Seeing Pearl Harbor always has the effect of turning me into a real diehard Allied Fanboy.

Have you ever been to Kure or Yokosuka?

Tokyo bay also doesn�t look lousy.

I've been stationed at both Yokosuka and Pearl; There is no substitute for riding into Pearl and seeing Pearl Ridge and Pearl City in the backround behind Ford Island.

May be.... I'm going to visit Pearl Harbor next summer... then I'll be able to compare...

I have to go off, with the wife, for a long weekend at Santa Fe. Her actual words were: "You are not taking your laptop to Santa Fe". Answer "Yes dear"

So, It better be here by wednesday!. I have to work a 36 hr shift on thursday, so I have much of the night to play!

Hopefully it will be here by then, or i honestly wont understand what they are doing

They already have several titles available for DD, so its not like they have to setup a new relationship with a download service. Even uploading the durn image file by 56k modem, it would have been done by now...lol (we know is that its smaller than 512 MB's). Once transferred to a site with a better connection (and Digital River as i have understood is the provider of the service), they should be able to spread it from there to...well..anywhere they want within minutes, as Digital River has to have a connection strong enough to support a number of people downloading simultaniously. Spreading it to 100 sites simultaniously should be a walk in the park, only slowed down by how fast the operator managed to type in commands

Then setting up the practical download / payment thingies, and off you go. Since they already have a number of titles for DD, i would have thought it a rather small matter to be honest. I cant think of why it will take long unless we are talking one person companies in combination with fax / snail mail correspondance

Well those "thingy's" take some time. It is NOT a trivial process and they have to follow DR's process to get it done. It is still a fairly short thing, but it will take a few days, I'm sure. And it would nice to know that they've downloaded and installed the game, internally, several dozen times or so, before they make it available tot he rest of us. I want a good Out-Of-Box-Experience, if I can.

No, not yet. My work sometimes takes me to Nagoya, to the MHI plant there, where
my company, MHI and the JDA are codeveloping Japans' F-2

. I am often doing

doubletakes

there at Komaki Airbase seeing the F-15Js and other aircraft with the famous red Meatballs, that we all know about from history and our passion with these games. Never have seen Kure or Yokosuka but if it is impressive (as Pearl Harbor) I would like to

. Have seen Tokyo Bay though from about 5-10k feet as I leave or approach Narita.

Narita?!? I�ve spent 3 months sitting in Radisson hotel over there, accompanied by one stupid lady and several tons of legal papers� you have a better job I must say�

well I doubt Yokosuka and Kure look as impressive as PH, but if you�re interested in Pacific war history you won�t be disappointed�

It is getting to be very hard to concentrate at work.
I see all these japanese ships swarming on my bases.
I see these torpedoes falling.
AAAAARGHHH!

If the DD doesn't come out soon, I shall need some professional help

If I am given the opportunity to travel to Japan again, I am going to look those places up.
There is a small museum at the MHI plant at Komaki. It has a restored A6M?, that was found on Yap in tiny rusty pieces. They also have what appears to be a prototype of that WW2 German jet/rocket plane that used hydrogen peroxide for fuel, dropped its wheels upon takeoff and periodically just blew up sitting there. J8M1 something. Also while there, I read where they had rediscovered some WW2 Japanese submarines near Nagasaki, which had been deliberately sunk post WW2 to keep the technology out of Soviet hands. One of the Subs listed was I-58, the sinker of the Indianapolis.
