EGOSOFT SHOP - questions about x3 preorder

Post by tiger_jack »

sorry i'm posting this in the universe forum, but i really don't know where else to post it. i'm one of the thousand guys who woke up today, went looking for the screenshot and found out x3 will soon be out and can be ordered at the shop. now, i'd really like to order it online but, as this would be the first time i buy something on the internet, i'm a little concerned about a few things, such as:
- i have no credit card. what does exactly "pay manually by transfering money" mean? when you click on it what appears is a form to complete, but i can't sign it if i don't know what is going to happen next...
- when is it going to be delivered? will i recieve a copy on october 28th, or maybe a little later, or does it depend on how many orders are before mine?
- what if the game doesn't arrive? i mean, if i have already transfered the money i hope there won't be any problem - i trust egosoft guys won't eat my money -, but what if payment is on delivery and the delivery isn't coming? i can't risk buying the game elsewhere, but i can't wait too long to play it either... :P :P :P
i'm really sorry to criticize, but for first-time buyers the online shop isn't giving much of an advice.
wow... long post (for my average...), i hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere, but i think i'm not the only one with this problem.
bye anyone, and may these last days slip away quickly... :lol: :lol:
Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it... because you're not really looking... You don't really want to know... You want to be fooled.

Yea, so have I.. - Pre-ordered it from Egosoft so I can get the thing that comes with it, plus it shows them I support them in some way. :) - although it costing me $95.29 NZ money..
Methinks I will be buying a cheap dvd drive to run it through tho and put my good new dvd writer in my other computer, so that if the egosoft version does contain SF it won't get at my good dvd writer..

Congrats X3 is the first game ever I have both preordered and ordered before reading a review of it. I've had a PC since 1993 (and no, its not the same one :roll: ).

Lol - Nice one :D

I pre-ordered X3+Book from dabs.co.uk for about £25 (I think). <waits anxiously to here the sound of a package plopping through the letter box> :D

Preorder page doesn't work here... :cry:

I get to step 3 where you're supposed to be redirected to another secured site, but there is no redirection, and no logo to click onto for manual redirection either...

Well, tried to contact enlight about which version (cd or dvd) is being shipped to the stores but it seems that either I'm not speaking english (american) or ??? All I can get out of them is that "a dvd rom drive is backward compatable and can play CDs" and a link to a nice site telling me that DVD's have much greater capacity than CD's. Ummm. ???? DUH!!!!

I'll probably hem/haw for a bit more but will probably just order from egosoft to make sure I get the dvd version.

As much as I'd like to pre order this game, I'm having a VERY difficult time justifying paying $67.** even when it is shipping with a book.

I'll probably just wait until I can get it at EB Games.

Same here, I found this on www.gameplay.co.uk for GBP24.99 and only 4.99 shipping including the book which is still ~$52 bucks but it's better than $67. ;)

More of a query than anything else, I remember when I pre-ordered X2 I got a confirmation email that the order had been received. Is this still the case with pre-ordering X3 as I have not received one.

Has anyone else or is it just me…..

:? :roll: :?

Play.com does it for 24.99 no delivery costs (but no book)

I did not get that, all I had was a confirmation email from PayPal that the money had been sent.
