Ordering using Paypal

from GalCiv2 Forums
Paypal payments are listed as being accepted by Stardock online ordering, yet when trying to pre-order a copy of GalCiv II this morning I was not presented with that option. Nor could I find any information regarding it in the FAQ or Support section.
It's no real loss, I'll simply use my CC to pay for it, but I figured I should question it, I prefer to do most of my online transactions via paypal.

Hi it was said before that PayPal will only be possible when the game is released. Don´t ask me why.

It's because PayPal can't accept pre-orders.

iirc, Paypal has to be processed immediately. Once we charge the pre-orders and make those available for pre-loading today, Paypal orders should be possible (today or tomorrow).

That's great news. Thanks!
I suppose another alternative would have been to sign up for total gaming and use the points to purchase the pre-order.
I didn't think about that, but it makes total sense.

Well I just ended up not bothering with it and went ahead and preordered at my local EB Games. The only thing that is going to suck is how they said they wont be getting it in untill the Feb22 at the earliest. ( yes im in Canada).

@zbiggie At least you should be getting a nice pretty box with your game that way

Just as an update, I did as I posted previously and ordered TotalGaming subscription with 5 tokens using paypal, then used those 5 tokens to pre-order the game and am now pre-downloading, saved myself a whole $5 in the process!

New game release days are one of the few times I resent living in Canada. I don't understand why it's frequently so hard to get games to stores on "release day" up here. Toronto's not exactly a long way from New York.
