And of course you can always email support if you have any problems, but I think with 5 for varying hardware over 6 months you'd have to be extremely rich to keep upgrading your PC that much

Regarding paying VAT, I believe it's only if you live in the EU that you pay VAT, but you could be in the US and pay with an EU credit card and that would mean you don't need to pay VAT.

Of course the postcards/map would be sent to the non-EU address you register with, so if for example you're a European, visiting a non-EU friend, and you order ArmA2 from Sprocket with your EU credit card, but then suddenly have to return to Europe before your postcards/map arrives, as long as you correctly entered the friend's address he will still receive the postcards/map and can forward them on to you.

And for those worries about download speed:

Too bad Sprocket is a complete scam in some cases. Customer support for them is very unreliable. Tried talking to a Rep when I had problems with their ArmA download and I got an e-mail a week later with broken English.

I'm sorry but that's nonsense, in the very early stages there were some teething problems but they were quickly resolved and they go out of their way to help people resolve Sprocket issues as quickly as possible (as I do myself and have offered to help in the past with anyone having Sprocket issues).

I know the guy personally who does Sprocket's support and he does an excellent job, and speaks very good English. I'm sorry if you had previous problems with a Sprocket version but calling them a "scam" is extremely unfair and inflammatory.

Just another options for people to buy and play the game... for those that find downloading stuffs is more convenient and cheaper.

Sure absolutely as it is a matter of choice, but as mentioned the DVD is only a few days away. Now what Sprocket should have done was get the license to distribute the game upon release, then I would see sales go up even further.

When I bought ArmA I from Sprocket, they had a Domain name. Is there a reason there new sight is just an IP?

Oh, so Sprocket is a non-profit organization?

**Kegetys** · Jul 3 2009, 06:39
