Do you still buy from HPS?

Or - since you experienced guys probably have most of the titles

would you by from HPS or JTS for games originally published by HPS.

So far, as I can see, there are 2 considerations:

1. Graphics : A lot of the JTS sold games are getting a face-lift that makes them look like the IPAD terrain etc (which isn't bad). But the HPS games can be updated with Jison's mods which look very good.

2. When updates are issued, apparently HPS games will get them 10 days - 2 weeks later?

I can not answer the Jison mod questions, as I don't know.

As for updates, all updates originate out of JTS. JTS creates the first update for their JTS version. Next, they work on the HPS version. Once the HPS version is finalized, they send it to HPS for HPS to post it on their website.

We have seen some titles having both their JTS version and HPS version both being released within 7-10 days of each other. On the other hand, we had a Waterloo title that had a JTS update release on Aug31 and the HPS version was not available until Nov14. So there is no guarantee that both updates are released within a short time frame of each other.

If you live in the states, you can still acquire the CD versions of the HPS titles a little cheaper from NWS however, you have to mess around with storing your CD game disks. This is not a problem with digital download games.

If you live overseas, you are probably looking at the digital download versions of these games. If you plan on getting the DD version, I would suggest getting the JTS version as that is where the updates originate from, that is who supplies the tech support, and that is who releases the updates first, if there is an update to release.
