No, pre-purchase only includes the download version, if you want a boxed edition, you have to rebuy it, or you can burn the download on a disc and put it in a box :P

And wait longer.

I wish it would be possible to purchase both download & boxed versions at the same time, just with only one license (so it could be cheaper than buying two copies). I like having the box, but having to wait for it to arrive is not nice.

 

Maybe there could be some deal that, if you buy the download version and the paper manual you can get a boxed version for a minimal extra fee. It could be shipped with the manual so it would not bring extra costs that way and could be a small extra encouragement to buy the paper manual.

You can always buy a blank dvd box, print out the cover, copy the download version to a dvd, print something nice on the dvd (lightscribe or something), print out the manual, eh voila! a boxed version ;)

Nono, DarkEagle you know what he means. I agree with sdambo and Kegetys. An official box looks very cool on the shelve and a stamped DVD retains its data longer than a burned one. But mainly its just nice to have something physical as a proof of purchase and to show off to friends :)

That would be the "FOB in Afghanistan little kid selling BS quality movies as legit" version. Pretty much the same, but just not quite there. :D

:P point taken :)

 

But you also must understand my point ;)

Understood. I guess for myself if the D2D version was $10-$15 cheaper, I would understand. As it is, I am paying the same if not more than the eventual retail version and get nothing physical. Also, being in the packaging industry, I have to support my craft and those who spent the time designing the DCS boxes. Getting a box designed and mass produced, art for the box made, DVDs produced, and everything else packaged and sealed then shipped, should cost about the same as a printed manual being shipped. So that would be a nice exchange for the box and associated stuff it usually comes with. Send us downloaders a manual. :)
