzard game or The Sims its pretty much a toss-up whether they will have what you are looking for. Just get the digital + box option and you can be playing today with a physical copy in the mail. The download is pretty small, 1.3 GB or so, even if your connection sucks that really isn't too bad. I've downloaded far bigger over a 56K, way back when. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I thought everyone had easy access to plastic now-a-days. Everyone here can get pre-paid cards at nearly any major grocery store. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLaurier Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Do you have a local game store that might order it for you? There are two game stores. Neither can order anything. There are two electronics stores. Same deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a credit card in my life, and whenever I've ordered something it's always been either COD or purchase via money order. Certainly I would send a money order to Battlefront Co Inc. Yes I still use a rotary dial phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Sorry, no money orders or COD. Your payment options are credit/debit cards or Paypal. With Paypal you don't need to have a Paypal account if you have a credit/debit card (apparently not applicable in this case). So if you have a checking/bank account you could open up a Paypal account and link it to that (may take a couple of days to get it linked up). A Paypal account should open up a lot of purchasing opportunities for other things on the web since money orders and COD are basically not accepted by a lot of businesses on the web (too much potential fraud, especially for smaller ticket items). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcat Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 If you can do a money order to the UK I will happily order the game for you and you can download it and/or I can have have it delivered to your address. I'd hate to see a gamer deprived of this game. Send me a PM if you want to work something out. We boring old farts must stick together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Back when CMSF was their primary source of revenue I can only imagine that it irked BFC no end to see the Paradox labelled in-store version of the game being sold for chump change in the remainder bin. On the positive side, a lot of those 'no-profit' customers eventually showed up to purchase the modules and I expect a lot have bought CM:BN as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wego McPbem Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I understand why this is the situation but it does seem a bit of a shame. I discovered CMBO back in the day thanks to the european retail release, might never have heard of it otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLaurier Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 After consulting with the girlfreind, I has decided to give in and get a credit card. 26 years of telling credit card companys to go away... over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 No bank account and bank debit card? These days you're required to have plastic of some sort just to scratch yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaud Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 look on the bright side...you will never carry a balance and thus never pay interest or fees, so the card is a convenience paid for through the interest payments of those who do carry balances! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Marlow Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Get one that gives cash back (you can get 1% pretty easy these days), and as said, always pay full balance every month. If you use them wisely, credit cards are great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pay off your balance in full every month the card shouldn't cost you anything, other than what it costs to buy stuff that you couldn't buy because you didn't have a credit card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent years raging against it, and now find myself unable to avoid becoming part of it. Seriously, does your bank not offer a debit card? If you don't run an overdraft, on (a very laudable) principle, then a debit card is no worse than writing a cheque or yoinking some cash out the hole-in-the-wall. Apart from the fact that it opens up a whole new can-o'-worms, in the "Oooo, I could buy this now, that I couldn't before!" department. An alternative to a debit card would be a pre-paid credit card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
