Any News on Release Date?

[Mack the Knife]

i bought MoW on DVD but i have a sneaky suspicion red tide may not be available at amazon. i like the DVD so 2 years from now and i get a hair up my ass to play it, i have it to reinstall. what do you guys do if you download it and 6 months from now your drive crashes and you need to reinstall? what if a year from now you want to play it again and you've already removed it from you hard drive? also, i know alot of you bypass RTFM but i like to read it and i can't/won't print a 60 page PDF on my printer and i don't want to alt-tab the game to read it on line. besides, alt-tab does bizarre things with MoW!.

so first, does anyone know if it's coming out on DVD and second, if anyone is bored tell me digital downloading will be painless in all respects mentioned above....thanks!!
