Coming in 2008 to a retailer near you!
Published on October 23, 2007 By Yarlen In Sins News

We've just completed the first version of the Sins of a Solar Empire retail box that will be showing up in a store near you come February 2008. This is the box for the standard retail version of the game; we're currently looking at a premium Collector's Edition edition too. Click on the image for a larger version and let us know what you think!

Personally as far as the cover goes, I like the black and red style that currently dominates the site and artwork; don't enjoy the blue addition as much. I think that simply the Kol's silhouette (the current logo for sins, possibly with more emphasis on SINS than on 'of a solar empire') in front of the red volcanic planet would be a perfect cover. It's obviously space-related, and will visually separate the box from other, lower quality, space-themed games. It's simplicity will hopefully be intriguing, as opposed to a spatially confusing blob of ships as is currently.

Also, I thought the phrase "Times of war are upon us" was powerful in the trailer. Perhaps it would make a good box caption as well?

Nice... I like the look of the cover. Love the use of the blue and red. Its nice and simple.

But a question about the preorder CE thingy. It says on my order "Sins of a Solar Empire (CD Preorder)" - Im assuming that this is the CD Media option people are talking about and not the download?

Dont want to email StarDock sales and look like a fruit basket if Ive already ordered the CD.

You're correct Those who got the download will have (Digital Download) instead.

I (actually) asked sales and "they" said for us early adopters, we can get the CE for the cost of shipping. Of course, you know about "them".

Nice. EA and the like disprove it, though.

EA moved onto step three

make fanboys your bitch, then abuse them and take all their lunch money.

IC isnt there yet.

Looks nice. I'm kinda surprised to not see the word "RT4X" anywhere though.

There's quite a bit on the inside flap and the back that's not shown.
