Oh good it's not just mine.. Conversation usually goes
1."What are all these boxes? Why don't you throw them away?"
2."I like the box"
3."But it's just a box"
4."I like the box"
5. Repeat for about 30 mins..
6. Keep box.

Ha ha that sounds familiar! only point 6. is differant, box lands in the paper bin in 90% of the cases unless it is small.

What does irretate on that picture is no manuel for a Bf 109. Are people only supposed to fly the Spitfire? I mean like, as if that was not the case in IL2 that a majority take to Spits since they have become available.
Well amazon.de still does not have it listed.

I assume there is a similar manual for the 109?

As for why the Spitfire I'd imagine it's marketing at work again, ask anybody who only has cursory knowledge of the Battle of Britain and the only aircraft they are likely to be able to tell you took part was the Spitfire when anybody with any knowledge knows it was just one part of the overall battle.

It's official that Ubisoft is the Publisher. Ubi_Marc, Admin of German IL2 Forum said it is a leak and they wanted to announce it next week. Also he said DRM its just for activation!

Yer, but activation how often?
You'll exscuse me if I have little trust for Ubisoft. (SilentHunter1,2,3 and 4 fan)

Just the once after an install I'd guess, much like any game with a key, you enter the key, game goes online to check it's not blacklisted and is valid, game activates and that the job done.

With any luck it's simply Steam they're talking about and nothing on top of that (Ubi recently released RUSE with Steam as the only DRM, so I was mildly optimistic they'd do the same here).

I'd prefer to create an account or something similar, or some could steal your key

I'm hoping, I'm really hoping that this isn't true.

While Multi-Player is going to be what keeps me the most interested for the longest time, I do enjoy a Single-Player campaign with a bit of a story as well. RAF is all fine and dandy, but I was looking forward to seeing what they were going to do with the German campaign.

At least the modders can make a Single Player German campaign we can play (assumign they are allowed access to the big map). Just have to wait a few months or so.

Oh well then the Spit manual will be just fancy toilet paper......
But I most likely will go for the standard version, don´t need no collectors version. Have enough things that collect dust, don´t need no big boxes to add.
