I also still don't know which PC version to buy (Steam key, Uplay key or boxed).

I have a bigger Steam game library and having Trackmania Turbo in it would be nice.
But if Trackmania Turbo also requires the Uplay client software, it doesn't make much sense (TMT first starts the Steam stub, then the Uplay runtimes and after this itself. To much overhead.).

I will earn 40 Uplay points, if I buy Trackmania Turbo via the Uplay Shop. But I have no use for it. There is only one game in the library (AC3/finished) and I run the Uplay client very seldom.
Or does Trackmania Turbo only requires an Uplay account and not the client software itself like e.g. Trials Frontier?

Or should I buy the boxed version? What's included? A disk with a small setup stub or the full set of game files? A printed manual? The stickers, that the Logorama guy shows in the E3 video? A autograph card? A 3D goggle? A VR headset?

Well, I'm still not sure if I'm gonna buy the game on Steam or eventual Box version. If there is no Box version, I'll obiviously choose Steam to have all my games in one place. If there will be the Box version and its key could be activated also on Steam, this would be the best option.

@Nadeo
Just let us know all the buying choices and that will be far enough for us. ;)

I have same questions as already asked here.

Anything else in the box PC version that a DVD?
Is it possible to activated a box key on Steam?

EDIT: Any update on getting ManiaPlanet Lagoon for free when buying TMT? :)

I pre ordered it on Uplay because of the 20% discount.

Firstly I'll try the demo, if the game looks right I'll buy the boxed version as ever. :thumbsup:
