Hey, I got mine from NewEgg too. I happened to be ordering some computer parts, and I thought I'd try out Sins because it sounded good, and NewEgg seemed to be the cheapest place to get it..

Yep, the Newegg deal is a pretty good one. Still free shipping!

Congrats! Now just hope you're able to install it. The game appears pretty hit-and-miss on that topic.

The vast majority of users have no issues with installation - but as is the case with everything, out of 200k units there's bound to be some problems

I had it downloaded and up and running in less than a hour on my 8meg line. So i don't see the problem.

Yes, the download is packaged so it's pretty small.

I guess I should mention I'm also buying a few parts to make a tiny kitchen pc.

I already have a 10 inch datalux which I can use as the screen and k/m.

I'm wondering how quickly it'll be forgotten when I get SOASE....

depends, i find that SoaSE allows for a decent amount of cooking time , though of course that depends of how much you like burnt food

lol i've been known to take showers get dressed and do laundry while in a game of sins. The funny thing is the game progresses so much slower than u would think when you're not sitting right in front of it. Time flys when you're sitting in front of the screen focusing the whole game.

I remember back in beta when the AI barely did anything, someone left the game running overnight while they went to sleep.   I should've saved the resource count screenshot..

I don't know if you are being sarcastic, but for whatever reason, it took a while for it to install off my DVD.

On my 8 meg connection, probably took less to download it from stardock

And I was refering to a 3 gig game taking 20 minutes to download....

It's awesome you'll love it.

Start slow - do the tutorials even though nobody likes doing them Then start with a small system.

Couple points of advice - turn on the tactical grid and other selections under User Interface. Tried to play in 100% cinematic mode at first and it was.... difficult to say the least!

Good luck and hit us up if you need any pointers!!!
