What do you think: better to order direct from MacSoft (for UT04) or go through a mac retailer?

-will macsoft direct orders receive it any earlier?

-is it good to support them directly since they've supposedly taken a beating on Halo?

-is it better to go through a retailer and feed the entire Mac supply chain?

-something else worth weighing in on?

Why and what are you doing?

Well,

Going directly will most-likey end up helping the Mac Developer in the profit margins area.

Can't say if it would be faster.

It might be cheaper to order somewhere else. (sales, shipping, free shipping, store specific extras etc.)

If you have the money I would say support the Mac Developer by purchasing it from their store.

My 2¢
