Your opinion please

Hello, I am looking to purchase the game. Which do you prefer; Online Download or Physical Purchase? And to what extent is the game mod friendly?

I like the purchase for the box.

The game is very mod friendly. Check the mods forums at http://s7.invisionfree.com/SAIS_Forum/index.php?c=4

But what if you want a more eco-friendly version and you need to play the game RIGHT NOW?! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Buying the box is the only way to go, having the physical manual and cd is well worth the wait

I went for the download so as to not wait. Not having packaging to throw away is a bonus, and I'm not sure the paper manual is necessary either (unless it has a lot of stuff about modding).

My box was evidently opened at the US-Canada customs, and there was a sticky fingerprint on the CD. It's impossible to clean. I managed to copy the game installer to my hard disk, but parts of the CD (the game demos) is unreadable.

So yeah... don't trust the physical world, and go virtual!!!

I was initially unsure about the online download thing because I was unsure about how to burn an ISO to a CD, but I was able to extract the ISO with WinRAR without a problem. I really ought to back up the file though...

Let's just say I'm not feeling any sense of loss for not having a physical box et al. And as an environmentalist that makes me happy. :^)

I decided to choose the online download. This game is amazing. Though an alien race decided to invade hope.
