is this true?

hey i know someone who said they got a cd with the beta on it.....?? anyone know if this is true? he said he went to a website, paid like 15.99 or something and they sent a cd to him on sunday and he is playing the beta or whatever right now

Maybe it's for dial up users?

Could be, since you can pay 15 at fp and get the game and play beta.

Indeed, doesn't FP have a program where you can select a bunch of stuff and have them burn it and mail it instead of you downloading it? BTW, it only cost me $8 (one month subscription) at FP to get in on the ST and OB.

Yup, that is true. I still haven't preordered yet... Too lazy to pick up the phone... hah
