Well my copy of IL2 CoD has finally arrived (somewhat later than I expected seeing as EB games sent it - admitedly from a different state - on the 29th) but it's here now.

I haven't opened it yet, but I am somewhat surprised that the box is so big. Its the size of an A4 bit of paper and 1.5" thick. What's more its just shy of a kilo (2.2 lb) in weight.

I wonder whats inside? I was expecting a CD sized box or something but thing is enormous, biggest box I've personally ever seen a computer game delivered in.

I'd take a picture of the box but I lost connection between my camera phone and my computer when I updated from 32 bit Vista to 64 bit Win 7 a while ago.

Its funny I've waited so, so many years for this game to get here, an eternity, but now that its here instead of opening the box up I'm posting about the box on the internet.

Just had to share my joy about the box I've just recieved with others who'd understand.

They must have made a mistake with this release on steam - usually heaps more expensive here in oz!

Yeap.. $90 for a game.. thats about the usual price...

Tho Australia is going through a bit of a revelation in recent times, notably a number of high profit business people are crying poor about the number of people importing from the US/UK.. But then, you'd be an idiot to ever pay AU retail prices anyway..

Yep! As of today $1.00 US = $1.03 AU. The game retails for about $40-50 US so why is EB Games screwing the Aussie flight communiy by charging $90-108 AU? See http://www.ebgames.com.au/search?title=cliffs+of+dover
