Mac Pre-ordering now available

Marc Duffy · 06-06-2006, 02:52 AM

To celebrate the fact that

a) OOTP Baseball 2006 is coming to the Mac
b) It's released tomorrow
c) We took so long to get the contracts sorted...

I'm offering a 10% discount off every Mac order placed between now and the 14th June 2006.

How to order?

Visit the Mac store : http://store.eSellerate.net/s.aspx?s=STR7312549025
Enter the coupon code : OOTPMAC10PATIEN which will take the 10% off the price.

Whilst you wont be able to play the game today, you'll get the necessary order code in anticipation of release

When is the game released?

If everything goes to plan, you can download the Mac version (1.0.1) tomorrow along with the PC patch and demo

May I take this opportunity to thankyou for your patience during this time

Any problems, just let me know

Yippee! Now, where's my wallet?

Marc Duffy · 06-06-2006, 02:54 AM

Also, before anyone asks. E-Sellerate currently do not offer multi currency pricing variance ... so all sales of the Mac game are in USD (this is a feature they are adding at the end of the month which will bring it in-line with the PC game ordering system)

Step up Brian Graham, the first person to pre-order the Mac version.

You get a SI cuddly toy and a lifetime supply of forum postings.

Congrats

OakDragon · 06-06-2006, 02:58 AM

Man, I loved that game! Played it all throughout high school (on a MacPlus also, btw). Later switched over to SoM until they stopped making the Mac version and I switched to a Mac without a floppy drive.

Course neither is anything compared to OOTP!

George Foster · 06-06-2006, 03:31 AM

Actually, I played much more of the first version on my AppleIIe!
Oh, all the time I spent with the GM disk and the Box Score/Stat Compiler....

George Foster · 06-06-2006, 03:40 AM

See Marc? We're talking about a game that was released in the 1980s!

Thanks again for giving us Mac folks some love...

It's no problem! Thanks for being so patient with us on this one.

doubles · 06-06-2006, 07:03 AM

Pre-ordered, and very happy I have tomorrow and Thursday off.

Now, just have to wait some more.

OHDOCTOR · 06-06-2006, 07:49 AM

It went off smoothly . . . thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works on my iMac, though I have less RAM than some of these heavy hitters.

Meanwhile, anyone know how I can get the attention of the webmaster? I've e-mailed him without success. Trying to change my e-mail address in my profile back to the original; but, since it belongs to a screen-name I no longer use, and can't remember, the CP doesn't allow me to use it . . . it's "in use" by another customer . . . that is, by me, under that name I don't recall. Any ideas?

USN Squid · 06-06-2006, 07:54 AM

Do I get a gold star or something for buying both Mac and PC versions?

Blame it on impatience. The WinXP side of my Macbook Pro will never see the light of day now that I have a Mac version of OOTP.

cocreator · 06-06-2006, 10:11 AM

Howdy, I just preordered Mac version.... YIPPEEEEE! I have downloaded the manual and guide and I am deep in learning mode. I realize the download wont be available until June 7th but where do I check to download it? Thanks Bryce

Marc Duffy · 06-06-2006, 10:12 AM

Sign up for the OOTP Developments newsletter and you'll get a mail tomorrow

OakDragon · 06-06-2006, 11:57 AM

Your /buy.php page still needs a link to the Mac store.

Marc Duffy · 06-06-2006, 12:38 PM

That'll all be updated tomorrow, some changes coming to the website
