SEATAC 400 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Looks good Joe. Too bad it's only for Steam. But I suppose that's their way lf enticing us to switch from the dvd edition. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 It will be available from Orbx on the 15th of December 2015, once the exclusivity deal runs out. Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 yeah I remember reading they did a 90 day exclusivity deal for steam products........ Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 It will be available from Orbx on the 15th of December 2015, once the exclusivity deal runs out. Great timing so us DVD'rs can budget it for a Xmas bonus. Doubt it will be on "holiday sale" as a new product (in fact I'm not holding my breath that ORBx will offer a holiday sale ), but would make a nice stocking bonus regardless.
