... I'd advise you NOT to get it off the internet.

Although you could likely find the game at various warez sites, downloading it is not an acceptable course of action.

You could always try the demo.....

Doesn't Shrapnel offer a UPS Next-day shipping option? I got my copy in THREE DAYS even though I didn't specify anything but normal shipping. So, the only thing making you wait is not ordering.

Guys, I think you maybe misunderstood him. I did at first as well. I don't thiknk he wants to download it from the internet. By "off the internet" I think he is asking if it available somewhere other than ordering it Online. Liek at a store he can walk into and pay for and take it home.

Unfortunately Shrapnel has not been able to get a deal with a software store that doesn't take an exorbitant amount of the margins.

Understood Geo: I was merely poking a bit at my fellow Richmonder (Midlothian is a suburb). java: ain't no place in Richmond that I know of....though Shrapnel is good about getting packages out..though I guess you know that since ya have SEIV "plain"...

I saw some comments here about the wait suggesting that it might be out of stock. I searched the stores in Seattle, Bellevue, a couple of malls but to no avail. So I bought mine by calling Chips N Bits and paid for 2nd day air to get it ASAP. Now it has been two weeks and I am deep into this great experience.

I wasn't suggesting d/l it as a warez copy.

I was wishing you could pay Online and d/l at least the main program Online and get the thing in the mail later.

I mean the demo has got to be basically the whole program right?? So why not just have a key or something that unlocks the demo once you've paid for it Online...

Well, so Cary is only 3 hours away huh??

hmmmm,
