am not advertising but i was really surprised that pcandparts actually got this game in their stock as i was really hoping to buy aion anytime its released.
check it out: http://pcandparts.com/soft.htm

anyone getting this game besides me ? for the beta users do you recommend this ? or its just another generic MMO ? am gonna wish this is different than WoW.
omg i cant beleive they got it. i searched their site many times to see if they get and they finally did. yes im getting this. defenitely. this is the next WoW, not that its the same, its the next big thing though
Aion is sold on the official website as a DIGITAL copy. This means that you get to download the game. I don't know if PC and Parts downloaded the game and burned it on a dvd, but since the beta version is 9gb in a zip file, I don't know what PCandParts did (burned on 2 dvds, or 1 double sided...).

And babidi, I tried the game, it is not really the next wow, it looks a lot like it true, have other things in it, but in the same time, it lacks things too. I found wow more dynamic than Aion in the gameplay I mean. But still, graphics are amazing in Aion.
There is a lot of noise about this game in my country too. They say it is a mix of WoW and Lineage, something impressive. Time will show :)
@crazy: on what type of media u get the game is not important actually, pcandparts are selling the CD keys.. the client is downloadable and i prefer that they give it to me on a burned dvd or whatever cause im not gonna wait for 9gb to download here and you know how it is lol.
