We expect the physical versions will show up fairly soon, so we're not planning an "upgrade" offer - as usual, just sit tight if what you really want is the boxed version and we'll announce as soon as it's available.

This makes the fourth game I'll be waiting to purchase as a box/download. Matrix, alot of us are waiting. Just the option, physical shipping can come later if printing time is an issue.

The reason we don't just activate those versions now is that based on past experience, a lot of customers get upset if they are allowed to order boxed copies and those copies aren't shipped out within a week of them placing that order. Not everyone reads the forums...

As opposed to the small numbers of us who are sitting around chewing our fingernails to the bone praying for your printer to get his problems fixed ...... I'd really hoped to be playing the game already and all I really want is the box on the shelf as a backup and I didn't / don't want to pay extra. I know ... Breathing .......... At least I have work to do !

Thanks Tony !! Of course I could but I just really LIKE the look of the box in the dust that I know will fire up my game when my hard drive copy has vanished in the smoke of digital disaster. that HAS happened more than once. I do have several digital copies of other things (Like HC97, my resume, my will etc) buried in a Safe Deposit box in case of Real disasters as well but so far (crosses fingers, knees, ankles, eyes, toes and every other appendage he can get to cross) that hasn't happened.

Status: offline 		Yeah, I'd have liked the boxed version, probably would have bought DD and boxed if the box was up at release, but yeah, the way I suggested is a slightly less "pretty" way to do it.

Matrix manuals are in colour, and very good quality.
