Anyone else get a laugh out of the fact that they list for people without the internet a phone number to contact in your region.....ON the internet?

That's because that it's a press release: information released to the press to then reprint in their publications. So someone might subscribe to a gaming magazine and see the note there with the number to call.

Of course, why these people don't have internet access, I've no clue. Even if you didn't want to pay next to nothing for your own dialup, there's usually free access at libraries and such. They probably should've just said "Or you may call us at...".

Probably because not everyone has a computer. At any rate, those that do will pass the word on by mouth.

I do. It only takes a minute to fill out, and they pay for the postage. Its not like they spam you because you send one in.

Speaking of the cords, Penny Arcade has a good strip up about them.
