I think i will buy a DL from Sprocket, and then when the local shop gets it, i will buy a DVD version from them as a back-up...

Huh? Lol, why buy 2 copies? Buy only one from Sprocket and downloaded files - burn into blank DVD ;)

Sprocket allow PayPal, don't they? For non-physical, anyway.

Yes, they do. That's how I paid for it day before yesterday.

ay hammer, i was contemplating ur method but need some enlightenment. ive never dlded a game before, so whats the go with the cd keys n stuff? the general picture i had was that u can only use em once... or is that just steam? its very important coz bout every 6 moths i will do a fresh install of windows. or will it just be the same as a hard copy?

cheers

Yea and be prepared for your copy of the game to not arrive on the dya of release.

They are know for that. They normaly send out the copy of the game ON RELEASE day using standard Royal mail delivery which is between 3-5 working days.

Do any of the digital providers simply provide a serial number + ISO you can mount or burn?

I'm not a fan of steam-like software that is required to install or launch the game.

On both Amazon uk and play.com it says delivery takes 3 to 5 working days... << does this mean you get it a week after release?

looks like i'll have to order mine from one of the two since it seems no shops here have even heard of this game coming out.

It is pretty relaxed. It was 5 activations during each 6 months, I believe.

Also, note that we always release DRM free executables for our games in patch no later than few months after the release which makes this probably non-issue.

My experience of Amazon is that they're quite good at sending stuff so that it arrives on the release day.

They make no promises, though.

The main problem is not where/how to buy Arma2: OA but where/how to buy a PC that is able to run it decently ;)

Therefore my question is: What are the ideal components for an "Arma2(OA)-PC"?

Not a single shop in the Netherlands yet?

Not that I know off yet. I asked bol.com a few days ago, and they said it might be possible they will sell it in the future.

Whenever I find a Dutch shop selling OA, I will post here. :)
