Sometimes I am thinking why some people eg. are encouraging to watch a HD movie, when they can't, cause it'll take too long time to download it. That's why I think box is better - it doesn't even have to be a tutorial, just the game, cause downloading takes too much time. Besides, there's still a lot of people under 18, which mostly doesn't have PayPal or other way of online payment.

So you think we will not (have to) buy TM2 by PayPal or that stuff?

That wasn't what he said.
He said, that he has no problem to use "paypal and stuff" to buy TM2
The only problem for him is to download the data. It takes too long for him ;)

wow that is great

I am able to buy the game with paypal, but paysafecard is a much better solution


Paysafecard is available at this countries:

germany
austria
france
switzerland
poland
united kingdom
spain
greece
slovakia,
slovenia,
netherlands
Belgium
portugal
czech republic
denmark
ireland
sweden
luxembourg
italia
argentina
cyprus
romania
mexico
finland
norway
USA


you can buy it at many stores, just ask at the till of the shop if they have paysafecard and when they have it you will be able to buy it with cash

for example in germany paysafecard is available in:

-Netto
-Norma
-Rossmann
-Edeka
- near every Gas Station
-Mobile phone card machine


this will solve the online payment thing for many people, but the slow internet connection is still a problem..

Ok, he doesn't have, but what about the rest? This online payment will cut a lot of players from buying TM2. This will be a huge problem, and Nadeo will lose a lot because of this.

Edit: So there is still a problem. Not all countries will have it.

I think a box version is much better than a download version. You often lost your keys and you have to wait very long before the download is ready. So I hope Nadeo/Ubisoft will make a box version because not everyone has a fast internet connection. Also not everyone trusts this online-payment system - Nadeo would lost a lot of young players because their parents would not allow to sell a game online. :lol:

So the payment won't be a problem.
And even with slow download, it will arrive eventually.
Only if you got a data limit it can pose a problem, but in that case, maybe a friend, someone from your team, your work/school or something like that can download it, and put it on a dvd.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone started a service to send dvd's to people, the community has always been very creative, so unless it would technically be impossible to do such a thing i think it might appear.

Anyway, Hylis has just stated that there will be no boxed version, so hoping for it won't help.
