No, Lighthouse, that's not true, no contracts have been signed yet, some-one said possible end of july, early August, but that was the soonest possible chance, which has nearly past, I say, expect end August, early September.

If you look on the main website, vstep is shipping the boxed version from 15th July. You can pre-order it now.

Will be quicker than waiting to buy it in a shop in Australia.

If that doesn't work, I'll bring a copy to Australia when I go on holiday.

Hey, I could become an exporter of software...

Personally (being an impatient type) I would just download it anyway. Vstep have made a PDF file of the inlay available, so you can still get a nice box

I figured out that it cost like $86 for the download?

So shouldnt i just wait for boxed version?

scooter540 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 17, 2007, 13:42:36 »

$86??Are you sure?I converted the 36.99 from Euro's into Canadian dollars for myself and it only came to about $59 or somewhere in there.I'm still going to wait for the boxed version though.

Download: 36.99 Euro (EUR) = 58.34517 Australian Dollar (AUD)
Boxed version 39 Euro (EUR) = 61.51558 Australian Dollar (AUD)

Hi All,
Got mine from play.com it's a very good price,plus tim pre-ordered as well.
Here is the like for you to look at as follows -

http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/3335729/Ship-Simulator-2008/Product.html

Must also say thank's to shipsim for a great game well worth the long wait and
can only get better.Did have to upgrade my graphic card and the power supply,
also got pc world in the uk to upgrade it as myself would not have a clue.Good
job tim did as would have never thought about the power supply.

Cheers Timbo

Ps My old card was gelforce fx5600 but could not fit a 7900 card as would not fit
my motherboard due to the fixing.
But the one that would fit is a NVIDIA Gelforce 7800 GS 256mb memory,works OK.

Wonder why my price was bit high i conveted it from pounds not Euro..lol

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2007, 06:12:52 »

I bought the download version. I live in the US though so the conversation only made it about $40.

If you don't have the system requirements I would wait for it to come out in stores so if it dosn't work you can return it. Unless VSTEP has a return policy?

Mr Robville · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2007, 08:48:28 »

can someone show a screenshot of the cd cover of SS2008? because i downloaded him nad 3 days later the boxed version comes out.

so i burned the game on a cd (just in case my computer crashes) and a nice cd cover would be nice so can anyone show it to me? please

[RWP]DJM · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2007, 12:59:13 »

You can get the Cover here (http://www.vstepsupport.com/ShipSim2008/SS2008_Inlay.pdf) it's in .pdf format, so you will need Adobe Reader to view it;)

Regards.

DJM.

Mr Robville · « **Reply #18 on:** July 26, 2007, 13:07:21 »

[RWP]DJM · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2007, 13:08:43 »

You're welcome

This cover is available in FAQ's and Announcements

Regards.

Mr Robville · « **Reply #20 on:** July 26, 2007, 13:11:54 »

now it really looks like a purchased game

fishlikelong · « **Reply #21 on:** July 26, 2007, 13:12:47 »

So it's not out in the shops yet?
I've seen it in my local GAME on the shelf for Â£30.

Maybe it's just out in the UK in shops then?

It is available as a boxed version in some countries, but not all.

If you can't run it it is extremely unlikely that the retailer will accept it back. Obviously, some people will make ilegal copies. If you find a retailer offering refunds, I'm sure Vstep would like to know about it...

Although you play the demo once ready.
