• The DirectX 10 version of the game will not ship with the initial launch. The DirectX 10 version of the game will be premiered at the German Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, August 20 – 24.
Well that answers that. August is a long ways away. :cry:

An unscientific and random guess at the $$ for Funcom might look like:
$60 Retail
$30 to Bestbuy/EB/etc
$15 to Publisher
$15 ish to Funcom?
So roughly $10 million from 700,000 units?

• Funcom estimates the day-one ship in (the number of boxes sent to retail) of the Age of Conan game to be around 700.000.
This bit confuses the hell out of me. How can they not know exactly how many CDs have been stamped, and boxes produced, and then stuck in a truck and sent to retail warehouses? Surely they know exactly how many physical units have been produced, since there'll be a cost involved with this.

Of course they do. Each one has a unique CD key. They just aren't broadcasting the exact numbers.

Some fall off the truck, some are lost due to the unofficial ebgames employee discount plan, some get misplaced in backpacks, and so on....
