Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General About pre-ordering the boxed CE

Hi. I'm looking so much forward to the release on 30th of June but I'm curious if I order the boxed CE from this site will I then have to wait till I get the physical thing to play the game?

Thanks

Volt.

Well yes, because your codes to download the game would be in the game's box so you would have to wait.

I see, thanks.

Then I will need to find my patience

Volt.

To take this question one step further - will the Collector's Edition ship in time so the box arrives on day of release (I assume that's why I was charged EUR12 for shipping to the UK?!) - like amazon and a number of other distributors do on pre-orders?

Sorry, I think this is answered in another thread I had missed before posting! Apologies.
