Sins of a Solar Empire Retail Launch

Sins of a Solar Empire Retail Launch

The roll-out begins!

Yesterday saw the digital launch of Sins of a Solar Empire.  Today begins the official retail launch of the game. 

The following retailers should have Sins of a Solar Empire on the shelf starting today or by the end of the week:

  • Best Buy (launched at 2pm today)
  • EB
  • Gamestop
  • Target
  • Circuit City
  • Walmart
  • Fry's

Regardless of where you buy the game, you'll get the full direct digital service from Stardock. That means you'll be able to re-download your game on Stardock Central (and soon Impulse) even if you lose your DVD. In fact, once you've created an account, you'll be able to re-download the entire game even if you lose the DVD and serial # and everything else.

And just as we do with our other games, we plan to provide frequent updates based on player suggestions and feedback. These updates are not required to play (except for on-line games of course for synchronizing reasons) so if you don't want to update, you don't have to.

Here are some highlighed screenshots from the launch:

soo ... have the european retailers slowly started to win your favour? considering the game got so many excellent reviews and apparently does quite well in retailing overseas, at least someone must be interesting in selling this game to the old world people. hope to get my boxed copy soon. god, this download system is brilliant, otherwise I would be angry as hell, waiting for my package to arrive.

I have the same question (can't buy it online and I really liked the demo after a while), surely the success of SoaSE in North-America must mean something to the European publishers?
