I'm eager to play PCM 08. Here is the catch. My main computer is not hooked into the internet. I have PCM 07 and run it on my roomies computer, but it can be a pain.
Am I going to be able to get a CD of the game or is this another download only game? |

Unfortunately, the CD version isn't released in the USA, but I'm sure you will be able to buy it off Amazon and Ebay. |

If you don't mind paying postage then all major retaillers here will sell it to you.

Hey fella's, back at you with a dumb question. You know how you guys in the UK have different X-boxes and Playstations than us here in America? Well that isn't true with PC's correct? Amazon UK has pre-order for 08 and I'm thinking of picking it up and having them ship it to me here in the U.S. |

You mean us guys all over europe 
Feel free to order from any random Amazon store. There are no PAL/NTSC problems with PC games.

its true. i wouldn't buy it in any if european stores. (ive learned that in college  )
try to buy it in the us ( ebay or so) or try downloading illegal. because the chance , that you won't be able to run the dvd with your dvd-station is very very big.
the dvd's in europe are different then those in the us you know. off course you can try it, but I can't guarantee it will work.

Thats film DVDs, that are protected with region security (America is Region 1, we're region 2 etc.). That's easily broken on a computer, and indeed some DVD players are region-free, meaning any DVD in the world is in theory playable on them.
Games on DVD are region-free though, so there shouldn't be a problem there. |

i very much doubt it though. unless they have mentionned it that its playable on dvd-stations.

Believe me. PC games are completely region free. There's no problems in buying games in Europe when you're from USA and vice versa. I've bought several games in US without any problems at all. |

Nah. Several console games also have protection - but right, not PC-games. |
