If you click on the the New Baseball Product Information link it says (and has said for a couple of weeks):

[quote:e014e0610c]Pre-ordering and release information for the 2009 Baseball Ratings Guides and the 2009 baseball board and computer game products will be posted here shortly[/quote:e014e0610c]

A SOM employee posted (post #16) on Monday on the [url=http://www.stratfanforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68308&page=2]Strat-O-Matic Fan Forum[/url] that

[quote:e014e0610c]SOM anticipates starting to take baseball preorders on Jan 4. Nothing has been finalized regarding ratings books, 2009 team orders or opening day. I don't think any of that info will be posted this week.[/quote:e014e0610c]

From the strat site: Dec. 31

"[b:36e15aceb0]Opening Day[/b:36e15aceb0] release of the new board and computer game products should be Friday, February 12th. This is actually the same availability date as 2009 despite losing five days at baseball’s season’s end. The ratings book and disks will be released somewhere between January 20 and January 25."

No more ratings disks! I inquired about the possibility of receiving spreadsheets via email instead of a ratings disk. SOM responded that there will be no more ratings disks--all orders for the disk will be electronic downloads. This makes much more sense.

HALLELUJAH!!!! 'Bout damn time!! :D

Actually, today was the first day you could buy the disks/cards from the web site. They start mailing (or available for download) on Jan 25. (see: http://www.strat-o-maticmedia.com/community/announcements/new-baseball-product-information-updated )

I think they're closed now (but the web site isn't), so go buy your disks if you're so inclined!

It's obvious SOM's website is not that good, but I don't understand why I can't even find where I can actually order the "disk" (i.e. download the files). Has anyone else been able to locate that on their site? I see the announcements, but I don't see links to actually buy anything.
