Default PC Professional Retail Box NOT Available for the US?

I only found the UK version: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hitman-Absol...pd_sim_vg_h__6

The US Amazon only has the Download option, nothing else...

I believe that the Professional Edition on PC will be digital download only. Actually since I can't find the PC version on the GameStop site except for download, I get the feeling this game will be download only

So you're not getting the physical disc with the art book, and the clam shell box when you pre order the Pro Edition for PC. Just a downloaded version. I guess I have to change my pre order from PC to console, since I rather have the physical contents.
And get the PC version later on.

Yeah, I've ordered a few things from GAME, but then they started canceling my orders without any reason, so I stopped importing from there.

I haven't found a new PC place since then.

This is the version, right?

^ yeah. The toy is the only reason I believe that shows up as physical.

Otherwise I believe all PC copies of the game, beyond the Deluxe Professional Edition, are digital

I'm not sure what's going on. Some online stores in NA have the Pro Edition for PC but only available for download. Which all you're getting is the digital contents of the Pro Edition.

Does anyone from the U.K or any other regions pre-orderd the Pro Edition for PC and is getting the actual Physical contents similar to console version ?

In Poland there's available Professional Edition for PC in two version - digital and box. I'm going to pre-order that physical version later.
Box: http://sklep.muve.pl/pc/pc/hitman-ro...w-muve-pl/4985
Digital: http://sklep.muve.pl/digital/akcja/h...challenge/5103

In digital version Artbook and Making of video will be available to download from Steam (Artbook in pdf).

I know some stores in NA have the Pro Edition, but it's only for download. I want the box version of the Pro Edition for PC, not the digital.

Just found out that you can't actually use Play.com to ship to the US. It requires you to make an account and you can't select US as your country...

I have no idea why they're making such a mess of the PC version, it's like they're doing it on purpose due to agreements/cotracts with Sony/MS/Steam or something. I am just glad I managed to get my PC Professional edition pre-order in EB Games (Australia, with sniper challenge), strangely you can't even get the regular edition (only proffesional or Deluxe) from EB, but it only costs $78 AUD which is a bargin for games over here especially limited editions with extra goodies.
