Lock On: Flaming Cliffs Distribution Option Polling

This may sound stupid but is it going to be a ISO download, so we can burn to cd ourselves?

I would like to both download and get the CD sent. If a mailed CD becomes an option, would this be possible? Of course I would gladly pay the upgrade cost . . .

same here goes for both the cd and download. I would rather have the full cd and download it so I wouldnt have to wait for the cd. Also would like to know what the difference will be between the cd and the download.

Yes I too would like to know what the Dload option includes. If its an ISO that I can burn to cd then I wont need the cd sent as I can back it up in case of having to do a system format. If the dload cant be backed up then of course I would like a cd that I can reinstall later if need be.

More info plz Matt.

cd mailing

I have a crummy dial-up, so I am guessing d/load would be a nightmare for me. I would certainly be interested in CD. Would it be the same CD that is being sold in CIS?

I have friends in Moscow so as a last resort could get them to buy CIS CD version and post it to me, but of course then I have possible problems installing as I dont speak Russian...

Hi all.

Once I d/l it I can burn it to a cd and have it forever, right? If so then I do not need a cd option, just a fast transfer rate :lol:

I am glad that you have a Paypal option. Thanks, -KILSEK

sorry, but i cannot buy a product like this without a backup (a cd of some sorts). so ill wait until its sold in stores. (or some one can mail it to me)

Ditto, I would like both and would opt to use both.

this is the problem Wolf it will only be in RUSSIAN stores if you will wait to be released in USA stores you will wait forever

CD mailing or anything besides Paypal.

I would like a hard copy of the cd definately.

I want to have a VISA payment option.

I'm OK with paying through Paypal and then downloading it, and wouldn't spend the extra money to get a CD, but I think it'd be a great idea to have a real CD available for those with slower internet connections. And then there's a certain number of people who just want to hold an official CD, regardless of being able to download a copy. :) We simmers are nothing if not fanatical.

I think the Visa option is great too, in case people don't want to / don't trust / or just plain aren't able to use Paypal.

I am happy downloading it using paypal but like the others, i too like having an original cd. Call it an collectors item if you would.

Theres just something about it. A burnt cd with felt pen scrawled over it just isnt quite the same.

Thanks for all your work on this Matt. Appreciate you looking after our interests.

I would opt for a CD distribution since I consider sims like LOMAC as high quality collectables and its not respectable to have the download in a zip file somewhere comapred to a hard copy of a CD with the LO:FC printed on it officially from ED.

For those of you with CD burners that still want the CD, what is your primary motivation given that this option will be more expensive and you'll have to wait longer? Curious.

 

Thanks,

Matt

to feed the devs? devs need food or no patches right?

Ill take the dl, and preferabily pay by VISA. If its corrupted, I will be able to download it again, right?

VISA payment would be the best for myself... Paypal is a pain in the neck, and I don't trust them.

Well for me it all depends on how long it would take to ship the CD to somewhere like Australia. It also depends on whether the exported Flaming Cliffs CD will feature artwork printed on the actual disc and not just boring text (eg: FLAMING CLIFFS V1.1 INSTALL.EXE).

If it's gonna take 3 weeks to have the CD sent compared to a download that will take a night then I'd probably rather the D/L... So long as we can always access a copy should our file become corrupted or god forbid a blackout occurs during the download! This is my major concern. I don't know the process involved in paying up over the net THEN getting my software.

VISA would also be an option I would strongly consider.

Thankyou very much for keeping in touch with the masses Matt. :)

Matt,

Thanks for asking for input from the community!

My choices are:

VISA

and

CD

or

DOWNLOAD with ability to resume in middle of download and ability to burn to CD

I choose the download option but I will need to burn a cd because I reformat very often.
