For the other 1.5 million that couldn't download the DEMO you can breath easily. You can now get the Unreal Tournament 2004 DEMO on CD through BestBuy in store or online for $4.99 or FREE with a purchase of $14.99 or greater. Currently the DEMO disc is on backorder through the online store though you can still pick it up in store! So REV UP. RIDE OUT. and grab the last one while you can.

That's pretty cool. I think more people companies should do this. I mean, if you are on dial up, this'd save you a day of downloading. It'd cost you, but for five dollars, it'd be worth it. Razz

Sodge is correct in his thinking.

plus it's not a bad idea to have a backup copy somewhere......

Isn't it illegal to charge for something that can be had legally for free like this?

Maybe they could justify the cost of the CD & delivery, but $5 seems a BIT too much for that.

Why would the demo be on their computers?

Oh....and I have dialup and I got the demo and was playing the day after it came out. Mr. Green
