SoaSE + Entrenchment + Diplomacy Bundle

Buying the whole thing.

from Sins Forums

Where I live dollars are a bit expensive, and so games tend to be quite expensive to buy. Even though, I've decided I want this game. I've played it and it's quite awesome, and I really like the company policy on no DRM and the Gamer Bill of Rights and all that.

To save a little cash I was thinking on buying the whole thing at once, the main game and the two expansions, but I didn't see any option for this in the Impulse store. I know Diplomacy won't be out for a few months, but I wondered if anybody knew an option to buy both available games and pre-orden the new one all together for a discount. I know I sound like a cheapstake, but this option would really make it easier for me (and it will exist in a few months when Diplomacy is ready).

So, any info? Should I post this somewhere else?

Thanks a lot!

Did you add the item to your cart in Impulse to see what price you'll be paying?  I believe the game price is not constant across all regions, and Impulse automatically adjusts the price you pay according to where you are.  When I tried to buy the game electronically in China, the cart price was around ￥120, which is only $15, half the price of the game in the U.S., and I don't think the game was on sale at the time.  Granted, a bundle in your region would probably translate into additional savings, but the region based retail price could mean you're going to pay less than you would first expect.

And the conversation has become about the price of Sin in China... :P

Well this is great news! I'll check it out right away. Thanks!

I finally bought the game after the 10/7 discount (I considered it a sign :P) but now I have a couple of questions.

As soon as my order was accepted both games began downloading, but as Entrenchment is smaller it finished earlier and installed itself. Will this be a problem? Should I uninstall it and re-install after SoaSE is installed? Also, how do I pick the installation folder? The game installed itself in the root of my hard drive.

Thanks a lot!
