Stardock only has the CE version in stock, so yes, if you order from them, that is what you will get. The Bonus Pack was to be just for pre-orders, but has not been incorporated into the basic patches.

If you order the CD from Stardock, you can also download and start playing right away.

as I knew a reply here before stardock

nothing against them, I just use to work customer service for a game company before and know how overwhelming it can be at times

well thanks tony

if I may ask what is the bonus pack?

The bonus pack adds a few maps, and doo-dads and so on to decorate custom ships with. Nothing to ge too excited about, but nice to have, non-the-less.

Bonus pack is for everyone. Think of it as the first patch. When you order from Stardock they will send you the game. But you will also be given a serial number with which you can download the game immediately after you install Stardock Central. What you will download will be the full game with the bonus pack and the Friday patch all integrated together. Everyone, no matter how they got their game, is on this version.

The Collectors Edition simply has a couple extras:
1) About 15 new ship "jewelry" which don't effect stats
2) A desktop theme

You will find a code number in your CE box you get to be able to download these CE extras.

I placed an order a little bit ago for the game on the star dock website! now am just killing time awaiting for the order to be processed and get the download link!

I was a bit suprised, when i placed my order it did not give me an order number or anything, or an email, blah hope i did not screw it up, I guess off to BF2 while I wait

I think you did something wrong - I just ordered and you don't even have to wait for a confirmation email. The last ordering page (the receipt), that you see when it accepts your order has the download link and your serial number right on it. Although I also got a confirmation email within seconds. I think something went wrong with your order placement.

If you purchase it standalone from TotalGaming, then it's $44.95. If you become a member it will cost you 5 tokens (~$35).
