Mindstorms Variations

[Notorious Guf]

I'm really keen to buy myself a Mindstorms NXT 2.0 set & have found one from a German seller. It is however the German version & since I don't speak German, I was wondering how it varies from the English Version. Is it just the disk that comes with it, because if it is I can organise to purchase an English disk seperately. If there is more of a variation, I would love to know.

Is it also possible to download the English software online so I don't have to buy a separate disk?

Thanks :D

You can download an English version of the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 software (for the 8547 set) directly from this specific Lego Customer Service webpage.

Excellent, thanks. So I take it then that it is just the software that makes a German version German?

I don't know -- maybe the German version of the robot above is named "Alpha Rolf 2.0" (instead of Alpha Rex 2.0)!
