Status: offline 		Thinking of finally picking this up before sale ends. Do I need to spend an extra 75%-odd to get the "Boxed + digital" version? I could not care less about a box or a DVD, I know the manual comes in PDF. What is this "printed, color manual", is that what it comes with? I have a boxed copy of WiF from 30+ years ago, is the same a the manual which came with that?

Oh, and if I do, is it going to be dispatched OK to UK without some nonsense like customs/charges?

Oh, I just noticed https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4616922 thread, talking about $30 shipping for "boxed edition". Is this what we are talking about? The checkout is offering me the "boxed" for like $15, does this not include some large amount of shipping/delivery that I'll also have to pay?

Don't know about the extra costs - but I am happy I have the printed manuals. Reads much nicer

Status: offline 		Is it possible for someone from Matrix or who knows to answer what "Upgrade to Boxed + digital edition" means in terms of printed manual (and delivery/tax charges if relevant), preferably soon before the sale expires?

I'm sorry if it's obvious to others, but I cannot find the matching information.

Many thanks.

For the boxed version shipping is likely extra but if you proceed along with the order process you should be given a price for shipping and if it is too steep, then you can bail out before completion.

Thank you! I did indeed have to go through the order process with the boxed to discover the shipping.

I don't mean to sound mean, but by the time the printed manual + shipment was more than the price I was paying for a game I may never load, I decided to manage with just the download & PDF!

Cheers
