Well I'm not a great one for looking at a manual unless I am stumped over something

The manual is pretty standard. Specs, explanation of how things work etc. Being a SE veteran most of it is just stuff I know seeing as how SE5, albeit improved, is basically the same as SE4 with a few changes. 77 pgs BW, pretty standard.

Now the PDF manual. Wow. I only just checked as you asked but it is almost 300 pages. Starts out as the manual but then has colour pictures of all the components, facilities, ships, technology, races etc.

Well, it's not out yet in Canada. Over the last couple of days, I went to several different stores that sell games but nobody had it. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

It will be out monday, but I doubt many stores will actually carry it. Ordering from EB games or Gamestop is your best shot of getting the full version early.

I just hope the patch gets released soon since the demo is bug and CTD ridden....

Well,

Don't hold your breath for today (Monday) either.

I just received a call from my EB games where I pre-ordered SEV, and they told me that while it was supposed to be here today - it didn't come in the shipment. THey don't know when it will get here. Perhaps Wednesday they said.


Anyway - just the news form Pittsburgh, PA.
