I'm going for the retail copy at the moment. It's only £25.91 here in the uk on amazon so why would I pay just under £6 more? Ok I get a $6 credit but I'd still be out of pocket. I like gog but I'd rather they stuck to older games and kept the same 2 price ranges, the last thing I want is more pricing etc thrown in there.

Edit: Also I have all the games gog is offering (though not all through gog) so that's another reason less. I'm all for supporting the developers but I'm all for the cheapest prices I can get things for too.

I'm so hyped about TW2 (counting days... while enjoying TW1)... i'm purchasing GoG's "Digital Premium Edition" cause all the awesomeness included & physical "Premium Edition" from GAME.CO.UK (wanted to buy "Collector`s Edition" but was late to party... well there is always eBay i still need "Dice Set" & "Playing Cards" :S )!!! TW1 is awesome ~100gph & still counting (on my Steam profile :D )... those Win7 crashes wont stop me & i have no doubt that TW2 will be even better!

Meh...Chinese is easy like a piece of cake.

Back to the discussions, I'd go for the physical copy.
I don't like to read manuals, game guides, world maps etc in pdf form.

GOG version FTW. On one monitor you can play the game, and on the other, you can check out the maps, and guides.
And also, the most important part... no DRM!

I really was interested in getting the collectors edition however right now I am leaning more and more towards the GoG version

I really think the GoG version is offering too much goodies and cotent to pass up

I have a question I don't find an answer to : is there a way to buy the physical collector's edition so that all the money (or at least, most of it) goes to CD-projekt, and not to some third-part retailer ?

Only if you buy the Polish version, since it is the only one published by CDP, will you not pay the publisher. And even then, the retailer (the immediate seller) will benefit, as will benefit GOG (shich although being a sister company remains a seperate entity all the same) from you buying TW2 here. Which is only fair I'd say.

In other words: don't worry too much. Until CDP goes public and stock would be available to investors (which I sincerely wish to CDP!) there is no way to pay 100% to CDP, since CDP is too small of a company to develop, publish and sell on it's own.

That seems quite logical... but then, I don't know what to do ^^ I really love that collector's package, but I also want to support GoG as best as possible, but I can't afford to buy both the physical and the online versions of the game =P

only buy digital version. can't find any local game store in my place
