Hmm.. i always wondered why they never did what they did with PS core combat. they let you pay online, and then download it. frankly i'd like it that way. cause less waiting time, less traveling. but down side of that is the 56k'ers, but they could do both ways. So how about they do that with SWG:JTLS? Oh, and doing it that way cuts back on costs, no making cd's, no shipping, no middle man/woman. =)

I think that sounds like a great idea, then people wouldnt
get as angry as they got now that the european release
has changed to nov 5th. Why it has changed we dont
know, but if we could choose to download the game,
so many people wouldnt get upset and then there
really could be a worldwide release!.

There's another downside. Bandwidth costs more than pressing a CD in bulk. So, we'll still be downloading patches, but if they put out most of the files on a CD then we don't download as much.

True, but it would be easier for the people to get. people that live in europe wouldn't have to wait till the 5th to be able to get it. and if they did it myway (how they did it with PS core combat) there wouldn't be "waaa he got it a day before me" or "waaa they got an extra day to grind" or whatever others can think of lol. cause everyone could get it at the same time.

Yep. And they'd bump us all up to $20/mo to pay for it. I'd rather have a couple weeks of bitching every year or so, and pay less every month.

If you are in beta, then they should make it so that all you have to do is download a few extra files, and make the jtls beta into the full version. that would cut back downloading time for how many people.
