My problem with PayPal is that it does not allow payments from all countries, only PayPal authorised areas.Which pretty much leaves Trinidad and Tobago, and several other territories out.
Another online payment option is 2checkout.com which does not have this limitation and accepts VISA payments from anywhere. I've integrated 2Checkout with a dynamic magazine website (http://www.macomag.com) and it's really simple to do, more so than PayPal (though I didn't use php). I also believe they support electronic software delivery through their website and a 2Checkout account.
I too would like a hard CD version, even with a download offered. And even if I need to pay seperately for the shipping. There's no guarantee that my 'high speed' connection will be up to the task of downloading 650+ MB file.
Downloading is great, but what about Bandwidth concerns from Europe to the rest of the world? What if everyone that bought the game in the 'West' wants it upon release?
