    No need to be online to play
    Hmmm, what type of MMO is that?
    Will there be a subscription charge for this too?

    Not sure about the no need to be online to play, seems weird

    As for the subscription

    Requires a monthly fee. The first month is free of charge.
    $12.95 per month.

    That seems pretty typical of some of the downloading services, EA are the same, costs more to DL than it does to pick up the retail game.

    Why on earth do they bother? When you can pick the game up instore, with all the associated manufacturing and distribution costs, for £16.99 why would anyone with a brain pay thirty quid for the privilege of using their own bandwidth to get it?
    RRP from Game is only £19.99
