I'm in england and i ordered it from shrapnel games, it is a bit of a high price but believe me it's worth it, i've played it evereyday since i got it at christmas, but i do recommend you try the demo first as �40 is a lot of money if you dislike it (It could happen

)

I couldn't get strtegic plus's Online shop to order me seiv, so i got it from shrapnel games, it's at the same price, The high price at strategic plus is because they have to ship it from america i think

the price of the full Version is well worth the investmate IMHO. I have had the full game since its released and was one of the few who pre-ordered it months in advance. I have never been dissappointed by the game. Board at times yes, but never dissappointed.

No, I think it is simply because strategic plus is a middleman and need a slice too

Shrapnel ships from US, I received my from there at least. Fortunately, there is no VAT at customs, I was afraid I would pay even more

Hmm, the price is definitely a bit too high.

However, I'll get the demo and try it out. If it is as good people say it is, it might be worth it

Now I just have to find a good tutorial...

Don't let the price put you off, it's really a great game and the game will probably be on your computer longer than any other you have

It's also good for self esteem, theres nothing like sneaking a cloacked star destroyer into an enemies homeworld system after a bad day, ahh it's like a kodak moment!

Think of the cost this way.
What will be the price per hour of enjoyment compared to going to the moives?

There is the Newbie FAQ that is stickied at the top of this forum. There is also this site: SE4 Strategy and Tactics. And, there is the Encyclopedia Malfadorica.
