What is it about the last line you do not understand? The
3DFX patch is for sale via the platinum edition. But it is
my understanding that the 3DFX "update will be available for 
download shortly". Why are you having trouble with this 
concept? Seems pretty clear to me. I did not think you have
to pay them for the downloadable update. You have other 
information?

Yep. But this is different than the 3DFX patch. It includes a mission
editor & 12 million additional sq. miles.
