We have only 2 copies left.


Are you going to be able to order the DVD case edition like was purchased at Origins?


Yes, from august on. We will keep you updated on this. Waiting for Digital River to staret this service.



so doesn't that mean Digital Download first (later this week hopefully) and a physical product for purchase in August?

So I will have much time play If only my luck would hold out and they get it up in time

You will be able to also get a physical product from this week on (once WITP is in our store). ONly those that also want it in a box should wait untill we announce that service to be available.

Any chance of this week ordering the digital download & preordering a box copy at the same time (with a combined price)?

Marc -

I presume the "physical product" is a CD in some sort of protective case.

What else comes with the "box" version? Should I really bother to wait? (I've been updating my sound drivers all evening in anticipation... )

Heh! Good thing we're keeping it "light" regarding the near rampant prodding for this game. Hats off to Matrix for ya patience gents... It's tough to wait, but it must be equally tough knowing you have $$'s out here just WAITING to be spent on ya'll.

Actually I thought I might pass this title up because I never grasped the concept of UV, but all this buzz over WITP has got me to re-examine it. Now I am very intrigued.

Stupid Flanders probably has it already

No, we´re not interested in money, we prefer to sit on the couch and pick our noses

We worked almost 24/7 the last two weeks to make WITP available for promotion at Origins. Please let us rest a day and then we will get back to work 24/7, okay?

But all things considered, the planets are aligning in my favor... the wife is leaving Friday, going out of town for 10 days, I have tons of vacation time I need to burn up... and if I'm really lucky, I may get layed off in July and I'll have an "extended" vacation (while I look for a new job) to play WitP. Heheh.... never mind little details like eating or paying the electric bill...

Look, if it'll help get the game to me sooner, I'll gladly come down there and pick your noses for you! And rest for you, too!

Nah, just kidding, take your time.

I can remember when I worked retail a lady brought in a Commodore 64 that she had purchased at Christmas time. It was now October or November of the last year. (And she also bought one of the last ones we carried. The end of an era). It didn't work and she wanted a replacement since we had a 30 day return policy. She said that although she purchased it almost a year before, she had only tried to use it w/i 30 days so the return policy was still in effect. She also admitted that it had been stored in her attic (Pennsylvania winter and summer, etc). When my manager asked her if he was supposed to get into the back and build her a new one, she said very sincerely, "yes." Be careful what you ask.
