DCS Box editions?

[dino1984]

Hey,

 

Will FC3, UH1, Mi8, etc. be available in DVD Box, or only download?

 

Thanks

Only Download version.

The P-51 does exist in a box version but I would be extraordinarily surprised if they ever made a box for the others. It was rather pointless for the P-51 in the first place (unless someone can show me a copy on a store shelf).

 

Of the boxed versions that do exist, at this time, not a single one can be upgraded to the current version. Completely new software must be downloaded, though the enclosed key will work.

IIRC, I saw boxed copies of FC2 and Black Shark 2 in stores in New Zealand a year ago, but that was a specific local publisher I guess (maybe Mindscape?). The boxes were the size of a dvd case, but 3x thicker with a nice opening flap, but the contents were just a dvd and perhaps some quick notes, don't recall anymore.

 

Regardless, the boxed versions have their use for the stores, but I'd very much like to have collector's editions which would include a printed manual and some gimmicks which could be more or less useful (e.g. maps, nice keyboard control lists, etc.).
