Does this mean an actual physical copy of the game or simply free to download?

My guess is just the download, as the only physical copies being made are for North America only, so sending you the CDs wouldn't be much use.

To add to Damz, its a bit damn pointless letting EU players win physical copies, as they'll be US versions. Unless we missed a memo somewhere that they magically made EU versions too...

Clicking on link, it very much looks like a box edition?

Surely you can't call digital downloads copies can you?

Yea! An EU only giveaway! Maybe now certain people can stop whining (yea right, no chance of that) over the lack of EU love. Of course that means now the Latin American crowd will start chiming in. *Sigh*

Seriously, I am glad to see this. I am a fair is fair type of person, so this is a good move in my opinion.

Good Job Paragon Studios!

Hmm maybe if you yourself were treated like the EU has, you would be a bit peeved also.

I maybe wrong though and all those in the NA will buy digitial copies rather than buying a physical box edition.

Do they have for sale unique enhancements in Europe if you pre order through a shop? Do they have an architect or GR box in Europe?

And the things you can get here are not exclusive to Europe but just giveaways they have been giving away for a long time.

Contests are nice and good and I have to give credit too NcSoft, that part was always well done for Europe(well, as far as I know).

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Sorry for the necromancy but anyone has news about the Rock, Paper, Shotgun contest?
No word since the 13th August, nor top date of submission, nor day of the selection. Nothing.
