[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3485130, member: 22779"] The problem with mail in cards is there are a large number of gamers that aren't in the USA. It's not exactly 39 cents for me to mail a letter from Japan. Agreed, not a big price difference, but, still more. The big beef from me would be the lag time. It takes about a month or so for mail to go from Japan to the States. That would mean that I have to wait about a month after I bought any book to get online access. That would annoy me. Plus, what would happen if the letter was undelivered? As far as people pirating what's on the DI, I really don't think that's a huge problem. Despite the fact that you can get any WOTC book for free about two days after it's released, they still continue to sell. How likely is it that people will spend 10 bucks a month just to pirate it away for free when they can simply wait for the PtP site of their chose? A simple way would be to have a peelable sticker inside the cover of every book with the serial number printed underneath. It certainly works for most online games like Counter Strike or Halo. I can't imagine something like that would add much cost. [/QUOTE]
