KB: Crossworlds DVD release date?

[rickah88]

Has there been any more information concerning a hard copy release of Crossworlds? Last I heard it was the 1Q of 2011. Has a firm date, for the US release, been established yet?

I would be really interested in this too!

I only see the "asian" or "european" release, which worries me, since I don't know how legitimate those copies are.

That said, I suppose it would be nice to have a DVD version which included the upcoming patch.

I'm waiting for the Platinum Version, which I hear will include all three games.

Oooh yeah! Yeah, I think I would rather wait for that one too!

Does it come with a great big size poster? (Of the mage blue dressed Amelie?) http://www.kings-bounty.com/eng/img/...ess05_1280.jpg but with a cooler background XD

Me, too, but I will buy it only on disk - yes, I am one of those guys who likes having it on the shelves and will never buy software using online distribution...

Well, I've been waiting for the platinum edition for a long time now (over a year), so I guess I can wait another month or two - I guess the release should happen before Christmas shopping spree to maximize profits...

I'm sure a few years down the road digitial downloading will fully take over, but for now it hasn't. I understand it costs money to package games up, ship, etc...but that is still your bigger market. To place that market on the backburner is not good business sense.

At best the Platinum edition would be out Q1 of 2011. I haven't seen a sniff for even a pre-order on Amazon or Amazon UK. So my guess is somewhere around March/April/May...but with 1C always dragging their A$$, it's hard to tell. They're all "gung-ho" for the digital release(for all the fanboys that want to dissect the game to it's core) then basically remain null on a physical release(as note by Nike-it's non-informative comment).

1C, judging by many of their other releases in the UK, have to find a distribution partner for their games. King's Bounty: The Legend, for example, was with Nobilis (I believe it moved to Focus after some time), Armored Princess was with Focus and so forth. Luckily (I suppose) for them, there's a few in the UK such as Focus and Mastertronic who seem to fill that role, but I *think* it's not really the case in the US.

Agreed, me too - I don't like Steam downloads. More so because I have been reading articles that not-factory burned DVDs have an estimated 10 or so years lifetime only... due to the organic paint material inside detoriating due to heat and humidity. So I'd rather have the original. I don't really often buy games, only the ones I REALLY like, and King's Bounty is high on that list. This year, I have only bought Dragon Age and War for Cybertron.
