Re: Buying
The only downloads are the free edition, and patches.
The CD option is via mail order - the physical CD and (paper) introductory user guide is part of this boxed set.
I have no idea what HM C&E will do - Last thing I bought direct from the US a while back (before 2000) was about £200, value was displayed on the packing by the US co, and there was a surcharge to pay up front. The box had not been opened. They may only surcharge expensive items (VAT I think it was?).
(My playtester copy of SP3 was shipped direct to me by SSI, but was I think listed as "nil" value, back in about 98 or so, came direct via UPS to my work address at the time with no interference from C&E.)
Cheers
Andy
