Man up and say what you mean and mean what you say.  Trying to sneak an extra $5 out of potential ly interested subscribers is beyond cheap; its deceptive.  Chalk another point of interest in the Warhammer column for me.

And...charging for 10 days added gametime and 3 days headstart is cheating....how again?

Isn't that a perk of a pre-order though? To get in early and/or an item?

Not cheating, genius. No one said anything about cheating, to the bright (cough) poster above.   Nice spin-attempt.

I wouldnt call it sneaking $5 out of you. As downloading the 12gig's worth of data needed to install the 26gig client is going to end up costing whoever offers you the preorder download more then $5 in bandwidth costs.

Not a good a deal as POTBS had offered for sure, which included a headstart and some preorder items at no additional cost. A pity that game kinda fell from grace though. But at least is was a little less interested in fees for every little thing.

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his brother.

Thats laughable.  You think other potential customers, 3 days later, are paying an additional $5 to download.  Nope.
