Hi to all.
It's nice to hear of the extended features of SE 4. But as with all purchases from the USA to Europe (Germany in my case). They are very expansive and a little bit uncertain!!!

There are 3 big points on rebate and shipping related items.

1) Not all Online purchases reach the customer and it is a heck to locate, track and then get the item if it has been lost in shipping. If you get it at all !!! (It's not that uncommon)

2) The shipping cost !! SE 4 was the first game i
bought Online (no other way to get it)and after the customs opened the package it cost me around
USD 75,00. I had it ordered through chips and bits
as they had the lowest shipping costs.

3)not everyone has a credit card or is willing to
order with the card on the internet. in my case i order usually through friends. and therefore there is no direct proof i ordered the game.

as of this i ask shrapnell to think of a way to:

a) consider the outside of usa purchases in their
offer on rebate. i think the 12,00 usd option
on a credit card will be better for many
europeans than a check.

b) is there any other way to not !! sent the
original cd to get a rebate, as i do not want
to lose it if the shipping is lost.

shrapnell can set up a thread to get information
on shipping time, end cost for customer etc.
for overseas purchases just to get a feeling for the problem.

as there may be probably no way for me to get a rebate i would very much like more detailed
information on the added items.
will this be possible ?? (for example some excerpts from the new manual would be very nice,
more details on new graphics, capabilities)
will the pdf file be downloadable also ?
hopefully nobody will be bored to death by now.
