The reaction on the 'official' forums is quite positive. I won't have my 'original' copy for a week or so yet. Couldn't resist the 'free' option, though, so I'll have it soon. Then I can d/l the patch and have the good Version right from the start. Being forewarned that it's really a completely different game than the '4X'* we expect of the MOO series, I'll hopefully be able to approach it in the right frame of mind and learn how to play it.

* (I mean, even in respect to the '5X' marketting blurb. It's not '4X + something else' it's completely different from traditional 4X games)

Poke around on www.ina-community.com, the official Infogrames forums, provided they haven't reshuffled their website since they changed to Atari... I used to frequent there but ever since MOO3's release I haven't bothered... it would be too depressing

Ah, the price is slowly aproaching the real value of this "game".
Now anybody can get it for the "real value". Amazon just lowered the price to $18.00. Group it with something else you were already going to get (to get free shipping), spend $0.37 on your rebate form, and voila... you are compensated $1.63 for leasing out some shelf space to a poor, lonely, otherwise-unsold copy of MOO3.

So, how many copies do you have to order to pay for the shipping and handling?

Hang on - I think I mentioned something about that earlier in this thread - I did! I did!

Last night I dreamed that I met Rantz Hoseley and he offered me a job at Quicksilver... and while I acted elated to his face, I was considering turning down the position just because I didn't want to be associated with that company!

Two, but that's not gonna work. The rebate is only good for one copy per household. Not sure if somebody else could file the rebate off the other copy, as the proof of purchase has your name on it... *shrug*
