I only see a download version on the webshop.
They take orders and send a boxed CE to your home?

It seems to link with whatever country you live in,ordering at the ubi site.For me,it takes me to a link where I can buy the CE or download,people from other countries get routed to their own countries ubi site.
Really,its a joke of a situation for such a long anticipated game.Bloody weird way to sell a game,making it impossible to buy in a lot of countries,and I hate to say it,but its just this sort of thing that encourages piracy.
But,when we heard ubi was in charge in the west,did we really expect anything different?

More than one person has commented to me "I was thinking of getting it but if its only available by download then why not just wait for the cracked version on bit-torrent".

I completely disapprove of piracy in any form but its easy to see how such stupid marketing might tempt the less scrupulous to go that way.

This is exactly why I havent bothered even pre-ordering it at all...

who knows what version (download or hardcopy), when and where this game will be release???
ubi has only mentioned a d/l version. no US game sites have it even listed as a "coming soon"...

Im waiting for the "omg they changed my pre-order to april 19!!" thread.

What it really amazing is only last week the Ubisoft CEO was quoted as saying that UBI actually LOSES money on its online digital games which makes you wonder about the download only market segment as well:

That is me too. I'll probably pick up the game (or order it) a week after it is released. At least there shouldn't be much confusion by then.

+1
I went into a shop called "GAME" its pretty big chain here in the UK.
They have sheets sent to the stores monthly to check about whats in the stores during the year.
The guy behind the counter i asked, who was a FS fan and had played all the IL2 games was quite excited as, check this.. he had never heard of Cliffs of Dover (Storm Of War) and it definitely wasnt on his games list sheets either.
They had games listed all the way through to DECEMBER 2011!

And now checked the GB UBI site, no longer can you pre-order the CE either, its back to the regular edition which has been bumped up £10 more than other main releases.

RETARDED Marketing RESULTS in Piracy and POOR Sales, Worst case, UBI dont make a profit, and 1C could be left to carry the can.

UBI get your butts together and advertise this game!!
