After a thorough vendor selection PopCap Games chose CustomCD.us to provide this service.
Each backup CD is custom built and mailed directly to the customer. PopCap provides the backup CD for just $4.95 (including postage and handling) and provides a special bonus by giving the customer free trials of deluxe versions of other popular PopCap titles on the same CD.
Customers get the convenience and speed of downloading their game purchases with the security of a CD backup copy -all in one order. Customers in the USA, Canada and Europe can expect to receive their CDs within approximately 2-7 days.
