It would probably greatly benefit you guys if you start selling boxed PC versions in NA. I am an XBox person, so I do not really have a chance to pirate anything (no want to do so) but for enough people I know who love this game to purchase a downloaded version simply doesn't cut it. There are bunch of working torrents available, and in a situation of choice - download for $40 v. download for free, in times of economic hardship pragmatism easily wins over morality. May be you guys don't want to spend money on publishers bec. you are afraid of overstocking, but 2-3 months later it might be too little too late for boxed PC version.

Xbox piracy is pretty rampant actually, all you need is a mod chip and then it's easier than PC piracy. The reason it doesn't get as much press as PC piracy is because games on the Xbox still sell very well. Piracy is not the main issue with PC gaming, low sales is, and piracy is only a part of the reason for that.

It would have been nice to see the Steam one without the additional Securom stamped on top of it )=. It's really overkill at that point and I hate activation systems. I have a feeling that "deleting local content" on Steam isn't going to be considered a proper uninstall either which, with 5 activations, shouldn't cause problems, but is still )=.

What about an Xbox 360 US release date? I don't have a PC, I have a Mac and I don't play games on my Mac. It is a waste of computer space.

They are still working on getting the Xbox version distributed in the US. There is a distributor for Canada, so you could order it online (were you so inclined), if we ever get it. Amazon.ca has the PC version moved back from 'Usually ships in 1 to 3 weeks' a couple days ago to 'Usually ships in 5 to 8 weeks', and I have not been able to find the Xbox version listed anywhere yet.

I have a hunch that DNS is gonna end up being a Christmas gift in Canada and something you'll find in your Easter basket in the US.

I will be very disappointed if it is not released for Xbox in the US.

It would be a very poor business decision to completely ignore an entire market. I have confidence that Larian will get the game to the states, I just dont know if I can wait that long lol.

If it does not, blame the US market and the publishers for not coming to terms for distributing it here.

Hello all,

It's not that we are ignoring the US market, why should we?

Currently the game is only available in the US via digital distribution (e.g. www.larianvault.com).
We're working on getting it in US stores as soon as possible but unfortunately can't confirm anything yet on the front. As soon as we have more info, we'll put up an announcement.
