I thought buying a boxed version used to be + £5.00 not £8.00 and yet I can't see any reference to an increase. Which with two games at 2 x £8.00 (-30%)+ postage put my bill up more than I expected.

Forgive me that does actually seem quite a bit for a DVD box, a burnt DVD-R and a label as after all these two games don't come with printed manuals. If you were guaranteed a printed manual every time I would actaully pay a little bit more than £8.00 - a perfect bound book as Matrix produces can't be cheap to produce - but just for a disc is I feel quite a lot.

Couldn't there be a two tier additional cost for a boxed version. Or even better the guarantee you would always get a printed manual.

Don't flame me - thanks for the Easter discount - but as I say I was taken by surprise.

Yeah, but order it over sea seem to get bumped even more I think. The cost of shipping isn't cheap either.

Correct. The price is always set in USD and the box editions cost +$10 or +$15. We aren't charging more.
