I'd also prefer to know at least *when* the game would be released in EU, all this hush hush is rediculous since the game has been out for almost 6 months...
Myself i prefer to buy the boxed versions of games, i can install it whenever i want, don't need to save anything to hd and can install it on pcs without an internet connection (not that that will happen soon but you never know). Furthermore i believe in buying games when released for full price because then the developers get more cash for their work which entices and enables them to continue their activities as a softwaredeveloper.
I must say; i've never been so enthousiastic about HOMM tbh which is a good sign imo
