See? And thats why i prefer getting my stuff from the shelf. It just doesnt happen all that often that way...

You might get a scratched disc from a store 100 miles away from your home though. By the time you got the disc replaced, the game is half-off.

Wait for TRP, Core and SR mods to get SS-divisions.

You say something interesting there sir. I would like my SS-divisions to have black counters instead of white and am mad enough to pay Paradox $1 for the privelege ;)

I would've preferred the *option* of what DLC I wanted with pre-ordering. I never play with sprites so I will never notice the new ones, but I'm absolutely crazy about scenarios. Then there might be someone who really likes the music your composer makes so he would go for that instead, or perhaps someone really thinks your backgrounds are beautiful so he wants more.

Or someone who doesn't want any of that and prefers saving the extra cost as blue coins so that maybe in the future he can spend those on DLC he actually wants :)

Pre-ordered from Gamersgate.

I just hope that you don't need to "activate" the game via Internet as my Laptop is used for the internet stuff and my playing computer is not connected to the internet....

Now....the game will be downloadable on August 7th, 0 AM Swedish time, won't it? That would be August 6th, 5 PM CT? (can't wait....just 333 h 31 minutes to go....:rofl::rofl::rofl:)

I preordered through Amazon.com in the US. Will my game come with bonus sprites as well?

Well... from what I gather from Johan, this might work out for me.
I'd rather not download the game (I like a manual and also sometimes a game is in the shop prior to the official release date - and we all know that speed is everything here!). I do not mind DLC though.

So when I read HoI3 at Gamersgate, I got doubtfull. I would much like those spritepacks. And every other one I can get my hands on. This DLC thing inside the game, looks nice. I do not have any blue coins, but that appears to be a minor administrative problem.

So Johan and others at Paradox, thank you.
I will be buying every spritepack I can get my hands on (and once I know how many coins this takes).
Rockstone.

Actually you have blue coins when you buy games at GG. I was surprised to see I already earned some blue coins by getting a couple of games from GG. It might not be much (since those games were special discount deals) but those and HOI3 would give enough coins for two sprite packs already. :D

I have to laugh at how fast things change around here. I know a lot of it is people afraid of change or a different set of the core audience. But I have been reading the last 6 months about people willing to pay $80 for this game and they are suprised it is only $40. Now an opitional $.99 or $1.99 sprite pack has everyone up in arms. :rofl: Not to mention all you that claim to be willing to support Paradox with anything they bring out because of what an awesome company and developer they are(and they really are:D)

For all you comparing this to the dreaded "horse armor", wasn't that like $20? I don't remember exactly. But in this case you know exactly what you are getting.

I love the fact that they have continued to improve the game after it went gold. I think personalized music for countries and extra sprites(MODELS:D) really ad to the emersion factor of playing different countries.

And if this makes the game better and helps Paradox produce more content and better games, I am all for it. GO JOHAN AND FREDRIK!

Well I bought 50 dollars worth of Paradox stuff from GG yesterday (Vicky, Supreme Ruler 2020, Mount and Blade and EU3 Complete) and I got 2.50 in blue coins, enough for a DLC. And I'm going to preorder HoI3 and get CK soon which will give me enough for another one. So I'll get the sprite packs. They're practically free.

So now to choose which site to get it from. Gamersgate has the sprite packs, Impulse has the free HoI2 (which seems strange as I think most HoI3 purchasers own HoI2 already) and Steam has nothing. Any hints on what Steam's bonus might be?

Why are all those downloads more expensive than a hardcopy of the game? I could preorder the game for 32.odd € from play.com in the UK, free delivery to germany. Or i could pay 39.99€ for a Download at Impulse or Gamersgate.

If i have to pay 32€ for a hardcopy, i wont sure as hell don´t pay more than 20€-25€ for a gamedownload. :confused::eek::wacko:

I once dowanloaded a game via Impulse, Sins of a Solar empire, and i was not satisfied the least, since the downloadsspeeds were only about 1.5MB/s and i could only get the most up to date version of the game, so i had quite some problems with mods.
