But Nadeo can increase the price and sell the game for 40-50 €, and this is better for Nadeo (more earn) and for who cannot download the game. And also with the boxed version sold for 50 €, Nadeo may include a key to free download the second environment or Shootmania: Storm (why free? Simple: because 20 € for Canyon + 20 € for second environment = 40 € and 10 € for the manual print and other similar things). This would be cool 8-)
Seems a bit illogical though......

I also prefer both, so everyone can decide whether he wants a boxed version or a downloaded. I like boxed versions more. ;)

its seem this poll proves one thing... tried and tested methods are the best i mean look
Boxed version
65
45%
these are the people that know that tried and tested methods are the best methods

Download version
20
14%
these are the people that haven't got a clue... the ones that cant quite comprehend that one day the internet could stop working altogether or the distributor could one day go into administration

Both
52
36%
these people like the tried and tested methods but want to give the digital work a chance to fail

I don't care
9
6%
these are just plain and simple greedy people ( i want to call them worse but wont) they want it now and if they don't they will stamp their feet cry for mummy (silver spoon anyone?)

i dont mean to offend, but you have to look at the bigger picture, you have to look at the what if's......


but at the end of the day 90% of the population will always be naive and will always believe what is fed to them buy the press...... because the press are good ad selling things to use that we don't want or need..... or sell us something that is never ours or benefits the big cooperation's
you may believe that we demanded digital downloads but we didn't!!!!! the press told us we wanted it!
Why????? because companies wanted bigger profit margins..... they don't have to pay the middle man to put code to plastic any more.... fine.... everyone want to say a bit of money and the environment and there is nothing wrong with that except when you look at the even bigger picture......
job loss and all it knock on effects..... do i need to go on?

Don't sell the boxed version is worse for Nadeo and Ubi because at least ¾ of Trackmaniacs don't wants OR/AND can't get the game only by payed download ("payed" because Nations was free, if Nations wasn't free certainly wouldn't have been download 10 million times!)

@Ripbox:

What the hell are you saying? What should people do if they don't lind the boxed version in the stores?
I voted "download" because is the only way i have to buy the game.
Who are you to say that? and be sure of what you say? You don't know why people voted something else instead of whay you voted!
Bah..

Well, if nobody can download, how come that Nations has been downloaded 10.000.000 times?
The only problem with downloads is online payment.
And that is solved with the prepay cards, you buy them in a shop and pay the download with it.

But nobody knows if these cards can be used also for TM2? Paysafecard is really interesting for me, but in the Games section of the site I see only unknown games :? . Which prepayed card system was used for TMUF (if was used)?
