Cd or download?(pc)

[I am Tsuki]

Alienware has no disc drive :/ so can you prob download it jw

We have no idea at this point. However, I will be very surprised if the client is not downloadable in some fashion.

My bet's that the CD will come out first, with the client popping up on PSN sometime later.

This is provided PSO2 comes out on the Playstation.

CD? It's not 1998 anymore, folks. DVDs are all the rage nowadays, haven't ya hurd?

Anyways, it'd be interesting if they adopted Korea's policy on it and released a downloadable client first (Korea doesn't have traditional box sales like we do), but most likely they'll just go with tradition and do the DVD+box thing. Chances are fairly high you'll be able to download the client in some form if you have no other option. It's the internet age, after all!

It could be CD, and will probably be mailed only to the winners of the raffle. Otherwise if they make it a public distribution (or even download) someone else can get it, hack through it and leak everything.

Either or i won't be mad with either choice.

[NoiseHERO]

It would probably offer both...isn't that how things are done now days?

I'd rather download it to save time, but I'm sure some people would love to just have the disc.

Also if theres a free trial, download would make that less annoying...

Mailing the CD's sounds like it would be bad for non-japanese alpha testers... How did PSU do their betas anyway? @_@

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

Only residents of Japan qualify for the alpha test anyway.

PSU PC betas were downloadable. I believe they had a brief PS2 beta that was distributed in Japan through certain stores, but that's unimportant.

That's correct. They were available to to people who reserved PSU, I think. I found one second hand and I think that's what it said in the manual. The Japanese PSOBB Beta also came on a disc.
