Purchasing SMAX directly from EA?

[icevic]

Hi, I have checked EA's online store and it has SMAX onsale. However it didn't say if the product is available or not, like the out of stock text in other online retailers. Has anyone tried this yet? How is EA's sales reputation?

I think you will find it to be backordered if you were to order it. Some have said that Firaxis/EA may make another batch if they are sufficiently tempted by demand.

I emailed the EA store last week and have not received a response yet. I also placed an order with chips 'n' bits. they've gotten out of stock stuff for me in the past and maybe, they'll come through this time.

ea still hasn't gotten back to me but Firaxis got back to me in about an hour with this message:

John,

Unfortunately, EA is no longer producing Alien Crossfire. I recommend
trying Ebay or The Used Game Trading Zone (www.ugtz.com), you could pick up
a second hand copy of the game that way.
