Hey now. I don't want to get testy. But maybe I'm missing something. 

Here's how I read it...

The 3Dfx patch will be available for download shortly (I'm thinking
that means for 'free' like the alpha version currently on their web
page)

The platinum pack will include the 3Dfx update PLUS the campaign CD,
editor, etc (I'm thinking this will cost money...less if you already
own JF3)

Am I wrong?
